Question
kate7772
Looks like my husband's claim for PTSD will be denied. He was diagnosed in Jan. 2914 through VA. Their Psychologist and Psychiatrist concurred on the diagnosis. Has been receiving therapy through PTSD counselor at VA since diagnosis. Counselor says he is a "mess." Severe PTSD and major depressive disorder.
Now the examiner says my husband's problems are the result of his physical health (kidney disease) that was diagnosed two years ago. It's true that the ### really hit the fan at that time with PTSD symptoms becoming more severe. His counselor explained the reason for this is because he had to cut his work schedule to less than 1/2 time and has more time to dwell on things. Counselor said this is a common occurrence with PTSD.
The C&P results have not been posted on Myhealthevet yet; DAV rep gave us this info. I know we will need to wait for the official rating but looks like a long process is in front of us and my husband has very severe and worsening issues at work as a result of the symptoms.
Do you think contacting the VA secretary would help?
Thanks
Kate

Broncovet - you are on the money with your response! To further add on - you must get a second opinion from a VA doctor. For MH claims you can't enlist an outside doctor to give you the exam.

I recommend you choose between the following courses of action: 1. Wait and read the C and P exam for yourself and not depend upon a Veteran Service Officer interpretation as it may or may not be ac

Kate, Britton is right. Please don't give up. I know this process is difficult not only for your husband but for you as well. Unfortunately, the VA disability claims process is a slow stressful p
