ptsd Award?

[usdart]

Has anyone gotten an award without a C&P exam for PTSD?

I am worried about my FDC..

Usdart,

I submitted an FDC in Sep 13 to increase my ratings along with my PTSD. I have not had a C&P for this FDC either. If there is enough evidence in your file and notes, the VA can rate Depression or PTSD. Good luck and keep us posted. When did you submit your FDC?

I think the VA will want to do a C&P exam for PTSD or any mental disorder.

I have one coming up for an increase in PTSD, HEARING, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART DIEASE this is because I file for IU. I did get a call from a VA contractor that the schedule is coming.

Thanks for all the.. support;

I am concerned because the only Evidence my Rep sent was the DD214 which shows Artillary assignments and Operation Rockcrusher (the incursion into Cambodia) participation in 1970 Nam. My VA Physycologist has diagnosed me with PTSD and SC'd to Operation Rockcrusher in my Medical File.

Is this enough evidence for PTSD?

Really worries me that I have NOT had a C&P an am 9 months into this FDC Claim.
