ptsd Why Would They Add This?

[63SIERRA]

I was checking ebennies on my wifes claims and they added "( adjustment disorder}. She already had put in for depression,16 months ago, and it was listed in the contentions, so we dont know who, added the adjustment disorder or why. also the claim recently moved to pending authorization of descison. If it all falls undet PTSD, why would they add that.

also we have an attorney checking into a tort suit for my son because he isnt 18 yet, I think its too late for my wife to file a tort claim, but possibly an 1151 claim,. We sent the pics of my son shortly after birth to the va. when we showed them to the DAV Arep, he was horrified.

Also they have not sent my wife for a CP exam for the depression, ony her ACNE claim.

She had been seeing a pysciatrist off and on at the va since around 2004. She cannot take depession meds as they give her really bad migranes. She still gets counselling though, and is at an appt today matter of fact.

also being she has been out of the arly for 17 years, I doubt adjustment disorder fits. if she hadnt adjusted by now, it aint happening. she is depressed, and they are trying to skate out of it. one good thing though, the depression claim is still showing on ebeeniies, so they didnt delete it .

I think your fight for the birth is with the military. However, since it happened within a year of discharge you have a case with the VA. Did you make a claim for your wife's disability within a year of discharge? I am thinking the earliest effective date. It is obvious your wife had a traumatic experience at the hands of a military doctor if I understand that she delivered at a military hospital.

The va can try and twist it however they want, I wont let them, the facts are, my wife was traumatized by the third world quality , violent, careless, birth suffered at the hands of the hospital that was obligated to deliver our son, because she was pregnant on active duty. They injured my son and my wife, and we will have to deal with it a lifetime. Mostly her, because ivbe been trying to keep a roof over our heads, the last 17 years, while dealing with my own service connnected disabilites which I was lowballed and still fighting them for fair comp. She has been depressed since the incedent and they will pay.

she delivered my son exactly one day after her official discharge. so its a gray area. as I said the hospital it happened at are known butchers. They didnt settle with a soldier recently for 6 million because they are doing great work.

Here how dumb we were, the PA who sewed my wife up, told both of us we should sue they hospital, because it was screwed up what they did/. I was still active duty, she has just got out, thats not where our minds were. 2 days later my mother passed away., So we were on emotional roller coasters. We did not yet know that he was damaged, they knew something was wrong but just said.. failure to thrive. They then referred us to a civillian hospital a couple weeks later and wash thier hands of us. The civillain hospital diagnosed autism spectrum disorder. Which is a catch all diagnosis.

Also I dont know who pulled adjustment disorder out of the hat, she has had no cp exam regarding mental ilnesses. Unless they called her doctor, or read doctors notes, that indicated that to be the diagnosis which I doubt. Unless the va has medical personell that can make diagnosis I had come to believe the raters could not make diagnosis. on the old medicine bottles of the meds they were prescribing her that gave her massive headaches and she had to stop taking, it said FOR DEPRESSION. not FOR adjustment disorder.

I can see why they are avoiding the PTSD (depression) diagnosis because that would in a way, mean that they are acknowledging the birth injury, if they acknowledge the birth injury, that opens the door to tort, and 1151. The VA is dirty. They are looking ahead. They have the pictures of my son, and are looking to deny. They are masters of deception, they are trying to distract from the true condition, and re label. To suit a denial or lowball rating. were not going for it. !!!

I might try and call her rep and see if we can find out who added the adjustment disorder, why and when.
