Applied for PTSD IU in Nov. 2010 . Got the good news 3-31-2011 PTSD IU P&T with no new Appointments. Looks good. I just keep going to Vet Center and Doctors Appointments till I die, which I hope will be a long long time.

Called VA about my PTSD IU claim they said a decision has been made but couldn't tell me what it was. I would havt to wait a month or so to get answer. Why is this. Thanks

This is a followup to prior question. I had my final C&P exam a couple of weeks ago. Phychlogist stated she recomended P&T and and agrees that I should be PTSD IU or better. Before this exam I was rated 50% ptsd, 80% total. I know the regional office has all the info. they asked for. How long should it take for them to finish the process and send final answer to this claim. I recieved letter from VA yesterday that my claim was still being processed. I have been out of work since Nov. 21,2010 on recomendation of my private phychiatrist. I am now working with DAV, don't know how thats going to pan out. THANKS

I had my C&P exam and thing seem to have gone well, Doc. stated that she put in my report as P&T plus some other info in my favor. This exam was for PTSD IU . I have been in treatment for 1 year plus. What are my chances at this point? THANKS

Second and hopefully final C&P exam with QTC phycologist. Stated she was putting in my report P&T plus some othe important info. , should VA finally rate me as 100% or PTSD IU 100%? Thanks

Saw phycholgist today for PTSD followup with QTC for VA. She stated that she was putting that I am P&T plus some other info should this mean I've finally reached 100%

Thank you for your input, I have been diagnosed with PTSD by both a private phychiatrist and a VA phychologist 50%bPTSD 80 total. Just didn't fully undestant the process. I am not concerned about the interview, I think I know what to exspect. My first c&p exam didn't go as well as I had hoped,my fault, I just wasn't as prepared as I should have been,same for SS disability exam. It's a work in progress , I think this will get me where I belong since I can no longer work. Thanks again , Doc Kelly

I have applied for PTSD IU. I have send VA all the required paper work including statement from private phychiatrist stating that she recomended that I stop working and I did. VA phychologist agrees that I should not work. Got letter from VA that I have an appointment with QTC Phychologist for eval.or something. I meet all the rquirments for PTSD IU 50% PTSD, 80% total is this appoitment a good or bad thing.

Anxiety at work is related to PTSD from veitnam war. This info is availble to VA.

I am presently rceiving 80% disability with 50 % PTSD. My VA phychlogist recomends that I should not be working. I went to a Private Phychiatrist and she wrote a report recomending that I not work. I sent in the proper paper work to the VA along with report from Doctor. Also my therapist at the Vet center is in agreement. I have been woking as a Lic. Opticiam for 37 years but now work has become a stressor . I have extreme anxiety at work that makes work too difficult. Medication helps only slightlly. Upon the Doctors recommendation I quit work and am now just waiting for VA response. Just wanted to opinion as to my chances for 100% PTSD IU. Thanks, Doc Kelly
