Question
texasvet
I'm new to this forum so I hope that I'm posting in the right area.
My C&P exam was recently completed and my PTSD was confirmed by the doc. The report says that the veteran's PTSD was "more likely than not" caused by the trauma I experienced.
I don't need to go into all of the details, but I've met all of the criteria of DSM-IV criteria A-F and basically everything under the criteria as far as "symptoms" goes was indicated. Also, diagnosis indicated 70% PTSD and 30% MDD and I've provided, what I consider, adequate documentation to support the diagnosis.
So, where does that leave me? Does the examiner at the VARO place all of his emphasis on the doc's C&P exam or does he look at all of the testing and doc's notes and render his/her opinion to determine whether compensation is due and at what level?

They generally take everything under consideration and then decide if it's service connected and how bad it is. They generally lowball on the rate they allow ya. PTSD is rated under code 9411. Look
