Mental health exam frustrations
I had a virtual c and p appointment for mental health last week and I thought it went great. So great that I even made a post on here saying how pleased I was. I felt listened to and heard. I finally felt that I wasn't crazy or that I didn't have anyone to turn to that cared. Well that was an act I guess. And a damn good one. After talking to my VSO this morning, it seems the appointment couldn't have gone any worse. I haven't read the comments yet, but my vso officer said she recorded the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I told her. I can't see the DBQ until another week at least, but I guess now all I can do is wait for the rating. This is all part of a BVA appeal also. In my original claim I never even got a C/P for MH, they just denied it even though I had evidence and lay statements. I feel lost, angry, confused, and just don't know where to go from here. I really want to reach out to the examiner but I know that is a HORRIBLE idea. I live over an hour away from the nearest RO so the only other way to get my dbq is through FOIA and that seems counterproductive. Sorry for the rant but any advice or thoughts on this are welcome.
