Question
vaf
Does the statute on inferred claims (5.8.2) apply just to claims for increase of ratings for disabilities? Or, does it also apply to claims that were previously denied, but then new and material evidence became available through a VA C & P exam for another psych condition (organic mental syndrome, a physical disability) that also indicated PTSD?
The GAF was 55, and the examiner gave the veteran copies of literature dealing with coping with PTSD. Yet, the examiner did not formally diagnose PTSD because the exam was not ordered to evaluate PTSD?
thanks!
