Got My Med Records...

Rate this question

Question

finally! i get to start my actual claim. looking over the records, i noticed at the time i reported the rape they even have documented in there that i was referred to MHC for ptsd. so, my question is....are mhc records separate from medical records? is that a specific request? if not, there is no record of me even being evaluated for it.

oh, and apparently them ordering me to AA was their explanation of alcohol rehab. i didnt go all the time and that is the reason i was put out. seriously? AA? come on now....that was just comical! it hurts none the less.

LOL! SO, what does "PRP" mean; is it a signature? Regardless, I don't think it's important. I had a service medical record notation of "anniversary reaction to a traumatic rape" --that helped my claim. Did you tell the C&P Examiner that document was in your C-File? It is in your C-File, right?! You'll be OK. ~Wings

PRP is something like personal readiness program. not sure of the exact translation. basically, if i was on narcotics or found unfit for duty, my PRP was denied. something along those lines....i havent filed my claim yet. i was waiting on my medical records. NOW i am going to file. i have group today so i am taking my records into my social worker for her to see first hand. my next appt with her isnt until the end of july. hoping this will speed it up. but yes, when i do get my claim in, u can bet ur bottom dollar that this will be in there!!!! right along with how they failed to do anything for me. im hoping this will get me a 100%. im sure that is unlikely but i can still hope!!!

Sharon, have you ever heard of a remarried widow ordering her deceased husbands mh records? thanks.

cg'up2009!

I have seen it done for medical and for historical reasons. The records are sanitized as not to defame the veteran.

Was your PRP denied, finding you "unfit for duty"?

Anyway,the rating percentage will be based on your current level of symptomology. Read te C.F.R. schedule for rating mental disorders. Your service-connection is based on the facts of having incurred the injury or disease or stressor event in the line of duty. Two separate issues. ~Wings

See CFR 4.130 Schedule of ratings--mental disorders. See also 4.129 Mental disorders due to traumatic stress;

All mental disorders fall under this rating schedule. ~Wings

persistent danger of hurting self or others;

intermittent inability to perform activities of

daily living (including maintenance of minimal

personal hygiene); disorientation to time or

place; memory loss for names of close relatives,

own occupation, or own name................ 100

Occupational and social impairment, with

deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school,

family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood, due

to such symptoms as: suicidal ideation;

obsessional rituals which interfere with routine

activities; speech intermittently illogical,

obscure, or irrelevant; near-continuous panic or

depression affecting the ability to function

independently, appropriately and effectively;

impaired impulse control (such as unprovoked

irritability with periods of violence); spatial

disorientation; neglect of personal appearance and

hygiene; difficulty in adapting to stressful

circumstances (including work or a worklike

setting); inability to establish and maintain

effective relationships.................. 70

Occupational and social impairment with reduced

reliability and productivity due to such symptoms

as: flattened affect; circumstantial,

circumlocutory, or stereotyped speech; panic

attacks more than once a week; difficulty in

understanding complex commands; impairment of

short- and long-term memory (e.g., retention of

only highly learned material, forgetting to

complete tasks); impaired judgment; impaired

abstract thinking; disturbances of motivation and

mood; difficulty in establishing and maintaining

effective work and social relationships..... 50

Occupational and social impairment with occasional

decrease in work efficiency and intermittent

periods of inability to perform occupational tasks

(although generally functioning satisfactorily,

with routine behavior, self-care, and conversation

normal), due to such symptoms as: depressed mood,

anxiety, suspiciousness, panic attacks (weekly or

less often), chronic sleep impairment, mild memory

loss (such as forgetting names, directions, recent

events)................................. 30

Occupational and social impairment due to mild or

transient symptoms which decrease work efficiency

and ability to perform occupational tasks only

during periods of significant stress, or; symptoms

controlled by continuous medication......... 10

symptoms are not severe enough either to interfere

with occupational and social functioning or to

require continuous medication............. 0%

im clearly a 70% according to this but who knows how they will rate me. and my prp was not denied until right before i was kicked out. and we have searched my records up and down and we r unable to find any follow up visists to mhc. they encouraged follow up for ptsd mx but never did anything about it. gee, imagine the military dropping the ball on treatment :( but, even after reading my records and seeing that i was clearly diagnosed ptsd, im not bitter now. its like i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. i can breathe now. almost relax....
