the experts will be along, but i think they'll want to know if this social worker/psychiatrist duo are civilians (in which their evaluation is probably considered an IMO, independent medical opinion, i think is close to what it's called) which seems to be worded to carry strong weight when blended with VA psychs opinions (c&p)for a rating.

have you submitted a claim to va for a rating and va sent you to these psych docs?

was this part of a c&p, compensation and pension examination? in which it should be in the right channels to go to VARO, va regional office (?) for a rating

[out_here04]

oh, you found this in your medical records. was this after the recent psych visit you mentioned in another thread? was it with vamc, a va c&p exam, from imo (independent medical opinion?)psychs or is this something you got from old service medical records?

[sgmdae]

It is from the social worker assigned to me at a VA Clinic in Crownpoint, part of my Mental Health Team,

I also have a Psychiatrist, the social workers signs his name LCSW, this part of my file at this Clinic

I hope this a strong write up for my rater to see before he rates

[sgmdae]

I hope this adequate information to enhance my review by the rater

Has your PTSD stressor been confirmed yet?

Or if not yet- (they confirm the stressors at JSRRC)

have you given them details of the stressor as to time and place and any buddy statements or additional evidence they should have requested in the VCAA letter?

With the PH, CAR, or CIB on a DD 214-they almost always concede the stressor has occured.
