Question
nanaeris
I was denied depression as secondary to my service-connected knee disability. Although the C&P doctor stated my condition excertabated my depression. The Rating Specialist stated the doctor said I had depression before I had severe pain. In my NOD I stated I had pain while in the military and had pain every since. So when did I developed depression, before the military? The DRO agreed with the Rating specialist and denied my claim again. My question is if I ask the RO how the C&P doctor came up with that conclusion are they required to give me an answer? Also I had a psych evaluation in 2000 although the doctor had excess to my VA mental health record and came to the conclusion that my depression was caused by my physical pain the DRO stated the Doctor opinion did not count because she didn't have excess to my military medical records. Does this make sense? Any suggestion
