ptsd C/p Exam

[mcso111]

I filed a claim on 8/20/08 based on what my V.A. counselor had told me, met with a psycharicist on thur 08/21/08 and she confirmed what the counselor had said, she diagnosed me with having PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, with Underlying depression, so I would say that I on my way to hopefully a positive result in my claim.

WOW, Thanks for all the reply's, I have told the V.A. how I really feel and it seems to have made them nervous because they are pushing me through to get in contact with people pretty quick, being that I am very depressed and thoughts of suicide keep running through my mind constantly, but I assure them that it is only thoughts and that I seriously believe that I would never take any kind of action because I have a loving wife and 2 small children (3,8mths), I am still currently in the inactive reserve but havent offically had a drill in 2 yrs or more, I have been trying to stay on top on this claims part and I watch jim strickland's website religously for any kind of info that is updated, my wife knows my symptoms and she thinks , i think, that I may be obsessing over the claims. I am working but it is in a stressful job being it is in law enforcement and I am at the top of my field, Chief, but I cant quit until I have constant income. I believe that the depression is the area that would be most significant area to cover. I know that I need to contact a few people and get some statements on my behalf that will come hopefully in the near future, All I can do is submit my info and hope for the best result if not appeal it and keep trying.
