RLJ,
If your VA doc is still adament in his belief after you instruct him of your lawyers info, you could also point out that he could write the exact same info on a VA form/blank progress note.....then you get the info you need and he can keep to his 'rule' It frustrates me that so many of us have difficulty getting our docs to be detailed enough in their notes. I understand they are under a time crunch, but neglecting to adequately document so we cannot easily get the benefits we are entitled to directly adds STRESS, which is no good for any medical or psychological condition. Hurting a patientthat way violates their oath to do no harm.......so tell your lazy doc to fill out the damn form ! It bothers me even more that it's a VA doc giving you the runaround. How about some respect for our vets !

I also sent a copy of the VA directive to him that disputes his decision not to do it. This directive from the Cheif Of Medical Staff at the VA in Washington says he has to do it. He has no choice. I guess he could put it off for several weeks if he wanted to but I don't think he is that way. He honestly thought it was not allowed. |

It may be to the point that you have to have the surgery in order to keep functioning. If so, make sure that you totally understand the risks involved. If you do decide not to have the surgery because of the risk and you think you can get along without it. I would then ask the doctor to put in writing that the surgery could very well make your situation worse and that you are not willing to take the risk. I would then take what the doctor writes to SSA AFTER I MADE COPIES. I may be wrong but this may help with your SSDI claim. I do know that you definitly need to keep SSA updated on changes to your condition. Legal may be able to offer better advice but just hang in there.

Why unfortunately? Anything that could help your claim can't be unfortunate. I think that you are very fortunate to be able to get something to help your claim.
