Question
oldman273
Hey I was wondering I just had a C/P for depression secondary to my SC back which I claimed a chronic pain issue are they all rated together or seperate? I am waiting to see what the raters will do. I am leary of the raters as most of the ones I have had ignore what surgeons and Doctors say and I believe that they (raters) will decide based on their opinion not my Doctors. Anyone got an idea? I just got off the phone with the VARO telling them that I was going out of state to find a place to live and I would not have acess to my PO Box should they send anything in the next two weeks. I have tried sending messages to VA within the system IRIS but I can never get one through. I am also writing a letter to them as well and asking for a signature upon receipt. I have heard way too many times a veteran gets the shaft when he never recivied the letter or hearing notice.
I got my C/P results back and the Mental health Doc put my GAF score at 50 but stated I had the ability to handle my own money. I do not know what the GAF score means I looked it up and again it is based on the raters. I am going ahead and move before the cold weather gets here this fall. It looks like Arizona or Texas just not sure yet.
Thanks have a good day
