Question
Rome Drummer64
My SC claim is for Major Depression and I'm rated at 30%. I understand that with VA, they rate mental illness in increments of 20%. Since my last rating of 30% in 2009, I have been hospitalized once for suicidal thoughts, and have been to my local ER twice for anxiety attacks. I obtained copies of my C&P exam, in which the Psychologist gave me a GAF of 52, but he also stated that I'm not employable. I also have a brief statement from my VA Psychiatrist that also claims I am unemployable at this time. With 2 VA mental health experts saying that I'm not employable, I don't see how my increase could be denied. It doesn't make any sense at all. I hope that the decision packet isn't bad news. I'm already stressed enough as it is. Thanks for the advice on the DRO route. If my claim really has been denied, what is the process for getting a personal hearing with DRO? Is it any faster than a BVA? What can I do to help move the process along and obtain a favorable result? Thanks for the help.
