ptsd Ptsd

If say for instance a veteran meets only the social occupational aspect where by he cannot secure gainful employment due to difficuly in adapting to stressful circumstances (including work like setting); inability to establish and maintain effective relationships, should not the veteran be awarded a 100% PTSD rating?? or does the veteran have to meet more than one of the 38 CFR requirements to be awarded 100% PTSD one final note if a vet is alre…

ptsd Read Those C&ps Carefully
I'm currently at 90% and being evaluated for TDIU. The doctor did a C&P psych eval (depression, PTSD) plus a Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II). FWIW, he said I'm unemployable. Two weeks later, my medical record had the BDI-II score but no C&P eval. Spoke with the doc and he said he had transmitted it to VARO but hadn't cut and pasted it into my medical record. Uh oh. He promised to cut and paste it into my medical record. He kept his word and it was in there the following day. Good thing I checked! He answered the question "Is patient capable of managing benefit payments to own best interests" as NO. I touched base with him again and he agreed he'…

Good Source For Help With Va Claims
The local VFW club in your home town or area, Purple Heart Association, American Legion club in your home town or area, etc., are good places to get help with your VA claims, appeals, or whatever. I live in a small town in Oklahoma and have a VFW club in town where the members are very knowledgeable in VA affairs and more than willing to help a fellow Vet. They will sit down with you, help you fill out the forms, help with getting documents, etc. They have helped over 100 Vets get their benefits. So if you have a Vet club in your area don't hesitate to ask them for help. If you don't want to got to the club house then they will also meet you at your home or their…

I received a denial on 19 August 2009 and submitted a NOD on 14 August 2010 which I sent Registered and Return Receipt plus I put it on IRIS, the number the informtion etc, but they have declined it beause the W-S VARO denied it since the NOD was not received until September 2nd.Do I have to re submit since the original VA contract examination was really bad. Still the question is that right about denying the nod ?

Vet Service Rep Says Leave Well Enough Alone
Awarded 100% P & T. Have many other illnesses that could account for additional SC. Advised by vet.rep to just let it go since I am not scheduled for any further examinations. In other words...don't rock the boat, leave well enough alone so your file doesn't get brought back up for review. That makes sense and you don't exactly get more than 100%. In otherwords is it worth the risk?

Senate Approves Cola Increase For Disabled Vets
We all know that saying something and doing something are two different things. I could not find the full article even if there is a full article, there may not be a full article and for this to happen will be a miracle but never the less, I will pass it on. If someone can find more information or the full story please post it. I found this on WWW.Veteranstoday.com, it was under the Top 10 Veterans Stories in Today's News and the date is supposed to be 9/23/2010.

Nod Time
Honestly I do listen and follow the advice here but at the time I had my hands full fighting the multiple back problemwhich I finally beat them down and got it granted. Wrong diagnosis really and low ball rating but full grant so a win none the less. This is an aside, have you ever seem to hit a wall where everything you send at them, and without time to even read the evenvelope they come back with a denial, to everything regardless. It seems like a synyndrome of some sort. It has been that way since I won through DRO on the back. They really did not want to approve that. Curious if anyone else has come across that scenarrio? If this sounds good, so I will print of…

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
