I filed in 2008 and was low balled for ptsd and denied other conditions. After a couple years I hired a lawyer to wave his magical wand over my claim. I just got my brown envelope a couple day ago(3 weeks after emailing Allison) and was rated 100% permanent for ptsd. The letter also stated that my other claims would be looked at and most likely need c&p's I assume.
2 concerns I have.
My retro date is from my last C&P exam which was only a few months ago. My lawyer wants to go for a earlier retro date which makes sense to me. Anyone know a time frame to resolve a issue like this? I almost want to pursue this action on my own but feel I'd be kicking my lawyer in the balls.
I really dont want to bother with the VA about the other claims. The VA stresses me out/reminds me of the army and I would much rather cancel the appointments (thoracic spine pain, funky healed broken foot, chronic cough/sinusitis) and not deal with the VA. Is this a foolish move?
I would also like to thank these forums. I'm mainly a lurker but I have lurked a lot when feeling very hopeless about my claim. This section would give me hope to not give up.
