I have a VA psychiatric exam next month and now social security wants me to have one now. I have a big problem with this because the last one the SSA cancelled it. Why must I have two different exams when social security has been using mainly VA Medical records. What are the differences in the two exams and does the SSA have to have the graphic details? I mean SSA has letters to them from my VA docs and all, so why do I need a seperate test. I'm sorry but sometimes I feel like telling them where they can all put it. What I guess is the SSA exam like has anyone had one?

Answered in another thread but yes you need both exams as SS and VA are looking at different criteria and they use the exam to justify and award or a denial. If one grants sooner and that will probably happen send a copy of your award to the VA. Oh I mean whoever is last and we all know who that will be if the first was an award.
