ptsd Can I Get P&t For 70% Ptsd Rating

[bionoce]

I'm rated at 70% but paid 100% TDIU for PTSD. How do I go about getting the P&T status. I submitted a private medical opinion that I'm permanently disabled but I guess it wasn't good enough for VA.

Ptsd is not P&T.

[bionoce]

How is that.

[bionoce]

Until the VA authorizes medical marijauna for a treatment option, I say it is P&T. They can keep their friggin pills. Bottom line.

At my VAMC they had a class on PTSD and said only 20% of people with PTSD never show improvement. People have gotten P and T on PTSD alone but the VA views it as a treatable (but permanent) condition.

[bionoce]

Yeah, the VA also views most veterans as non educated on their own health and wellness. I'll make my own determination on how I feel and what I experience on a daily basis, not them.

I've had 2 suicicide attempts, have no social life, no family contact, and can't work aound others without wanting to kill them. And the VA says I'm scheduled for a reduction in 2019. We'll see.
