No,the first time i was denied was 15 years ago,they never gave rational for there denial. but i just got a c+p in dec.Shot down 30 days later,i have an attorney this time though.there reasoning for shooting me down this time was that it was not new evidence,but my attorney put in a nod stating ,of course it's new evidence,the va sent me to a c+p and even the dr stated that the personality disorder in 1981 while in service was an incorrect diagnosis,and that there was an initial admission into camp lejeune hospital stated schizofrenia, the dr at the time told me in private,i think your mental illness is service connected but in order to substantiate to washington dc i want you to take lithium,it will be easier for me to service connect you,i was to scared of what was in pill,i declined so it was easy for the board at the time to give me general discharge with non compensatable disorder.BIG MISTAKE I MADE.Hopefully before i die i will get this thing.Thanks Hoppy.

I DID NOT GET INTO TROUBLE.I DID NOT SEEK VA HELP FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS AFTER SERVICE. WHEN I GOT MY C+P EXAM IN DECEMBER THE DOCTOR WROTE THAT HER OPINION WAS: VETERANS AXIS 1 DIAGNOSIS IS CONSISTENT WITH SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER WHICH WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED (AS PER DOCUMENTS IN SERVICE FILES ) WHILE VET WAS IN SERVICE. AS A RESULT OF THE PRESENSE OF AN AXIS 1 DISORDER,THE DIAGNOSIS OF A PERSONALITY DISORDER IS THEREFORE NOT APPROPRIATE. IS THERE TOTAL OCCUPATIONAL+ SOCIAL IMPAIRMENT DUE TO MENTAL DISORDER SIGNS + SYMPTOMS? SHE STATED ,YES. SHE THEN STATED THAT I WAS RECIEVING SSD FOR SCHISOAFFECTIVE DISORDER FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 YEARS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ADVISE???? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

MY C+P EXAMINER DID NOT MENTION SPECIFICS,BUT SHE SAW THAT MY ADMISSION PAPERS INTO PSYCHIATRIC WARD IN CAMP LEJEUNE STATES,HE IS BEING ADMITTED INTO OUR HOSPITAL WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF" SCHIZOPHRENIA" THE WORD SYCHIZOPHRENIA WAS IN CAPITAL LETTERS WHILE EVERY OTHER WORD IN DOCUMENT WAS IN SMALL LETTERS,BUT BECAUSE I REFUSED MEDS AT THE TIME THEY MADE THERE FINAL DIAGNOSIS OF BORDERLINE PERS DISORDER.HOW CONVENIENT FOR THEM. NOT TAKING THE MEDS WHILE SPENDING 6 WEEKS IN THE WARD WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I HAVE A TWENTY YEAR HISTORY OF RECORDS FROM VA HOSPITAL,14 HOSPITALIZATIONS=ALL FOR SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER AND THE MEDS THE WHOLE TIME. MY DR NOW SAYS SHE READ THE C+P EXAM AND WAS SURPRISED THAT I WAS NOT SC'D .MY PRESENT DR SAYS SHE WILL TRY TO HELP BUT SHE TOLD ME THGAT SHE WAS TOLD BY HER SUPERIOR NOT TO USE THE PROPER TERMINOLOGY THAT WE ALL SEEK.THEY CAN SKATE AROUND IT BUT WITHOUT THE SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY"MORE THAN LIKELY SERVICE CONNECTED""AS LIKELY AS NOT SC'D" THE VA FINDS A WAY TO THROW AWAY IT'S VETS.THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY,

SHE STATED IN HER C+P EXAM THAT MY SCHIZOPHRENIA/SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED IN THE SERVICE AS PER THE SERVICE MEDICAL RECORDS.THEREFORE THE PERSONALITY DISORDER THAT THEY POSTED IN MY SEPERATION PAGES WAS INAPPROPRIATE( THIS IS THE VA C+P EXAMINER STATEING THIS)I WAS DENIED IT IS GOING TO DRO SOON,DO I HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON ACCORDING TO THE C+P EXAMINERS OWN REPORT,I WAS OFFERED SERVICE CONNECTION FROM PSYCH DRS IN USMC ON THE GROUNDS I TOOK MEDS.I REFUSED MEDS,YOUNG+STUPID.SO THEY PUT ME DOWN AS PERS DISORDER=NON COMPENSATIONAL.THANKS FOR FEEDBACK
