Christypl reacted to vetquest in Denied for PTSD even though diagnosed and treated by the VA
That is what your C&P was supposed to be for. A private doctor cannot diagnosis your husband with PTSD, only a VA doctor can. I would appeal again and ask for a new C&P exam to take into account his recent treatment at the VA. If they grant the new C&P it should go better. If it does not document how long the exam takes and how the doctor behaved. If you appeal and cannot get a new C&P then I would appeal to the BVA. These appeals can take a while in the VA Hamster wheel though and I would not go there first.
You are not missing anything, this is just how the VA operates sometimes.
