I went for a C & P exam yesterday for stress/depression due to AO SC Lung cancer, DM11, nueropthy, back pain, sleep apena. The physc dotcor seemed great. Took about 2 hours and was very efficant and asked alot of questions. He was 74 years old, very alert, and really seemed to like Vets. He jokingly said I was in worse shape than him. I was expecting a hassle prior to seeing him but he was great. Anyway, he stated he was going to put me in for PTSD with P & T. He looked at my records and seen were I had purple heart from Viet Nam and asked me a couple of questions about stressors (was I shot at, did I see action, etc). He stated that with my medical conditions ang age of 59 nobody would hire me. Not being derogatory but being honest. He asked which would be better for me, P & T or IU. I told him I thought P & T would be better (?) than IU. I'm not sure but is P & T for PTSD 100%.?
Will recommend to rating board P & T. Does this mean auto 100% if board accepts his findings. He shook my hand twice, wish me luck and said he would recommend P & T for PTSD. Does this sound like a good chance.? Thanks
