A while back I posted that my claim for chronic pain syndrome had been denied due to the fact that pain was considered in my original rating for my hip and DDD in my back.
Question.....
If CPS/Pain Disorder is considered a mental health condition by the VA, how can they deny my claim for it when I have no mental health rating with VA????
I provided the VA with a letter from my shrink where he diagnosed me with Chronic Pain Syndrome under civi mental health, VA says it's pyrmiding due to the fact that I had painful range of motion... However, I have no mental health rating with the VA.
My local VA rep looked at the decision and said it muct have been a "rookie rater".
What say hadit??
This claim is going to be VERY INMPORTANT to me.
Also....
He stated that my chronic pain syndrome has accopanying depression and I"m sure he will ad anxiety and insomnia to it as well.. I have been diagnosed with an anxiety driven insomina by a sleep specialist....
Will the insomina be considered with the chronic pain claim, or is insomina not considered mental health.
I understand that you can only recieve one mental health claim.
