Thanks for the responses, this helps me understand this better. I will do what the VSO is asking and see what happens!

Hello, I am currently 30% disabled for adjustment disorder with anxiety, I filed a supplemental claim for an increase with documents of past hospitals that I've been to (outside the VA) with my VSO 8 months ago and had the increase denied. Since then I decided to get help from the VA and I am seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist to have my issues addressed, and have a pretty thorough paper trail with the VA for the past 6 months, they are taking the route of treating me for PTSD. From what I understand all mental health issues are lumped together, but for some reason instead of filing another supplemental claim with the new VA records my VSO wants to file for PTSD separately to see if I can get an increase. Does anybody know why my VSO would want to take this route, instead of filing another supplemental claim for the increase? It is confusing to me that we are doing this. Thanks in advance.
