Dear Ms. Berta,
Thank You for your reply and insight, I value Your skills of perception and understanding of the VA system. The pdf files above are the C&Ps recently done at the Va outpatient center here in S. A.. The remand was from the BVA, addressing the issues and the need for the C&Ps' have been posted earlier this March. I believe Your statement to the 15 pages remanded by the BVA was; " Looks like many steak and lobster dinners in the future", or something to that effect. I wish I was better on the computer but, am forced to deal with learning all over again with a lot of daily issues... The Nexus is not an issue, as the service medical records reflect the TBI, addressed as severe post concussion syndrome, with symptoms of depression and ptsd.... Applied for PTSD, Major depressive disorder, and TBI.. in 1992, and was denied of course. Spent the last eight years at the VA being treated for the issues addressed in the remand, and the last three years the psychiatrist has been trying to turn all of this into a personality disorder. I know it is a hassle but, could you please readdress the remand and the C&Ps here for that data to help you further understand the claim and its peculiarities. I would truly appreciate the assistance and will be always thankful for it. Sincerely, Mark

C&P was done on 30 march 2016. Does any one know what this means? Examiner, concludes objective evidence on testing of mild impairment of memory, attention, concentration, or executive functions resulting in mild functional impairment. Concludes, judgement mildly impaired for complex or unfamiliar decisions, occasionally unable to identify, understand, and weigh the alternatives, understand the consequences of choices, and make a reasonable decision. Concludes, social interaction is routinely appropriate. Concludes orientation always oriented to person, time, place, and situation. Concludes, motor activity is normal. Concludes, visual spatial orientation is mildly impaired. Concludes subjective symptoms that do not interfere with work; instrumental activities of daily living; or work, family or other close relationships. Concludes, one or more neurobehavioral effects that interfere with workplace interaction or social interaction. Concludes normal communication and comprehension and written language. Concludes residual subjective symptoms or any mental, physical or neurological conditions or residuals attributable to a TBI. Concludes, mental disorder of ptsd, mdd, and tbi... Moca test results, -1,-1,-2,-1. Total Moca score; 25... Normal range 26 or greater.. Diagnosis: ICD code: Z87.820.. Date of Diagnosis, 1991. Can anyone figure this out?

I apologize Sir, my computer skills are weak at best.... My Attorney agrees with you, it also looks like Tbi, will be set at probably 30%, according to the exam. My attorney, is also looking into back pay from the date of 1992, date of initial claim..... Ptsd, adjustment disorder diagnosed one month after service separation at the Vet Center, here in SA.. Attorney states evidence was ignored and all claims were denied, please refer to the remand posted earlier this year..... This will explain a lot of the shabby job done by the VA, since that date..... 1992.....

Forgive the first effort, injuries have a way of making things difficult..... Twenty-four years of dealing with the VA, and the difficulties at hand ensure negative results..... These are the copies of a C and P recently done at the VA, and leaves me to doubt this system is capable of conducting themselves in an ethical manner. Enjoy the insanity, this veteran is tired of paying the piper; Eighteen Years were Enough !!!! (Remand posted earlier.) Still waiting to address attorney with the results of this remand and the Shabby, Disrespectful, and unethical way in which this Veteran has been treated at the VA hands......
Any comments or opinions would be greatly appreciated..... Mad man!!!!!

Thank You, Ms Berta and Mr RUREADY. I have the complete packet from SSA, concerning the award for SSDI for PTSD and MDD, would you both care to review it? I am not to good at computers, but will do my best to send a copy here once omitting the personal stuff. My attorney, has submitted that evidence to the VA, which is pretty strange they the VA claim they don't have. Please let me know if you want to read it and I will do my best to post it for the both of you, again thank you for the incouragement and best wishes.... Mark

Copy Sir, did not have any pre-service mental health issues. Issues did not arise until witnessing the death of a pilot I knew well in 1975, at Randolph Air Force Base.
Attorney, set up a mental illness examination with a doctor who worked for the BVA, in Washington. This was the straw that broke the VLJs' back as stated, " having a propensity of acquiring a personality disorder does not minimize that same propensity of PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder manifesting during well documented service stressors... Since this is now remanded back to the Houston regional office, how long will it take to reexamine, diagnose, and finish the claims for the above illustrated remand? Sincerely, Mark

This is the results of 25 years in combat with the VA, anyone have any thoughts, ideas, or opinions? Please share, Mark......

the regional office in Houston was unable to verify a personal assault, that resulted in a full blown concussion and drastic changes in personality and conduct six months after. the navy then discharged the veteran for high year tenure. one month post discharge the veteran was diagnosed with ptsd, and assistance was refused by the VA becaused the injury was not combat related. why will the VA not use its own regulations and laws to assist this veteran? which states clearly that in personal assault injury cases a stressor may be confirmed using this regulation, M21-1MR..... please advise
-
Yes Mam, This is understood. Yet, this documentation and all the other evidence of record, should provide the VARO with proof of non-combat related stressors.SSA and VBA are two completely different animals.
Just because SSA grants benefits for a specific disability
or list of conditions does not make it service connected with VBA.
VBA only relates to SC'd conditions.

In 1991, was assaulted on board my ship and left for dead. At this time I had just been selected for E-7, and had one more year until retirement. the head injury left me with a tbi/concussion, and a 180 degree change in performance and behavior. Six months later honorably separated from the navy for high year tenure. Was diagnosed w/ ptsd and depression in 1992, from the veterans center in san Antonio, one month after service separation. went to the VA outpatient hospital, was told to put in a claim. requested medical services for residuals effects from the concussion, and was denied assistance from the VA hospital because injuries were non-combat related. Ceased seeing any one else for 13 years, and used alcohol and pot to self medicate.. In 2007, due to inability to work, went back to the VA for help. was told to submit a claim, and received a VA id card. Tested for ptsd, results severe, chronic ptsd.... At this time started treatment for ptsd, and major depressive disorder, continued treatment for six years. In 2010, put in application for social security benefits at the request of my Va psychologist, he assisted me w/ six diagnostic summaries and a complete nexus letter, stating the personal assault in 1991, and near fatal electrocution and explosion in 1982. Are the specific stressors that caused the ptsd and major depression. Social Security disabled me 5 and a half weeks later for ptsd, and a copy of my C-file was all I submitted. Varo states they cannot verify the stressors, yet medical records and personnel files not only verify the injuries, but the changes in behavior and conduct after the injuries.....

She states, the lawyer, baby steps are what we are taking and forcing the RO to do thier jobs.. and I feel everything is on hold and placed in limbo....any advice?

My C&P, hahahaha
in Veterans Compensation & Pension Exams
Posted
C and P concludes service connection for ptsd, mdd, and tbi. Attorney states mental health issues are addressed as 70%.
TBI, C and P addressed at 30%, with confusing and contradicting write up, denied service connection for headaches and any residuals of the TBI, yet service connects TBI?
package sent to R.O. for rating.... How long does the rating part take to complete?
