I have a appeal concerning a PTSD issue,DRO has order a PTSD exam because the first time when they denied my claim regional office did not sent my to get one. I already did the C&P exam two months ago.The exam only took 20 minutes, I was awarded with CAB since my last deployment to IRACK. I has been in PTSD clinic since 2 years,been in day hospital at VAMC for two weeks,anger managment treatment and so on,in my way out to the door the examiner stated I am service connected for PTSD, here is my question, HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT TO GOT RESPONSE FROM THE DRO AND WHAT PERCENT COULD I HAVE BASED ON THE ABOVE INFORMATION? COMENTS WILL BE WELCOME THANKS

Yes PHILIP, i have been denied for PTSD on my first claim and the the desicion was as follow: You were evaluated by the head psychiatrist at VA MEDICAL CENTER PTSD program in 02/04/2008. After said evaluation, the final determination was that your mental disorder is more consistent with the diagnosis of adjusment disorder, anxius symptoms. You meet the DSM IV TR stressor criteria for PTSD, as well as the simptom criteria for persistent reexperiencing the traumatic event. But,you did not fulfill the symptom criteria for persistence avoidance of the stimulus, nor for persistent hyper arousal. The VA examiner noted that you were not observed to become anxious,distressed or depressed when you were relating your experiences in the military service. you did not report feelings of intense fear,helplessness or horror at the time when you experienced the events. After this evaluation you were admited to the program for six months under observations of the symptoms,but not with the diagnosis of PTSD. After the six months gone, i went in my second evaluation and got my dignostic of PTSD and admited to PTSD clinic in which since that time have been in monthly appoiments with psychiatrist and psychologist and under medications and a lot of grup therapy and DAY hospital treatment. sorry for the long post,but want to be clear in order to get the right answers. THANKS PHILIP and all the forum members.
