have you had any surgeries to your feet. I'm hoping for 30%. I am the same way in that it hurts when I walk. When I get out of bed in the morning I think twice before setting my feet on the floor. Back hurts. Feels like my spine is compressed. Has anyone used a inversion table for their back?

I filed for pes planus. The doctor from the c&p exam made it clear that it was due to military service and that my feet are increasingly getting worse. It was reported my feet as moderate-severe. only being able to walk up to 1/4 mile. When is 10%, 20% or 30% given?

I requested a copy of my records last week. I'm hoping they will come fast seeing I am close to the records center. I am definetly going to file for the OCD. I was in treatment in California on a Marine Corps base. This is a inpatient addictions clinic for all active duty military services including retiree's. The doc/shrinks were military personnel with degree in addictions. When I was in the treatment center there was only two of us there for sexual addiction the rest were for drugs and alcohol. i guess they don't get to many sex addicts because they tried to prescribe me antabuse...the medication that makes people sick if they drink alcohol. Thank you all for the advice.

If I file for this can I also file for depression and anxiety attacks. Depression is my after effect from the OCD and when I am not able to get my addiction fulfilled I experience anxiety attacks. Will OCD, Anxiety attacks, and Depression be counted as 1 when I file or all seperate.

i was wondering if i should schedule an appointment with a shrink just to show a more recent observation of the problem.

Thank You for your reply. I do remember when I was in treament that the doctors labeled in my records that my sexual addiction was an obsessive compulsive disorder. I have not been seen by a doctor for this particular problem since that time but I have gone to a/a classes. Do I need to make an appointment for a Va shrink so I can get them to review my records.

I am going to request a copy of my full medical records. I have the copy that I made before I got out but it did not include a copy of the inpatient records which are keep at the inpatient counseling center. I was told by a DAV rep to wait until I get a decision about my pes planus and back injury which I was told is past the rater and in the last stage of a decision. I'm not sure how long it will before I find out an answer. Can anyone answer why if I filed for four issues they only scheduled C&P exams for 2 of them. How come VA is telling me more accurate information than my DAV rep?

Thank You for your help. I look on BVA but could not find anything. I did consider compulsive disorder

Does anyone know if sexual addiction is rateable. Was diagnosed for it in the military. Still suffering from it. I was in inpatient clinic while in the miliatary for it. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
