Question
Guest fedupinpa
I have been getting the Va run around for years, I filed a PTSD claim in 2002 and was denied, went through all steps, NOD, etc, end result denial and diagnosed with other diagnoses like anxiety disorder etc. I was Diagnosed with PTSD from civilian psychiatrist, was medicated and counselled.
Had another exam in 2005 and again in 2006 and once again they danced around it and called it anxiety, etc.
Anyway on 6/29/2010
I had an exam and here was the result
Axis I: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Recurrent, Moderate.
Axis II: No Diagnosis
Axis III: Various listed, I am only concerned with current right now
Axis IV: Relationship issues with family and supervisor at work, extreme discomfort interacting with other individuals, and ongoing poor quality of sleep that impacts her day to day functioning.
Axis V: GAF 51
Goes on explaining that GAF was determined diagnoses of PTSD alone, her diagnosis of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder alone, her diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder alone or all three in any combination. Goes on to state that he believes that all three diagnoses are the direct result of her military service in Iraq.
The entire exam is 7 pages long and he disects the other two exams through out the narrative implying through out that it should have been diagnosed as PTSD, he also stated during the exam that it should have been done a long time ago.
So my questions are:
What percentage could I possibly be looking at?
Should it be back dated to 2002 when I filed for the original claim? How will the date of the decision be determined?
Since a VA Psych finally diagnosed it in a comp and pension exam am I guarenteed a rating?
I thank you in advance for your time and help here. Great site.
