Whats Next? Help

[WaStvet]

Hi all

Im new here and I'll try and keep it short. So last week I gave my rep my stress letter to send in along w another letter describing how ptsd affects me.. I did 3 tours in iraq in my 4 yr enlistment and I have all sorts of anger issues and. Basically most of the ptsd symptoms. Anyway so my question was whats next? & another thing if any vets from Washington State could give me some insight as to how vet friendly this state is id appreciate it. Ive also had my C&P a couple weeks ago.

You need to get a copy of the C & P results from the VAMC where the C & P exam was done.

It will give you a heads up on what to expect.

You can cover your name, C file number, scan it and attach it here under the attach button for opinions and input from us.

We have the new 2010 PTSD regulations here in our PTSD forum.

You need a VA MH diagnosis ( that will be covered in the C & P exam results) and also your service must fall into the 'fear of hostile activity" criteria in the regulation.

Berta I called the QTC clinic and the gentleman told me id have to request that report the psychologist wrote from the VA.. any ideas on where to start "digging"

Berta, is right, if you get us the C&P report, we can give you a better educational guess as to what you might get.

Thanks to both of you.. I called the office and said I had to get it from the VA? Any tips on who to ask? Because the clinic was some contracted personnel.

Contact both the hospital Release of Information office and your VARO requesting a copy.

It can take awhile to get.

When posting results here be sure to omit any personally-identifiable info such as name, file # etc.

Good luck!
