Mine was done by VES outsourced by my home she's was new to the field they then tried to schedule it with her again for my AD called and rescheduled had to drive an hour from my home but it was worth it

Not that I have an income but I just want to verify that if I need to send the income form now that I'm P and T? Second question is I have s pending claim where the doc separated my symptoms from my TBI and PTSD just making sure I was 70 before they lumped it with PTSD and after that can't just drop my TBI down which my IU is based upon? I still don't understand if I'm allowed to try and do temp jobs because those are short and quick money for my famil but since my IU is based on my TBI residuals and the doctor said I was a libilty to all employers, is that considered a MH issues? I know it had PTSD lumped in with it but it was already at 70% by itself. I know it's Permanent and Total and just have to wait for anything to take in effect but I really did have a hardship and 2 kids. SSDI denied my first claim and I'm currently in the reconsideration appeal with this new P T I'm submitting to my attorney with the separation of the diagnosises I hope my slim chance just got better can't get any worse.

Sometimes even after you get paid they do a review of everything it happens I received 96k in retro and then it remained open until they did a review of everything.

And as much as I hate saying this and still hope to get better the 55 rule isn't accurate especially when you've had s sTBI and your 2 year old has a better memory.Every doctor told me you won't get better so I filed for P and T I'm not even 35. Like I said I filed for it on ebenefits for evidence i submitted another application and wrote exactly what I was filing for because of my TBI. They denied attorney filed a NOD they changed their mind. So now that my TBI is permanent and total I can't see how if they rate the other two they could possible decrease the TBI now. But until next week catch you on the flip side it's family time. 1800827knownothing says it weird it just says eligibility decision and nothing else...

I haven't found out if they will be separated the doctor separated them in his C&P report for me this C&P was scheduled by the VA I called to switch the doctors since you can ask to one time with a VES exam. The first doctor was the doctor who couldn't seperate my PTSD and TBI the first time I said xxxx that reschedule the next doctor was alittle older 50s said don't worry she's my coworker and new to the field I'll make sure your taken care of. All because I kept calling first to get it scheduled and again to reschedule. When I get the decision I'll post it and when I get a copy on paper of the C&P from my attorney I'll show to all.

Second appeal never left they RO they were preparing the SOC and changed their mind...Im now Permanent and Total paid at 100% with the first appeal at the BVA with ahardship at the VLJ and another intial FDC claim which I just finished my DBQ the doctor separated my TBI PTSD and Chronic AD. It's been a long 7 years but now some rest thank you All from this website I owe my whole claim to the answers I've gotten..!

Right now I have a combined rating of 70% for my PTSD and TBI. This doctor broke my dx down to symptoms for each Chronic Adjustment disorder depression and anxiety with frustration of concerns about my TBI. PTSD hyper vigilianve slee disturbances nightmares suspiciousness increased startled response reduced interest and motivation panic attacks and irribility. For my TBI reduced attention and reduced concentration with a horrible short term memory and auditory memory. Very interested to see how this one panes out. I already have two active appeals pending one with the VLJ and the other pending with the NOD. This C&P was done for my intial claim for chronic AD

Check historical claims to see if it is already finished sometimes it does that or call this number and ask (202) 530-9470.

Awesome thanks for the tool I meant to say thanks when I first saw this

From what I'm told the doctor separated my symptoms from my STBI and my 2 Mh diagnosis PTSD and my chronic AD. So I in theory I should get 2 ratings one for the physical part of my sTBI which he stated was caused by my ignition switch of my car defect and was also won in an appeal already. The PTSD exacerbated the AD which was caused by my terroristic threats... fingers crossed

I've been dx for both again last Monday he listed the symptoms between my SC STBI PTSD and my Chronic AD. 4B. FOR THE INDICATED LEVEL OF OCCUPATIONAL AND SOCIAL IMPAIRMENT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO DIFFERENTIATE WHAT PORTION OF THE OCCUPATIONAL AND SOCIAL IMPAIRMENT INDICATED ABOVE IS CAUSED BY EACH MENTAL DISORDER? He's not able to do this which leads me to believe they'll lump my PTSD/AD together he also stated my sTBI was due to a MVA manufacture defect nothing to do with my fear terroristic activity. Is it possible to get my PTSD seperate from my TBI and have my AD and PTSD lumped together and TBI seperate? I'm really nervous my IU was granted alresdy in Jan due to my TBI residuals which was already at 70% before they lumped in PTSD....

I read my DBQ he said he is able to differentiate between the mental DX by symptoms but not able to show but he's not able to differentiate the level impairment for occupational is due to my TBI or my MH diagnosis. Now the second sounds like they can lump together? He listed the symptoms for each seperate dx I thought I was going to be safe....

2006 moved back to PA from NC the same time inrecieved a video of my friends dieing moments in a hospital from an IED didn't adjust well to my new Mos was arrested a few times dx chronic adjustment order still around today 2007TBI was caused by a car manufacture defect won my appeal last year, PTSD was war related in 2009 this sounds like a timeline for a Appeal have dx for them all now as seperate ratings.

Well I have reading this past issue and. Now with the doctor telling me he is going to seperate my issues on his DBQ but with chronic adjustment disorder PTSD and my TBi

Sounds about right file it already FDC and submit this as evidence what if do

When it asks if the doctor can differentiate between mental diagnosises is that a good sign? I keep being told you can only have one MH rating which is why my PTSD/TBI are combined he said my chronic adjustment disorder is seperate, so what happens to my one rating?

Well there's a few doctors on here people will recommend might have to shell out a fortune but it's a quick way file FDC get and IMO submit in under a FDC. If they like what you sent they'll either grant it or put you in for another C&Pexam

Thanks I know it's easier said then done I'm used to them low balling me... but I will keep you all updated and soon I'll have a copy to post from my attorney

Thank you just confirmed with case management my C&P is in as direct service connected. By technically Chronic Adjustment disorder is another mental issue which I've already have residuals of a TBI and PTSD at 70%... she said it might increase it but not counting my sheep in my sheepless night. They said the same was it was at 70 before they threw in the PTSD...She said she would find out and to call on Friday seriously these guys are a blessing to us all and there's only 3 people there in this office. Sad how 3 people can help us so much at the VA yet the rest delay our claims... I'm still confused with how my TBI is a MH issue..

Is it possible for the doctor to say at a C&P this isn't a secondary item but a direct issue? I filed it for a secondary disability now Im just waiting for a denial based on it being opinionated as direct...

You were right he agreed said this was caused by service connection and nothing else just don't know how the VA will take it having a rating for residuals of a TBI/PTSD already

Thank you it looks good for as I can tell but sSA is another beast

So the exam went well and he said you definately meet the this the criteria for this disorder.But then he said I'm going to put its service connected and should be separate from your TBI/PTSD. Are they going to deny my claim now since I filed for this disorder as secondary due to my TBI/PTSD? I know they aren't going to just give me a new disability without a fight even though it was their doctor at the C&P that opined it should be separated and not considered secondary. Just concerned since I filed for secondary and they are picky as hell when everything has to be exactly their way...

Sorry for not being more specific call VES (877) 637-8387 if there's a request they'll see it and ask you about if your willing to travel up to 100 miles or less or open to weekends or whatever.

If you haven't gotten the letter just goggle them and call they will schedule it without the letter
