Hello everyone, This past July I testified in front of a BVA judge on an appeal from 2015. I just received notification that the judge granted my appeal for SC for PTSD, depression, and anxiety. He ruled that the examiner’s report was inadequate, but I also provided many IME opinions and VA provider notes that contradicted the VA exam. Although the examiner did not SC me, he did provide a diagnosis of PTSD, depression and anxiety at the 10% level. Now my question is, how will VBA rate me? Will they go through the multitude of VA notes from the previous four years while I have been on appeal to assign a rating? I go to the VA for treatment no less than monthly for my MH issues. Will I have to undergo another VA exam since the first one was deemed inadequate by the judge? I’m so worried about it because having to re-hash the details again is not something I want to do. Plus, my symptoms are way worse than a10% rating. I am afraid of getting low-balled and ending up in appeal again. Is there anything I can do in the meantime besides going to all my VA MH appointments? Will the rater look at the most recent notes? Thank you in advance for any insight.
