Question
Sgt eve
Hi, I have been out of the military for approx. 5 years and since then I have seen a "shrink" for depression/anxiety. Well he told me that I have "Post Traumatic Stress" and I needed to file this with VA. So I took his advice and did so. Also claiming the broken foot I got while doing some training and knee problems I still am battling with. I have all my medical records that state feet, knees and mental illness in there. I went to a VA Commision to help file my claim. Well he didn't put "Post Traumatic Stress" he put depression and anxiety (not sure if it matters). Few months after that I was scheduled to see VA Dr. for my feet. Nothing for mental health or knees. Then 3 months later (present) I am told that my file went "up" to be rated but then while that was happening "someone" decided that I needed to evaluated for mental illnes................um....hello....couldn't they have came to that conclusion about 6 months ago? :( But still nothing for my knees???? So now I wait for VA to contact me with an appointment date/time with mental illness dr. I spoke with the the VA commision helping with my claim and he pretty much said get ready to appeal? I just wanted to know what you all think. It's been 8 months since claim was received by VA? Should I request my C File from VA to make sure they got all my medical records that I sent in with application. I had at least 20 pages of them. Thanks so much for any help/advice you can provide.
