Which Way To Go?
I received a letter from the RO that I need to pick an option. Decision review officer or traditional appeal process. Which one is faster? Is the review officer the one where I'll sit down with someone from my local VSO?

tdiu C&p Scheduled For Individual Unemployability
They have scheduled me for an IU C&P. My last C&P was in November of 2010 and my GAF was a 30. Things have been worse since. I'm not sure why they can't just use treatment records. Should I be worried?

ptsd When Did Thing's Change?
I notice that on many day's I wanted to pull my hair out, I did not see a place on Hadit to express my anxiety that turn in to frustration and worry for PTSD. Hadit has treated me very well, am I in the right place to talk about my journey? Or is there another area for this?

Periodically Re-Evaluation
Hi all, I guess it is my time for more stress in my little world, I am still in treatment, never stop in five years, treatment is one of my only time I can smile, been with Vets I can relate to. Seen my Dr. On one and one scares me because of more PE, CPT, OR IN VIVO, recomendations, at the sametime is where I can get answers to my world. I have just learn to endure my avoidances to just immediate family one friend, plus Hadit. Now comes this, more stress is not welcome, what should I expect? Another C&P? This is just an update, I am at the eb and flow of the VA.

ptsd Can't Get In Contact With Social Worker
late 2011 I got awarded 80% total for ptsd and asthma. (70ptsd / 30asthma) My last appoint I had with my social worker was suppose to be over a month ago but I missed it. Last week and a half I called her extension five times and left voice mails 3 times. I know I haven't been in contact with her for around two months. Did I do something wrong and I can no longer see her because I went so long and missed an appointment? I feel like the VA is conspiring against me to take my rating away. I can't call and complain about her because then I think she or anyone else I see there will try their best to mess with my rating. What should I do?

ptsd Dro Review
Does anyone know the average wait time to get to a DRO Review appeal ? I requested one in November of 2008, after being denied for PTSD. The C&P examiner did not diagnose me with PTSD, but stated I have alcohol induced depression. Even after I had been diagnosed with PTSD by VA, and an outside Psychologist. I even completed the 8 week in-patient PTSD program in Biloxi, MI - and the Psychologist who ran the program wrote a statement explaining my stressors and symptoms. All was submitted in my claim as evidence. I feel, because at the initial C&P I presented the medical report from the outside Psychologist - just to make sure it was in my records, that I was give…

ptsd Question After Receiving Copy Of Ptsd C & P
How much weight does a C&P exam/report have in the overall rating by VA? - I do realize that is is not the only thing they consider. The reason I ask this is because the local VA mental health doctor/therapist that has been treating my husband did diagnose him with PTSD that conforms to DSM-IV criteria but not to the extreme (both in GAF Score and when it comes to Occupational and Social Impairment) that the C&P examiner did. Please understand I'm not complaining about the C&P report as I feel it is a more accurate representation of my husbands current (to this day)problems, having been married to him for over 20 years I knew him very well before and after …

Pstd Imo Letter -- Doctor Can't Write Decent Letter. Aleady Sunk $1000 Into This...
Hello all, First post here. I have a long story to start with that leads up to some simple questions... I am SC'd 30% for PTSD, but have filed a NOD. To bolster that NOD with new evidence, I am paying out of pocket for an Independent Medical Opinion (IMO). I chose a doctor than had experience with forensic psychology that had an impressive background based on my Internet research. Well, I converse with him back and forth through email a few times, told him I wanted to meet him for treatment, psychometrics, examinations, etc, then get a report for the VA as a result of our meeting. I asked if he was familiar with the right verbiage to "answer the mail" for the …
