[Exams Orderd Timeline To Exam]

In mid 2014 the national average was 24 days.

My experience has been 30 days or less, for most of the Veterans that I work with.

You can upload documents via VONAPP (found through eBenefits).

If you are using a Service Organization, you should contact the NSO office at your VA Regional Office and ask them where to send. Most Service Organizations still want correspondence to go through them.

[Bilateral Rating Or Not?]

silverdollar22,

They probably have already figured in the bilateral factors. I can't recall ever seeing bilateral factors discussed in a rating decision that is sent to the Veteran.

The best way to confirm that they were applied is to get a copy of you Rating Decision Code Sheet. Send a 21-4138 requesting a copy or if you are using a VSO that has VA computer access, the VSO should be able to print one for you.

[Hearing Loss And Tinnitus]

jimshoe52,

Could you please post what Series, Rating and Job Title are listed on your Discharge.

Also, I see that you have your Service Treatment Records; but do you have your Official Military Personnel File? Your entrance and exit physicals are normal located in the OMPF.

[C&p Results Don't Look Good.]

Kate,

Do you have any later MH treatment records from the CBOC. The June records don't have an official diagnosis of PTSD.

If you have any of the later treatment records (June - October), could you look for something like this:

• Axis I: All psychological diagnostic categories except mental retardation and personality disorder

• Axis II: Personality disorders and mental retardation

• Axis III: General medical condition; acute medical conditions and physical disorders

• Axis IV: Psychosocial and environmental factors contributing to the disorder

• Axis V: Global Assessment of Functioning or Children’s Global Assessment Scale for children and teens under the age of 18

If you do please post what it says after, Axis I

[C&p Results Don't Look Good.]

Kate,

I just read the treatment record that you posted ( ). I see the date is June of 2014.

I'm curious, when did he start MH treatment at the CBOC? Was the June appointment his first? Has he had any appointments since?
