I have already gone the voc rehab route and they gave me a letter stating that I was not in medical condition to complete the program. I am going to get another opinion on the 10th, plus my VA doc wrote a letter explaining my unemployability from her previous diagnosis of MDD and PTSD with psycosis she states that I am unemployable and I am not to be around people. I'll scan both copies for posting once I find my Voc Rehab letter.

I just don't know what the next steps are... do I file another NOD or send in the Form 9 or is there a CUE and what form goes with which? I have checked all over this area and have not found a good VSO so all I am using is the state of Virginia's VSO and they are terrible to say the least. I wish to fight this myself all I need is education from the elders and I'll do the rest.

scan0001.pdf I hope this works!

Did the VA acknowledge this letter? Not yet she wrote the letter on March 3rd after she found out I was denied. Did she give a full medical rationale for her unemployability statement? She refered to her extensive medical evaluation stated the gaf of 44 and stated that she stands by her claim. The problem I have is a rogue psychiatrist that states that I am narcicistic with dsthymia (his evaluation was covieniently posted as part of the reason of denial)( he evaluated me in under 10 minutes on an emergency visit,and thats all the time he spent with me until my full appointment) So my psycologint wrote that I am unemployable. I am putting together my scanner so I can show my SOC and Increase letter. Are you claiming the PTSD as secondary to the MDD? Yes I am, I thought by putting GAD instead of PTSD it would be more acceptable as this is non combat PTSD I hope I didn't screw up there. I also placed a second claim in for PTSD 3 years ago and that was denied as well. And my one year decision on that one is up on March 9th. I guess what I am asking is wording on the VA Form 9 and should I send in the form with statements like duty to assist and benefit of doubt, as I had 3 doctors stating I have PTSD and the one doctor they decided to accept was the 10 minute evaluation by the one doctor. Or do I wait and send the new letter (by my VA doctor)with the evaluation I am getting on my own by another outside doctor.

I already had my c&p in october and so the va said that the c&p doc didn't state whether I could work or not so unemployability was denied. I also know that having mdd and ptsd is not allowed because of similar conditions but could the va rate me with ptsd if its higher. this has taken around 4-5 yrs and I am tired fighting.

I need some help with my form 9 but I don't know where or what to write. I have had 50% for migraines and just received 30% for MDD, in my SOC it states that I have PTSD but the IMO didn't state whether I was able to work or not so my TDIU was denied. The only thing I have done was to get a letter from my Phd doc and she wrote that i was unemployable due to a gaf of 44 and that I had MDD and PTSD with psycosis. I also scheduled an another IMO for march the 10th but if I don't need it I wouldnt mind not going. Any help would be appreciated as I am clueless on what to do. I can scan my soc and my increase letter but its alot of pages. Thank you in advance.~~~Fosk

I complained about not being able to see a thing on the 800 number e-benifits had as I had already signed up through myhealthevet for second level, how excited I was to find out e-benifits said it was the RO fault for not adding the information so I sent an IRIS and they said it was e-benifits fault.........I was sooooooo mad that I put my comlaint on the blog they just introduced for three days and finally someone answered my complaint and told me to wait a few days and they will make corrections for me and guess what....someone actually put my e-benefits page up finally showing all my information, it took a few months but, what gets me is that there are people with some sort of authority manning the blog posts and yes they got me straight.

Unless the VA provides someone full time to answer these blogs I don't see this going anywhere. If you notice there are many people writing and very little answers.

With the day so blustery around here now that Ida has come to visit, I thought to take the time and wish every veteran and family a happy holiday and well wishes for a speedy claims process. :)

800 number told me it finally went to ratings after 4 + years....so somebody did something, I hope!

I'd like to take a poll. How can this be done?

Maybe a 10 million vet march on a holiday.... Veterans day, Memorial day or the 4th of July. In this day and age the national media would be all ears if the generals sent tanks,as well as an angered population. I would like to meet all of you there, instead of us grumbelly'ing that it wouldn't work.... even if I had to stand alone, but, I'd rather be with my brothers and sisters. Just a thought for now!

Called my Congressional office and asked them to stop with the inquisition, the man on the other end asked why? I explained that many others have gone this way and all it did was delay claims processing and that it is pulled out of a stack and put last again. He promised me he will send a liason to check and see where it is in processing and if they can expidite my claim, and he said he will call me back by Tuesday the 10th. I told him I have a ssa hearing on the 24th and whatever decision is made I may need the information for an alltogether different claim.

Maybe a march on washington as well...lol. Waiting years and being patient is wearing thin on the old bones here.
