    I was just rated today 100 PTSD P&T I already was rated 60 for other conditions not related to PTSD and the rater without me filing for it granted me SMC S1 ..So if you have 100 plus 60 percent in multiple disabilities he should be good.. Btw how much is SMC S1 per month?

    I was granted at the BVA for Ptsd/Mst I My  sleep disorder (Rapid eye movement and acting out my nightmares ) breathing disorder was diagnosed at the Va and issued a CPAP machine by the Va. I had a Nexus/Imo with the rationale to support the opinion done from a Private mental health Doctor. The Bva remanded the sleep disorder and  required me to attend a Comp exam with a  General Doctor. I attended the exam only for the Doctor to tell me. She was not qualified to do the exam because she was not a mental health Doctor. She said the Va asked her if my sleep disorder was secondary to my already SC for Asthma. I had the Imo and nexus letter with me to show that its SC  to PTSD she refused to read. She completed the report and said not SC to Asthma.  I'm not sure why Asthma was even asked of the Comp exam doctor to opinion.

    1. What are my options 

    2. How is REM breathing disorder rated.

    3. I do think I also have sleep apnea although I did not experience  the event at the Va sleep study . Can I have a sleep study done at a private facility using my on insurance. Will Va accept if I'm  Diagnosed.

    Thank you

     

     

    Should I have been given a higher rating?

    The best part about this you have been SC. I am a MST survivor from 24 years ago i just got SC for PTSD/MST. Do not give up Please! That's what they want you to do.  Making sure you get what's entitled is not wasting your time. I think with the right Doctor IMO you MAYBE able to get a higher rating but it's hard to say because I need to see the Comp exam.

     

    Stay strong!
