Hi Mark,
I sent you an email but I do not see the option to attach a document (PDF), can you please let me know how that works?
Thank you

send me any email to reply to. I'll reply. Then you can reply back to my email address with attachments. That keeps my email address off the public forum.
You have your profile set to not receive emails.

Sorry, for that. Now I changed preferences, allowing members to email me. I hope I got it right. It took me a long time to figure it out. sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks

B,

I read the scans of the reports. I don't think you should be concerned about the off hand malingering comments. The italics comment is more important and in your favor. I can see that you are struggling severely.

I don't think you should try to get another NPA but you should find an attorney or disability representative who can help you understand the NPA report. I think your struggles make it hard for you to fully grasp all of the issues in your favor. Your anxiety that leans toward a confused sort of paranoia is working against you in your mind. This is not uncommon. There is a lot to sort through for even a mind that is not struggling.

If you have access to any historical assessments of your abilities prior to your injuries, they could be used as a comparison to today. College boards, SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, Assessments by coworkers, professors, advisors, teachers, and such can put context to your current state.

Hi Mark,
Can't thank you enough for taking a close look into my case. Your words are reassuring. Per your suggestion, I scheduled a couple of consultations with attorneys.

I will try to not stress about it. You can see my scores are very low right?

To answer your questions: Yes I must have somewhere GRE scores, also I have a PhD. I did a short version of the NPA following my first concussion - when my visual symptoms were not as severe - and I did much better. It was however only an hour test (3 years ago).

Thanks!
B

I know how you feel. I passed some Neuro-Psych test too, but it's hard because some other doctors argued with me that the test is too much "subjective" while others thinks it's valid?! If it wasn't valid, why would this test even exist then? My own result came really low myself and it shows how I lost a lost of my memory/concentration skills for the past decade, but still they still argue and I struggle to get disability myself...(I'm from Canada BTW). I'm with a lawyer myself and we're trying to find a specialist.

Hope everything will go well for you, as it'll give ma bit of hope!
