Psychodiagnostic Evaluations

As a rehabilitation psychologist, who has worked in the field of disability management, I have performed many evaluations which have been utilized in the following forums:

  • Service connected disability evaluations.
  • Individual unemployability assessments.
  • Vocational rehabilitation evaluations for
    • Veteran’s Administration benefits
    • Worker’s compensation
    • Auto related injuries
    • Malpractice litigated files.
  • Social Security Disability assessments.
  • Life Care Plans - evaluations used to assess life long needs of catastrophic in juries, i.e. head injuries, para/quadriplegics, pediatric C.P.

From Ron L.,

     Myself and Dave S., my service officer from The Military Order of The Purple Heart, received your evaluation in the mail yesterday, and I must tell you that I don't get encouraged by much these days but after reading your report J am totally confident that I will get what I have been fighting for all these years. I spoke with Dave yesterday and he feels the same. He said he really liked what you had written and was going to take the evaluation to the ratings officer today. Dave was with another client when I called today so I could not find out what decision was made. I will talk to him on Friday, and I will update you on the outcome.
     I am sending the latest correspondence from my current therapist to my union rep. I am appealing (my employer’s) Disability decisions to not pay me for the last two weeks of my disability leave.
     I have not rescheduled any appointments with these people, because I just do not feel confident in their ability to help anymore. I will contact my benefits people and explain my reasons for wanting to change who I treat with and see what they say. Thank you for all your help.

Sincerely,
Ronald F. L.
Dear Dr. Tripi:

      I received the Rehabilitation Evaluation that you wrote on my behalf. I was very pleased by it.
     Thank you.
     I am forwarding it to the Department of the Army to include in the record for my retroactive medical retirement case.
     If you know of any medical physicians orthopedists who specialize in back injuries who you would think may give me a favorable evaluation I would appreciate a referral to one.
     Finally, if I get more involved in VA work (which I might as my sister is an attorney and an R.N. and is married to a surgeon and she has a pretty active interest in medical type cases) I will certainly refer you cases for rehabilitation evaluation in the future.
     Thanks again. I thought the evaluation was outstanding.
