C&P Exam interpretation
R3dneck replied to USMCVET05's question in PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Claims
This doesn’t look good for you. Definitely don’t expect any increase from it. The last of the report will give you an idea what to expect. -

R3dneck replied to R3dneck's question in PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Claims
I did try to get morning reports and was sent a letter back that there were none. Can’t remember exact wording. I’ll try to find it and let you view it. You see an issue with diagnosis or what with the claim? I have the diagnosis from a VA psychologist and have been doing treatment since 2013. They (VA Psychiatrist) have me on several medications plus they give me drug tests every time I go to BH. Never had a dirty test in my life so maybe it’s protocol. I had a bad c&p for PTSD but he didn’t have access to my files nor did he acknowledge my diagnosis from my psychologist. I don’t know I’m at a loss here. I’m tired of the wear, tear and worry this has added to my family and me. Thanks Berta your advice will always be respected. -

It’s a big read but your views and advice are important to me. My attorney says to wait after c&p’s are complete if any but it’s always been a waiting game with them. I feel like they need to be a bit more proactive with this. Thanks. -

Could be an approval and a denial but until you get the award letter or confirmation from your VSO we can only speculate.

Call from D.C
R3dneck replied to vet90's question in Appealing Your Veterans Compensation Disability Claims NOD, DRO, BVA, USCAVC
Congratulations. So it sounds like you were 30% increased to 60% on the two disabilities so figure up the 30% pay difference back to 2009. -
That was quick I hope it goes well for you.

NOD, DRO Review
R3dneck replied to EODCMC's question in Appealing Your Veterans Compensation Disability Claims NOD, DRO, BVA, USCAVC
Have copies of your evidence with you in case there's something they don't have on file. It's all going to be based on the evidence on hand and in file. The DRO is going to ask questions about certain evidence and you'll have your chance to ask questions if you do choose to. Dress comfortable and appropriate for the setting. -
Claim Complete, Went from 60% to 90% now

No problem and good luck. -
Claim Complete, Went from 60% to 90% now
R3dneck replied to sandiegonavyvet's topic in Success Stories
Hooray!! They will send you a form to appeal what they denied. You could try to do a reconsider but that could take months for an answer which would ultimately delay filing for an appeal if it's denied again. -
No the VA doctor is NOT required to fill one out. If he wants one filled out he is more likely to get one from an outside doctor that specializes in the particular field. This will however cost out of pocket to most vets. I'd call around to local doctors if this is a valid option for the vet. Good luck

hearing loss NOD Question
R3dneck replied to Jed58's question in Appealing Your Veterans Compensation Disability Claims NOD, DRO, BVA, USCAVC
Jed58 your at a point you need to look into getting a VSO to look at this and help you. I don't think an attorney will be beneficial yet or even if one will take you on yet with little/no backpay. With this being said whatever you do Don't accuse VRO's of anything ever. Beat them at their lack of experience (we can safely call it that) with evidence from your records. Start with the VSO is my advice bud then he/she can get you going in the right direction.
