Had my first appointment with the vet center counselor today and he says I have PTSD. He said I would need to see the VA mental health doctors for a diagnosis for a claim. Do I need to setup an appointment for a C&P exam or do they have a regular PTSD screening? I have filed an intent to file for my other issues in January 2016 so I only have until January to get my diagnosis and submit my claim.
I will be seeing the vet center counselor for treatment so should I setup a va appointment or wait for a C&P claim exam after submitting my fully developed claim? Thanks.

HIT the PTSD FDC E-BEN SEND BUTTON, NOW! You either DO or DON"T have PTSD, right. Some MH treatment or no MH treatment, really doesn't matter to the VA PTSD C & P Psychiatrist or Psychologist
