Keeping this from being long winded, I filed for PCS a while back when the VA didn't recognize it. In 2013 I had a TBI screen which I was told was negative. About a year later I filed for residuals of TBI. Was denied real fast and have an appeal currently sitting in some dark room.
Anyways I have been reading doctors notes form the VA for visits since 2010 and finally stumbled on notes entered about my TBI screen in 2013. The doctors notes say the screen was positive and consult for further eval. It also listed 7 or 8 symptoms that I was having problems with. The end of the notes concluded with...
"Positive screen. Results of TBI Screen discussed with patient.
Consult for further evaluation discussed with patient and the patient agrees. Consult order entered.
TBI Comprehensive Screening Consult."
Maybe I am reading this incorrectly but since 2013 they have clearly said my TBI screen was negative. My wife had concerns about this in 2014 when I was having a hard time with some things and I called again about scheduling an appointment for it but they said no need to since my screening was negative. For me to talk to my docs on the mental health team. I never had any sort of follow up concerning TBI.
Does anybody have a different interpretation of what these notes mean. I feel like I am going crazy sometimes and seeing things the way I want to see them. I don't even bother with asking my wife anymore about things. She has lost all patience with me.
