ptsd Mdd/ptsd C&p In The Morning

[coastie72]

Well the time has arrived, I have a C&P in the morning and I assume that since almost nothing of my PTSD claim has been discussed with my MH Psych or Social worker that they are looking at the MDD. I will take what evidence I have pertaining to the PTSD claim just in case. All I can do now is be honest and hope for the best.

Wish me luck.

Coastie: Pretty much agree with everybody 's posts. I would say this, be very firm in your Nexsus to your time in service. I'm sure you take care of all your own finances, right! Pay all your own bills and don't need the assistance of any friend or relative when it comes to financial matters. I know of 1 vet that said his wife paid all the household bills while discussing his PTSD condition at his C&P. He got the award but the VA wanted to, and maybe did, appoint a Fiduciary to handle his finances. REMEMBER, WHAT YOU SAY, CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU!

The C&P exam was pretty short and not very intrusive, only about 30 minutes. The Dr. was nice and Mainly it seemed, wanted me to recant my stressor for the PTSD which I done. A few questions about my childhood and family history heath wise which was all pretty simple. She ask me about my suicidal ideation and I told her I struggle with it a lot, which is true. She asked about sleep, anger, social life, (I don't have one), substance abuse, (None) all in all just the same basic questions with the exception of the PTSD, that my regular Psych Dr. and Social Worker have been asking about.

I really don't know what to think about it, so I am going to try to not let it bother me........May end up a zero or a hero, I just don't know.

All I can say is I told the truth.
