ptsd C&p Examination

[tanker31]

I have been helping a vet with his claim. He had his C&P Eximanitation ( for PTSD ) 63 days ago. We did request and received a copy of same about 30 days ago. It seems to be strong in his favor, but as we all know " you never know " what the decision is until you have it in writing. The vet is in real bad shape, physicaly, emotionaly,and financialy. Iam doing my best to keep him from going over the deep end with words of encouragement, but feel like he is losing it. Can any body advise if there is a " NORMAL " time period after the C&P exam, that one can expect a determination( decision ) letter/award. Is there any way to push the decision process, being that the vet has had his C&P exam over 60 days ago?

All thought/suggestions are welcome.

Thanks to all,

if I remember right I had my C&P exam last Feb and got a check in April about 2 or 2 1/2 months calling and bugging them is not going to speed them up, waiting is always the hardest part, just don;t let him get psyched up for the brass ring he may get the lug nut.........

The last Vet I helped with PTSD had his C&P Sept 05 and he received his first check Feb 06. He got 30%. It should be higher but he isn't up the fight right now. Of course every claim has a diffrent time frame. Sorta depends on where the claim is filed. Long story short, it takes too dam long no matter where you are from. Good Luck! Terry Sturgis
