I was just wondering if anyone has ever jumped to the pending decision phase without a C & P? I have a rating at 0% for headaches; and 30% for MDD. I have been actively going to VA clinic here in Georgia for MDD since 2011; and was diagnosed through the VA with PTSD. I originally filed the claim for PTSD in June 2014. I know that I can only be rated for one MH, but do any of you think that with the addition of PTSD and MDD that my rating would increase? The Regional office recently called me to ask more questions about my issues and then she stated that I should have added MST. She then asked me if I had the address of witnesses etc. so I gave her the information that she requested. I am really nervous because I noticed that in my VA medical records the GAF score is no longer included and my VA mental notes from my last MH appointment were pretty much on how I was doing for that day.
