Hello all, first time poster, former looker from the outside, now registered
Ok here it goes...short as possible, I have 20%, 10%for tinnutis and 10%PFPS of Right knee. I was originally denied for hearing loss, tension headaches. In August of 05 I requested my case be reopened because of hearing loss: when I was intially seen for the hearing loss in 00 I had a PE tube in my ear and the va found that my hearing loss was within normal limits, since then the Pe tube has come out, and I can barely hear on one side. Also since the onset of my knee injury I have had moderate depression, though I was not treated while in the service, I was within one year treated by a family physician upon seperation. Just yesterday I went to my intial C&p Mental Health Clinic exam. The Psychologist diagonsed me as Depression Disorder. NOS, he went on to say that it is as likely to as it is not to be connected to my current ratings. QUESTION #1 -does this mean that it is, or is it not, I was under the impression that a decision llike this was to be in favor of the veteran. I still have the C&P scheduled parts for Audiology and ENT next month. QUESTION #2 once those are complete in January, how long approximately would I hear a final decision? THANKS All for any help you can give me!
