Though this is not what you want to hear, wait. Plan your appeal if necessary. But do not try and appeal the decision before it is rendered. Get medical evidence from your doctor. In the meantime get in touch with the VET Center. You will be able to get treatment on a weely basis. MEDICAL evidence will win out in the end. Good Luck!

Hello all,

Name here is William and I found this forum the other day and have already found a great amount of useful info. I placed an initial claim for compensation back in August of 2010. I saw the link today on how one can get a copy of their C&P Exam Results and by the looks of things thus far I would guess that getting visibly ticked off and having words with your QTC Examiner for PTSD was not a good idea.

I am truly amazed at the amount of inaccuracies in the report and, well just to be honest, lies. I thought these people were professionals and could understand that uncontroled outbursts of anger and such were actually things that we can't help when we get aggravated. So when I originally finished the C&P Exam I was advised on another forum that you probably did not hurt yourself..... Yes I did.

After the first Gulf War I did excellent for 6 month or a year. I mean Honor Graduate in schools, 299 out of possible 300 on the E-5 Promotion Board, etc... but after that I started getting depressed, drinking, getting into fights and trouble in the service and was eventually allowed to just go home Honorably. I tried to get my life back together and got my drinking under control for the most part. All this was explained in my claims and in person to the examiner but in the end she listed:

Axis I: Alcohol Abuse

Axis II: Diagnosis Deferred

Axis III: HLD; HTN (What ever that is?)

Axis IV: Unemployed: Financial Stress

Axis V: GAF Score 72

:The diagnosis of PTSD was not made.

So advise to all. Make sure and keep your anger issues under control when going in to a QTC Exam for PTSD.

Welcome aboard, 'wdroberson'.
