9. PTSD Denied with a Not Service Connected but PTSD - Combat related description

   I am currently at a 90% rating and have been fighting the appeal status for a PTSD rating for the last few years. I just saw that my Higher Level Review was closed yesterday with no change to my E-Benefits. What I am struggling with is that they have PTSD described in my disabilities and classify it as "Not service Related" but the "Related to" section it shows PTSD-Combat. How can I have PTSD from COMBAT that came from incidents that happened while I was in COMBAT but its NOT service related!!!! I have over 500 pages from my VA Psychologist showing that I have PTSD and they still denied it. I haven't received my letter from the HLR to see what the appeal has stated …

10. Can you get a 100% P&T PTSD rating and not have work impairment

    If you have dominantly social impairment from PTSD and there is enough evidence of this and this has worsened, can this alone get you to 100% P&T from 70%. Do you also have to demonstrate work impairment? I'm asking how the VA views 'total impairment.' Do you have to have both social and work impairment or can social impairment suffice? Do they look at how long you have been previously rated in making their decision? I am waiting for a decision letter for a PTSD increase claim that closed last week. The claim includes my private therapist's nexus letter and DBQ where he specifies language of "more likely than not to be permanent in nature". He also provided a …

12. Do I have to keep seeing my therapist?

    I am 65 years old and have been 100% P&T SC PTSD for 7 years. With all of this Covid stuff, I haven’t seen my therapist for several months. I’ve decided to not see him for the next few months & I wonder if I am in danger of losing my benefits if I stop going to my therapist for a while or if I stop altogether. Thoughts?

15. VA IG on PTSD claim screw ups

    PTSD vets need to read this- if they have a claim in process or have already been denied. I think many denials might hold a valid CUE....... because of this report and 38 CFR 4.6. In part: "Claims processors did not request or verify the in-service stressor in an estimated 14,600 of the 18,300 claims. · Claims processors did not obtain a medical examination, medical opinion, or clarification of examination inconsistencies in the remaining estimated 3,800 claims."7 and "The OIG estimated that 6,300 of the 18,300 improperly processed claims resulted in errors affecting benefits, totaling improper payments of $90.6 million to…

16. Is My Lawyer Getting Greedy?

    Hello all. This is my first post on here. Looking forward to learning as much as I can from all of you and sharing my experiences. I was recently awarded 100% disability with SMC-S. I believe my lawyer wasn't satisfied with the outcome because the claim did not have any back pay. Meaning there was no payment to them. I understand that. Everyone wants to get paid for their work. It took 2 years of work and they received no payment. They filed for a HLR to raise my PTSD rating from a previously denied decision almost 3 years ago. I was rated 50% 3 years ago for PTSD and they're trying to argue that it should have been 70% so my rating would have been 100% over…
