[Mental Health C&P, can you tell me if it'll be SC and rating?]

Looks like SC will be granted at 0-30%. Good luck and God Bless

[NEW C&P EXAM (need input)]

I agree with the guys above, looks like another condition will be SC at 0-30%. Glad to see you made it thru the exam though. Keep us posted and good luck.   God Bless

[Here we go again]

Thanks for the info, and sadly as usual same old crap, different year to come!!!

[Effects submitting all claims vs. separate]

Totally agree with the advice given above. I never wait around, just file all them, and get it out of the way. Good luck and God Bless

[im not sure what to ask?]

You will drive yourself crazy with Ebenefits. It is usually not that accurate especially around the holidays. Just enjoy your Christmas and you should receive the official paperwork in the next few weeks. Until then, all we can do is Speculate and that is not fair to you. Good luck my friend, and God Bless!!!

[Denied for PTSD and Depression after C&P examiner made diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder]

As already stated above, I am sorry for what you went thru. As you have already stated, there were a few steps that need to be redone. I always tell Vets, that #1 you have to make sure you Get Diagnosed and Treated thru the VA, then you dont have to fight the "Who is a Better Psych Doc, the VA or Civilian Lolly Pops".  Even though the Bipolar sounds bad to you, in the End really it is Helpful as the VA C&P Doc is admitting that you are Messed up and it is from your Time in Service. Good luck and keep us posted. God Bless

[Ebenefits Upload]

As stated above, I too have uploaded multiple Documents, and was never actually able to see them, but VA did confirm that they were received. Good luck and keep us posted

[auenone]

Sorry to hear of your issues bud. I had a few injuries and sicknesses in OIF/OEF, and a few of them were nowhere in my record. Luckily my Unit Doc at the time, was a Reservist and worked full time on the Marine One Helo as the Doc, so a letter from him meant a Thousand Words. Good luck and wish you the best. Hope you have a good Christmas.

Congrats on the Good News, and great way to Begin the next year. Good luck and keep us posted.

["Decide My Claim"]

Ok good on the button, now we will keep our fingers crossed.

[C & P Exam - Rater Asked For Another DBQ]

Hard to say, but in my case I had the VA C&P Doc state a few Diagnoses that were missed in original claim, therefore RO would either send me to another C&P for the new condition, or Have a Licensed Doc in that Specialty fill out a DBQ on their own, and send to the RO for rating purposes. Good luck and keep us posted. God Bless

[EBenefits not showing my claim???]

It just means that your claim has been Farmed out to a Different RO that maybe has a lighter Claim Load, so that your claim can slowly move again. Very common I helped a Vet recently from Los Angeles, and his Claim was completed by the Denver RO. Just means that someone is finally moving your claim along.

[EBenefits not showing my claim???]

Usually when this happens, either your claim has completed, or the RO has opened a new claim to combine to two to be worked. Good luck and keep us posted

[PTS C&P Exam Monday]

Welcome aboard and sorry to hear of your issues bud. Good luck and keep us posted. God Bless

[New]

You are not supposed to be working my friend. I only have 70% for PTSD, but that along with my TBI, I was found "Not able to handle my Finances and a Danger to Society" so I had to Resign as a Federal Agent. 100% for a Mental Condition, basically states that a Vet has Severe Mental Condition, unable to Function Properly in Society or the Work force, due to a Threat of Harm to oneself of others. Again, I am no expert, just my opinion, that only you can decide if working is worth the Benefits and Pension that you Receive. Good luck and keep us posted.

[Can we get travel pay?]

Yes, when I have gone to the Civilian Doc for the C&Ps, the VA always mails me a Check. 50 miles isnt too bad, my Exams are either 200 or 300 miles round trip. Thats what happens when you live in the Stix, Lol.

[asthma on seperation physical]

First off Welcome aboard and happy to see another Good Vet get on the Hadit Train.  You should file a VA claim as long as you were diagnosed, and continue to seek treatment. As far as a Medical Discharge, I seriously doubt it bud. Your wording states Onset of Asthma, not Chronic. If you are not currently getting health care at the VA, you should be. I have bad Asthma with black spots and scar tissue on my Lungs, yet I only get 10%. Good luck and keep us posted. God Bless and  hope you have a good Christmas.

["Decide My Claim"]

I did it on my last FDC, and did not make it move any faster. A few other Vets on here pushed the Button and it seemed to make their claim progress. Dont know what to tell you, except for good luck and God Bless bud.

[PTSD and being educated]

Sorry to hear of your hard times, but the Education should not have much effect on your Rating, as long as your Diagnoses is Documented and you are currently seeking treatment.  I actually did not have my HS when I joined the Navy. While in I got the diploma in 2006, and from 06-13 I got 2 Bachelors, Double Masters and was working on my Doctorate, while graduating Magna. Being smart or dedicated has nothing to do with PTSD. During that time I spent 3 months in a Mental Hospital and worked 2 part time jobs while being active, as I was  Geobachelor and had to keep my mind distracted.  Sorry for the rambling, basically as long as the symptoms and history of treatment is there you will be fine. I trully wish you the best my friend. Good luck and keep us posted, God Bless

[Letter for TDIU]

Hopefully you have a Civilian GI Doc, cause VA Docs do not like to write those letters. Really there is no specific format, other then Doc noting with your Diagnoses is, how it is being Treated, and why it affects you working and that it will not Improve or Be Cured in the future. 

[Gulf War Progress Ebennies!! Hmmm..]

It is really hard to say, but again I have helped a lot of Vets where their Conditions were granted SC without C&Ps. Plus remember that some conditions are easier to Medically Grant then others. Good luck and keep us posted

[OMG!!! Thank you all! 30 Day FDC!!!!]

Congrats on the Great news, and that has to be one of the fastest FDCs that I have ever seen. Good luck and God Bless!!

[Nexus Letter?]

Good luck with the claim, and thanks for the info

[VA started new claim after appeal filed?]

With out a letter or official documentation all we can do is speculate. I know this process is very stressful, but you just need to try to relax and see what happens.

[PTSD FROM COMBAT TO NON COMBAT]

That is normal bud, I have a ton of MH issues and they are rolled into 1 as 70% PTSD. Also my TBI is rated at 50% with my Migraines.
