ptsd C-file Request...
Hey All, Here's a real peach, I requested a copy of my c-file in August 2005, still haven't received it, nor have I received anything saying they are in the process of copying it. I filed for SSDI nearly five months age and I called the SSA to see how far along they are in deciding my claim with them, and I was informed that they were just waiting on some medical information that they've requested TWICE from the VA!?!?! I have an upcoming C&P exam to determine if I rate a higher percentage for PTSD, but I can't really wait for the VA to take their sweet-*ssed time to send the key information that SSA needs to decide my claim... the bills are piling up and the c…

ptsd Rating Disabilities For C&p's
Recently I have undergone several C&P's. During the C&P the Dr asks various questions concerning the disability I'm claiming and other ailments or disabilities that may raise problems in the my health. During mine the Dr stated from medical records that I had more than just the one disability and marked down all the other ones along with the major one. My question is do the raters also rate the other disabilites with that or just the claimed one that you file for? Maybe they just take into consideration all the other ones overall and how it makes the Veteran feel. For example in my case PTSD was the claim but, of course they said I had depression as well as agorap…

More Questions About The Va Hearing
Ok....Let me get this straight. First, I need to fill out the IU form and submit it to the VA, with a copy of my letter from my psych doctor. Second, I need to send in another claim for schizoaffective disorder as being secondary from my current Major Depression withPsychotic Features. And this will all be considered together, with my current claim for increased SC disability for Major Depression with Psychotic Features and IBS. I will be attending a VA Hearing in November, at that time what will happen? Is it like going to court? Will I have to say anything, will someone represent me? I get nervous trying to talk to people I don't know. Cherie

Just go to the URL for the full decision Hope this helps a vet ! carlie http://www.va.gov/vetapp95/files4/9517775.txt 2. Entitlement to an earlier effective date for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder.

In particular, he contends that the VA rating board ignored evidence contained in his May 1969 separation physical examination and the report of the March 1970 VA psychiatric examin…

Extra Schedular Rating
I do not recall anybody talking about an award of an extra schedular rating. Is this something you apply for? Is there a form? Or, is the decision to seek an extra schedular rating a unilateral decision by the RO. I am convinced that I would require such a rating on one of my disabilities. It was never even discussed in my decision even though I brought up the question and said that my condition would require such a rating. I thought I heard that there is an advantage to having a 100+ rating.
