Hi,
i am new to this so please excuse me if I ramble a bit.
I have applied for disability with the VA in January of 2017. I am applying for PTSD - MST depression and anxiety secondary to ptsd also hypertension secondary to ptsd. I also have a claim for bilateral knee problems from a misdiagnosed knee problem from boot camp. I am frustrated by the whole process, but I guess I can only blame myself. The knee injury occurred in 1979 and the MST from 1980-82. I never knew I could get help for my knee years ago. I assumed that you had to retire from the service to use the VA. I am seeing a therapist with the VA and a psychiatrist with the VA. My bp has been out of control for years last visit to the va, my pc had to give me 2 nitroglycerin tablets under my tongue to get my bp down. It was 215/120. They have changed my meds so now it is getting closer to normal range. I am afraid they will say my bp is fine and deny that part of the claim. I have had a c&p for my ptsd with an outside contractor and he said he believes I have ptsd. On my healthy vets my doctors notes say ptsd (r o) mdd anxiety depression. Have a c&p tomorrow for my knees. I guess I am just wondering if anyone has any idea when I will hear from them if it is approved and should I get a VSO to look at my case
thank you

Tready lightly there...some are in if for themselves. But that was just my experience.

you're probably right. where humans are concerned there can be self-interest.

Self interest and interest in the hand that feeds it. Nearly 2 years ago I had DAV as my VSO of record. They told the VA to deny my claims, and in fact sent me a letter on official VA letterhead
