ptsd To Appeal Or Not To Appeal Mdd Denial

[surfhn]

On my VA notes from myhealthevet the Psychologist ammended her conclusions about a month after my C&P exam for PTSD. She noted that I had MDD and that my GAF score was 56. She also stated that my MDD was at least as likely as not contributable to military service. However I was denied the award for compensation and rating. I need some advise on wether or not I have an appeal. I am just confused because of what the doctor noted and the outcome of being denied. I did also have a seperate claim for depression. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Okay,

I think I will send a recosideration request to my VARO. Thank you all for your help and guidance!!!!!

You should have an IMO done as soon as possible. Have the doc review your c/p exams and write a letter on his findings. DO NOT send in a request for re-consideration without any documentation to support your request.

Once you have a letter then submit an NOD (VA FM 21-0958) attach the medical notes and send it in.

You also have to remember that the VA is doing away with the GAF scores on your evaluations.
