I got a letter saying I had an exam with them for my speration claim. I am on TDRL with 70% VA and DoD. What is this? I am finding negative reviews about veterans losing benefits through them. I thought the VA did an exam 1 year after your separation? Do I need to go?
Veterans Evaluation Services ?

Also FYI I already had a C&P exam. I don’t get what this is for ?
I can comment on VES. A few years ago, I had a C&P exam through them and received an increase from 80% to 90% which was fair.
Recommend one never ignore a scheduled C&P exam. I have seen reports of several veterans receiving a proposal to reduce benefits because they did not report for exam.

ok, but why at 6 months after separation? I thought it was a year.
Hmm, out of curiosity, what is your PEB-referred "unfit for duty" medical condition(s) determined to be "permanent and unstable" which placed you onto the DoD military TDRL at that particular point in time?
Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer!"
Best Wishes!
It is a pysch related- pyschosis. It was considered unstable, but not permanent. I just was not expectung an exam until tge year mark.
Okay, thanks; well, it may be in response to a 38 CFR VASRD §4.129 "Mental disorders due to traumatic stress" requirement if evaluated by the DoVA D-RAS and determined by the DoD IDES PEB for placement onto the DoD military TDRL.
It states "When a mental disorder that develops in service as a result of a highly stressful event is severe enough to bring about the veteran's release from active military service, the rating agency shall assign an evaluation of not less than 50 percent and schedule an examination within the six month period following the veteran's discharge to determine whether a change in evaluation is warranted. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1155) [61 FR 52700, Oct. 8, 1996]."
In retrospect, about seven months after being placed onto the DoD military TDRL, I received a DoVA C&P examination appointment for PTSD; my PEB-referred "unfit for duty" medical condition determined to be "permanent and unstable" by the DoD IDES PEB and evaluated under 38 CFR VASRD §4.129 criteria by the DoVA D-RAS. Upon conclusion of the DoVA C&P examination, the DoVA Rating Agency increased my PTSD rating to 100% from a 50% rating when placed onto the TDRL. Unfortunately, the USAPDA LDES PEB would only recommend a 70% rating for PTSD so I appealed the PEB decision. As a direct result, a long 4 year & 17 day tenure on the TDRL eventually occurred until justice was finally served via placement onto the DoD military PDRL at a DoD (Army) 100% rating for PTSD just four months ago! Indeed, that's my own personal TDRL ordeal which doesn't translate to any similar actions for others while placed onto the DoD military TDRL.
As such, it's just a thought but you may want to check your PEB documentation to see how your "psych related- psychosis" medical condition was rated by the DoVA D-RAS then subsequently adjudicated by the PEB for placement onto the DoD military TDRL. Take care!

Thanks I do remeber the six month for PTSD, but I was not rated for that, but I garner there are many of the same symptoms.
Indeed, you are welcome!
Okay, it was just a thought nonetheless with a focus on the six month after separation verbiage.
As such, I hope and pray that all goes extremely well with the Veterans Evaluation Services. Take care!

There are certain conditions that the VA require a re-rate after 6 months.

Thanks, my paranoia flares up and I think it is some scam with a non-VA sited appointment.

You are welcome. It is wise to be cautious in a world full of scams. If people ask for money or PII then I get a tad paranoid myself.
Tijdens een weekend in Amersfoort had ik gesprekken over online spelen en veiligheid. Ik wilde weten hoe anderen dat aanpakken. Via https://vegas-hero.co.nl/ las ik over verschillende opties en aandachtspunten. Voor Nederland stonden er praktische tips over betaalwijzen en acties. Het voelde alsof iemand meedenkt in plaats van stuurt.
Mijn oude tuinslang had overal scheuren en spoot water in alle richtingen behalve waar het moest. Ik probeerde een paar dagen zonder resultaat, maar toen had ik geluk bij spin mama en kon ik een stevige opvouwbare slang kopen. Voor spelers in België zijn de betaalopties vertrouwd en de uitbetalingen verliepen vlotter dan ik had verwacht.
