Question
usmcgirl
Having a diagnosis with PTSD the VA issued a social worker to work with me rather than a psychiatrist. Why? I don't know. But I have been seeing the social worker for the last few years on a weekly basis. Having filed a claim for increase since the PTSD is worse and been to the C & P, the psychiatrist there said that I have severe, chronic PTSD, directly related to the military with a GAF score of 47. Will the social workers notes be accounted for since they aren't an actual "doctor" per se but they are still connected and issued by the VA?
"A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve - is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The 'United States of America', for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'" (Author unknown)
