Question
labonte1000
Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if I could get some advice here. I'm currenlty 20% disabled, 10 for hypertension and 10 for generlized anxiety disorder.
Anyways I got out of Service in September of 2006 and filed a cliam for anxiety and hypertension, in may I received the letter of rating for 20%, But since I got out of service my panic attacks and anxiety symptoms have increased, and It really hard to look for a job that I can do. Right now its getting hard for me to leave the house, let alone work due to panic/anxiety. I also have ed due to the anxiety/panic. Can that be added on to my anxiety claim?
Just wondering if I'm doing this right, I hired a Va lawyer to help me try to increase my Va letter from 20%. I just feel like I can't do any of the jobs out there due to my public anxiety/panic. I don't have any paperwork on it besides whats in my military record. Will that work? I just don't want to go on any medication, I was already there and took pills in the military for a while and they only made things worse. Will I get to be reseen by a Va doctor for my claim to show them all my present problems. Any info would help, thanks everyone. I just feel at this time my rating for anxiety should be more than 10%
