Mh Professional
Today I saw my mental health professional and guy is good he told me that pain causes depression and that depression makes the pain worse. So i listened as we put a plan of action in place which call for physical activity and medication like prozac and tramadol. So i plan to try this and see what happens,aside from the fact that the VA is willing to treat my illness but is unwilling to compensate me for the same illness. Question How do i force them to give a MH C&P Exam.

Joint Service Records Research Center
I searched on this here and from what I read this is where unit records are stored. Can individuals contact them for unit records?

Getting Angry
i started my claim in october and it started moving quickly. i had an appt at the outpatient clinic and got some meds, then shortly after had a c&p exam. i knew when the exam was over it wasnt good. i felt like the guy didnt listen to me. sure enough i got a letter from the va and i was 30% sc. i was expecting 50. so in reading the summary the dr wrote i was a mechanic. i am far from a mechanic. he also wrote i only have problems when going to wal mart with my wife???? i have no clue where he got that. so i went and talked to a vso and he said it would be quicker and better if i filed for an increase but i needed to see the dr and have some notes made. so i made an ap…

ptsd Ptsd Appeal
Question, after being denied for PTSD.... An appeal was filed using a 10 page diagnosis ( using the proper layout as the VA requires ) from a Mental Health Provider that specializes in Veterans PTSD claims. Will the VA require another 35 minute C&P to overrule the 8 hours sessions with the MHP ? Will the VA take on the actual face of the claim using the MHP dianosis..... or do they wish another dog and pony show ?

ptsd Fallen And Having A Hard Time Getting Up
Well hey all. I have been assignedd to attend these weekly PTSD group meeting and its been really hard. Not really sure how I feel about it. My head is swimming and still having all sorts of dreams of being buried alive. Being stuck in a hole and waiting to exhaust myself to the point where I eventually just fall out and sleep. The MH docs gave me this exam and I got a 50. So as far as VA goes to me it really means nothing. I'm already TDIU P&T. At least now I am getting out the house but what chaos I have to go through. I have a new power chair and they screwed up with getting me the correct lift for my vehicle which is on its last leg. So I cant tote my chair aroun…

ptsd Cpt
I see a lot of people going through the CPT process now. Is this something that the VA wants to push out there for the PTSD vets? The counselor the vet center wants me to do this. I told him I submitted an NOD for my 50% PTSD and my denial for IU. Will not doing this hurt my NOD? I really don't want to go thru 12 weeks of more BS going over stuff I try to forget. I have my little world that seems to work for me and I think I am doing OK without doing this. Going to the MH department at the VA every month to review my meds and going to the vet center every 3 weeks is as much as I deal with. Bill

ptsd Chronic Pain And Ptsd
http://www.ptsd.va.gov/public/pages/pain-p...de-patients.asp I found this link on the VA web site. It also links to other information about PTSD. I was primarily researching PTSD and it's relation to chronic pain. With respect to those who have successful PTSD claims, is the information found on these pages useful or just a load of bs?

Outside A Recruiting Office The Other Day
I was waiting in the car for my kid to run into the store - it was in a plaza that also houses a local recruiting office. I was gazing at the cheery posters on the windows, thinking about the lies my recruiter told me when I saw a pretty young woman and an older woman get out of a car and head for the door. I'm guessing it was mother & daughter. It took every single bit of self control (and not a little anxiety about talking to people) to keep from calling out to them, stopping them from going inside that place. I wanted so, so, badly to tell that mother to stop, to tell her what her girl was considering and what she would likely experience. I wanted at least…
