C & P Exam- Depression Not Ptsd Diagnosis?
Hello all! While I have referenced these forums before while filling out my paperwork, I haven't used them. My husband had his c&p exam today. I could use a little advice and perspective. We submitted the ptsd claim paperwork in January. [After much encouragement.] My husband is unable to maintain work, has difficulty in all social situations, has regular mood swings, trouble with anger, nightmares to name a few, very regular symptoms. Today, he had his c&p exam and I wasn't sure about the whole experience. The curator was gruff and very short. He told me that he needed to speak to my husband alone. [which I respected, assuming he would need to speak…

What Is Really Going On With Va?
I filed for compensation in 1991 for MDD (denied). I then filed again in 2002 (denied again). Both situations were attempted suicide; the first episode I was in the service. In both, diagnoses was MDD. TODAY, I found out that the letter which I thought was a denial is actually what you guys call a “boilerplate” letter. I have read that the letters that were sent out back then were not in legal form. How can you tell? In 2013, I requested my claim to be reopened (I am assuming it is because on ebenefits they have reopen on it). Right now I am in the section “Review of Evidence”…….any ideas as to whats next?

Error On C&p Exam
Hello everyone! At the current time, I am waiting on a decision for my IU claim. The disabilities that I put down were migraines and depression. Well I went to my last c&p exam (migraines) on last Thursday, and I just received the results today. Well its clear the doctor checked the wrong box, so how can I bring it to their attention before they start rating? Not only will it more than likely mess up my claim for IU, but it will also decrease me. Here is the information from c&p and you can see the conflicting information: (Thanks in advance) 1. Diagnosis ------------ Does the Veteran now have or has he/she ever been diagnosed with a headache condition? [X…

tdiu C&p For Dmii Increase
After filing a claim via FDC system on Ebenefits in June of 2013 I checked my status and it has changed from Gathering Evidence back to the Review stage. I call the VA and they tell me they are sending me for a C&P exam. My contention is that I should be getting 20% for my DMII due to the fact that I now have to take oral medications to control my glucose level. My PN is getting worse as well. All my records are at the VA Hospital in Tampa. Ebenefits showed that they claim to have asked me for a 5103 Waiver, and that I never supplied one. This is a damn lie since they never sent me a VCAA letter, but I made a sworn statement to the VA in December 2013 that I had…

diabetes C&p Exam For Increase In Compensation
I am wondering what to expect for this type of exam. On the 5th of next month I am scheduled for both general and physic C&P exams for increase in compensation. I am currently rated at 60% and do NOT currently qualify for an increase to 100% under their guidelines. When I filed for this increase I was hoping to have another item tied into my 60% (sleep apnea secondary due to GERD/Depression with CPAP (va approved)). This would of put me at 80% and would of gave me a real chance at the TDIU, but, unfortunately that claim is still in limbo. But, I have heard (read) where even if I do not meet the va guidelines that they "could" still grant 100% TDIU. I am won…

C&p Exam Status Quo?
MSLA called on Saturday to ask to reshcedule Mondays C&P appointment to Sunday. I got a ride to the appoinment only to find out that VA or MSLA did not supply the doctor with records for her to do a review. So nothinig got done. I called MSLA this morning to let them know what had happened and they informed me that other C&P appoinments for this week have also been cancelled and they will inform me when they have new appoinments available. Is this typical? What a charlie foxtrot.

Knee Exam - Does This Make Sense?
I don't think I will be getting anything for this since all the check the box type answers are negative for problems and the Doc failed to note the popping he mentioned when moving my knee as well as the difficulty going up stairs that he asked me about. Doc also appears to contradict himself in the notes unless I am just not understanding this properly. Under diagnosis he gives me none but in remarks he gives me one and states it's inactive as well as was at least as likely as not. 1. Diagnosis ------------ Does the Veteran now have or has he/she ever had a knee and/or lower leg condition? [ ] Yes [X] No 2. Medical history ------------------ a. Describe th…

I am SC for PTSD @ 50%. I was denied SC for TBI and Sleep Apnea. I submitted a NOD and I am still awaiting word. In the meantime I filed for CFS, Fibromyalgia, migraines, and sleep disturbance.
