Question
Alb
I was service connected for PTSD, it was noted at my C&P that I was not in regular outpatient treatment sessions and no inpatient treatment program. This was noted to be recommended and beneficial by the C&P examiner so the residuals of my condition, may improve with regular therapy. Since there is likelihood of improvement, the assigned is not considered permanent and subject to future review examination. My question is*** can group therapy in this case be mandated or can I just attend my personal sessions with my psychologist. Can the C&P examiner reduce my rate if I do not attend group therapy or inpatient program that was recommened? I have gone to the group sessions and all it has done is make my symptoms worse. I cannot bare to reopen the wound everytime I go and talk about my PTSD issues. It hurts too much to bring up the past. It makes my PTSD worse. What can I tell the C&P examiner next time I go. Is there a way now I can request P&T with only going to group therapy for about 4 months, or do I just wait till the next C&P?
