C&p For Ptsd (Tdiu) Tomorrow

Rate this question

Question

Iraq War Vet 2008-09. 2010-11

I am rated 70% for PTSD and was inferred IU. I sent in my IU form in April and my C&P for "PTSD review" is scheduled for tomorrow. I assume it's to either increase the PTSD or judge my case for IU.

I will give an update on how the C&P went and the general questions asked. I'll keep updating how fast the case moves after my C&P. My current status on Ebenefits is "Gathering evidence".

Good luck - tell them like it is.

Ok just returned from the C&P. It lasted about 10 min and was asked very general questions about my current living situation.

What do I do all day

What books do I read

What movies do I watch

What my relationship is like with my parents

If I currently have friends/ girlfriend

How often do I leave the house

That was pretty much the entire C&P. Then she said she would submit/mail this to the regional office that was requesting it.

I'll post when my Ebenefits moves. Soooo close to finished.

If your C&P was done at a VAMC - I would wait about a week and

then go back to that VAMC - to Release Of Information, with my ID

and sign the form to get a copy of it.

They might provide it on the spot or mail it to you.

JMHO

Last time they included the C&P notes in the final decision letter. I think I will just let it run its course and try not to worry about it. I am pretty sure they will either increase my PTSD to 100 or grant TDIU so I'm really not overly worried about the C&P results. I answered everything openly and honestly and I would be surprised if I don't get bumped up to the 100 rate. Retro should be dated back until Jan 2012 just like my 70% rating.

You are not working, correct? You are getting treatment at the VA and taking your meds. This is what they want to hear at least in early stages. You are being a "good" patient, right? See if you can get P&T via appeal if you have to go that way.

Haven't worked since I got out in Dec 2011. I see my therapist once a month to eval my meds and see how I'm doing. My current 70% rating says P&T on benefits explorer. I don't remember reading in my final award letter if I was P&T or not so I don't know what to think of the benefits explorer status. When this rating is decided I'm sure they will let me know about P&T. Unless they deny my IU or increase.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
