Ok so backround first 50% PDRL AF- PTSD and 100% VA for PTSD, knee, back, mild TBI and all the other boo-boos i have that they rate on.
Allpied SEP 2013 for SSA disability got denied cause they said not bad enough not to work, got a lawyer in OCT2013 submitted appeal and not I have received the independent consult exam for physical disabilities and was told to expect one for mental health soon. I have already confirmed my appt they gave me a whopping 3 days notice what can I expect or should be made aware of before attending this mystery dr evaluation. thanks in advance all who veiw and post.
 
google the ssdi exam, the tests they use etc are very common, and to be honest I do not feel as though they are indicative of anything except mental impairment in relation to if you can think/reason use memory etc. I do not feel that it would be indicative of anything concerning social impairment or the occasionally "I just do not feel like getting out of bed some days" issues. but Maybe they do. Either way the exam was pretty straight forward and the doctor in my case very professional.
 
I found most of the SSDI exams to be on the mickey mouse level. My Physical one lasted about 5 minutes after waiting for two hours to get in, then the pysch one lasted about 15 minutes after waiting 3 hours to get in. Oh and by the way first time NOGO at these stations and I am 100% permanent and IU VA and 90% DoD...

of course my results reflect the state I am in, each state does the exams not the SSA.
 
Yeah i figured entry level exams Im in las vegas,NV and many ppl here are more lazy than disabled and abuse/strain the system making it difficult for ppl who really do need this help
