Reader19 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I was finally awarded 30% for PTSD on 09/11/12 after 2 years! This is a win for me! I also have a number of other claims that have been deferred and are in the Review of Evidence Phase. I will certainly search past postings to help prepare my NOD.

Notorious Kelly Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Nice milestone, Reader! Free prescriptions etc. Many of us won "gradually" over years. Good luck! Edited September 13, 2012 by Notorious Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reader19 - congrats but check the ratings and see if you feel you rate only 30%. The VA frequently lowballs claimants! jmo pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGeek46 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Congrats Reader19 I agree with Phillip Rogers the VA always tends to lowball rating on first go around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 14, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 14, 2012 Since the VA has already DX'ed you with PTSD all you need to do now is show by medical evidence that your PTSD is worse than a 30% rating. Best way to do that is with an IMO/IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
