ptsd Preparing For The Worst

[Angelo Hurtado]

I am currently 80% rated and have a claim that is "being finalized" as per the 1800 number..it came out of rating feb 10th. it was a claim for ptsd, a request for increase and IU... ive been out of service for a year and some change..im expecting a denial on the claim (dont know why, just the way i am) so im wonder what would be the best route to combat this? all recommendations are greatly appreciated

When the VA schedules you for a C&P exam it is best to just go to it. They are apt to take any questions or requests for changes as an excuse to just rate you without the exam and you have a good chance of a denial. Twice the VA has denied claims for me due to their own changes in a scheduled C&P exam. It is as if they are looking for a chance to say you did not cooperate with the exam.
