Question

Thanks for hearing me out. I know there is much discussion and debate on the term "personality disorder" being a reason for disability denial as result of C&Ps. Is there a way to 'correct' or deny this overused labeling term recieved from the C&P exams other than by getting a more clear diagnosis from an IMO or VA doctor? As I understand, many veterans are given this feedback and I am concerned that once given this feedback, it deters appeals based on deep personal insult.
Bascially I see this as the veteran, an adult, that is facing one, two or a myriad of psych disability issues gains another 'worry' with being told they "have or possible diagnosis of" personality disorder. Namely I feel it this says "this adult has been an oddball from the get go and just now got told they were born with it." Once the C&P responds with these "possible" results, there is no follow through care and the label is another ribbon to wear without a frog back. Have had this nagging unresolved "worry" for years,cg
