Question
Patriot3g
Hey guys,
I've been lurking here for awhile, figured I'd join in on the discussion. Last year I did an FDC claim for PTSD, after going to see a VA Pysch for almost a year (at the insistance of my family). She diagnosed me with PTSD, and encouraged me to go thru with a claim.
On the 7th I had my C&P exam. The doctor didn't ask very much....just if I was single, and why, if I drank a lot, etc. When I got up to leave after he was done (like 10 minutes), he said that the VA asked him to answer two questions: Do I have PTSD, and did my service in OIF cause it. He said he felt I had it, and that service in Iraq was the cause.
I forgot to do my in person authentication for Healthevet, so I just mailed in the form. I was just wondering if anybody here has any idea on what I might recieve as a rating, before I get the C&P exam results (hopefully soon).
When I submitted my claim, they asked me to fill out a form
"STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF CLAIM FOR SERVICE CONNECTION FOR POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)"
so I filled out two of them, one for the Battle of Zarqa. And one for the killing of my squad leader. I figured these would be the best two to put in my file, since they can be easily verified as true (squad leader was kinda famous, Zarqa was a huge fight).
I have my notes from the doctor that used to talk to me, and what she put in my file seems pretty convincing about PTSD and my service, but I guess I'm just stressed/worried/scared shitless that the VA will lowball me and give me 0% or something. I honestly have the worst luck with anything!
Thanks.
