I was approved for disability retirement over 2 months ago. Sedgwick continued to pay me for 2 months. I contacted them and told them that they should not be paying me and I have the money they paid me. i had so many issues with the agent who was assigned to me. its as if she was intentionally trying to end my disability. she lied about never receiving my doctors paperwork to continue my disability. when I told her I applied for disability retirement, i learned that she never sent over any paperwork in support of my claim. she went in my VA medical records and tried to find anything to support a denial. i had no clue she was allowed access to those records. I just happened to call the retiree board to see what records they needed. they asked if Sedgwick had information about my severe vision loss. i said yes. they said she never sent that to them. I was told to send all records over the past year from any doctors who care I was under.

When I called Sedgwick, the agent seemed surprised that my disability retirement was approved. she said she had not been sent any information about. she would stop payments. Should i go get a cashiers check and send them the money or make a request for them to take it out of the acct they deposited in it in?

i am service connected for mdd. after a 4 hour psychological exam, four VA mental health doctors concluded that I have severe paranoia due to severe mdd. i now have to do a long term treatment program. I have not worked since 2013. i avoided filing a service connected claim until last year bc any conversation about my time on active duty sends me into a dark place. my job finally granted me disability retirement. i somehow got forgotten about and they did not realize I had been on LTD for over 10 years. should I apply for TDIU?

what is going on with VA healthcare appts? i received a letter saying I had missed my eye appt on 04/27. I never had an appt on that date. I never received a text to confirm a 04/27 appt. i keep all my appt confirmation text. My appt isn’t till 05/11. I checked my appt log online and i never had an appt on that day and its saying that the facility cancelled my appt on 05/11 which was still scheduled 2 days ago. no one notified me of the cancellation. i have a letter from Ophthalmology saying that my 05/11 appt time was changed from 10 to 9:30. i was aware of that bc they did contact me about that over 2 months ago. that change is noted on my appt records.

every time I have an appt I am now being told that due to the new system appts are hard to get. that’s just crazy. they diagnosed me with catergory 3 blindness due to glaucoma and cataract. they said I have no peripheral vision in my right eye and need to take a vision field test to see if I need a restricted license or need to lose my driving privileges. my vehicle lease is up in a couple of months and I needed to have that test done to know if I can even get another vehicle. i don't want to go get a new vehicle and not be able to drive it. this is so frustrating.
