Question
sandboxvet
Hello all, dealing with the BVA from Germany without representation is tuff! I'm rated at 50 percent for PTSD and the BVA certified my case in January 2008 for an increase. I have a few questions:
1. My case was remanded to the Pittsburgh RO last year because my former attorney insisted on having a hearing. After cutting ties I informed the RO
that I no longer wanted a hearing and that I would need some time to submit final medical evidence. I've now been hospitalized
since January and diagnosed with multiple disorders (C-PTSD, Bipolar, BPD) and want to submit a final statement from my doctor. My
PTSD is service connected due to service in Iraq through medical evidence and witness statements. Would it be beneficial to bring up childhood trauma
in this claim or should my doctor only focus on Iraq til present?
2. Since 2007 I've worked not more than a few months and have been hospitalized for PTSD 4 times. Is it possible that the BVA would grant me TDIU also if
requested?
3. Will the BVA consider the Bipolar and BPD and rate them together with PTSD or make me file a new claim?
Sorry about the multiple questions. I'm under the gun at the moment and have very limited internet access. Thanks to those that respond.
