Question
52d
I have been going to the VA, have a psychiatrist there and also a counselor at the VetCenter. I never thought I had PTSD and never really considered it. I was very ignorant about the whole thing. Last week I got a copy of my MH records and the have me diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. My records show:
Medical Problems:
MHTC Dr. ...., MH TEAM (ICD-9-CM 799.9)
PTSD (ICD-9-CM 309.81)
Health Examination of Defined Subpopulations (ICD-9-CM V70.5)
Arthralgia (ICD-9-CM 719.40)
Male ED (ICD-9-CM 302.72)
Depressive Disorder NOS (ICD-9-CM 311.)
Other Malaise and Fatigue (ICD-9-CM 780.79)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (ICD-9-CM 564.1)
Dyslipidemia (ICD-9-CM 272.4)
Costochondritis (ICD-9-CM 733.6)
Dizziness (ICD-9-CM 780.4)
Pain in joint involving ankle and foot (ICD-9-CM 719.47)
Low Back Pain (ICD-9-CM 724.2)
DSM-IV-TR MULTIAXIAL DIAGNOSES:
AXIS I : PTSD, MDD
AXIS II : Deffered
AXIS III: See active problem list
AXIS IV: Relationship
AXIS V : GAF= 60 another visit showed a GAF=55
Right now I am 20% disable 10% for my back and 10% for my ankle. I am a Desert Storm Veteran and have already taken the GW registry exam.
I went to a VSO and she started paperwork for aFDC and i still have it she told me that it is dated from that date. If I do my claims on ebenefits will my date change?
I am planning to file for ibs and cfs for gulf war undiagnosed illnesses, can i also file for althralgia, and costochondritis?
If these problems are in my records is the VA signing off that I have them and should be compensated?
Is it better to do a FDC
Thanks in advance!
