Question
Johnny K.
I saw a "contract" Psychiatrist at VAMC C&P hearing for a non-combat PTSD Claim. He denied service connection but conceded my PTSD.
I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman attached to the 3rd MARDIV during Vietnam and was an Emergency Medical Technician at USMC Base, Camp Pendleton, after rotating home, for a period of about two years. VA has accepted my stressors but has denied my claim.
I just received notification for a DRO hearing on September, 12, 2007.
I have a representative from American Legion who is helping me and will accompany me to hearings.
I have four private Doctor opinions and one VA Staff Psychiatrist opinion which support my claim, and I attend VA group meetings twice a month for PTSD.
Please give me your opinions on what I can expect at the hearingand what else I can provide the DRO besides all of the records which I mentioned above.
Thanks, and Welcome Home!
