Question
Melancholy_Sleestak
Hello, I have a C&P in a few weeks and have some questions. My claim has some problems. Any help would be appreciated. I filed for PTSD for personal assault for which I have no evidence and PTSD due to SCUD attacks in Saudi Arabia in 1991. I filed in 2009.
My VA psyche doctor diagnosed with Anxiety disorder Not Otherwise Specified
R/O PTSD especially as related to military sexual trauma
R/O Dysthymia
My previous private sector psychiatrist and Clinical Psychologist diagnosed me with PTSD, Generalized anxiety disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. It has been difficult for me to speak with this VA doctor, I'm not comfortable with him, but I have tried to be honest and tell him my symptoms and I believe what I have told him would lead him to diagnose PTSD.
With the new regulation in effect does it seem likely to anyone that he is avoiding PTSD as a diagnosis to derail my claim? I suspect this as he documented especially as related to military sexual trauma and that is not benefited by the new regulation. Will this be a big factor when I have my C&P or do they diagnose you there and then? Is there a way to remedy his diagnosis by appeal?
If I was to be granted a service connection for Anxiety Disorder Not Otherwise Specified or Generalized Anxiety Disorder versus PTSD will I maintain my effective date of when I filed the claim?
Does a C&P exam for PTSD usually involve taking the MMPI-2?
Thanks for any help
