Question
soundtweak
I'll try to make this long story short. I just received my letter from the BVA. They granted me 30% SC for "anxiety disorder, not otherwise specified(claimed as PTSD)". My original claim is for PTSD and all of my stressors have been proven as well as my original diagnosis. The only problem is my most recent C&P from Mar. 08 had 14+ mistakes and inaccuracies from a doctor who has been reported to the "Patients Advocate" by numerous people. The BVA is basing my 5 years of appeals on this individual's "opinion". My PTSD claim would be effective to Jun 1997, however they want to "award" me SC-Anxiety Disorder effective Aug. 2003. Now my latest evaluation from another social worker claims I have "Anger Issues", and not PTSD. I get a different diagnosis from every VA "professional" I've encountered. Pretty much anger, anxiety, sleep disorders, nightmares, etc.....fit under the PTSD umbrella as far as I know.......
Should I take my case to the CAVC with legal representation other than my DAV rep. whom I have only talked to once in 4 years? I know the service officers are busy and I don't want to take credit away from the work they do, but I feel I can represent myself better than I have been represented. Is the CAVC worth the trouble?
Thanks for your help folks!
