go and get a IMO from a accredited Psychologist. I can give you a name, just PM me.

If you can, can you scan and upload your VA decision (redact your name/social/etc) as well as copies of the DBQ from the COmp and Pen exam so that folks here can see better what was written and why the lowball rating.

While you are doing all of this. Go on Ebenefits and get copies of ALL of your medical information. GO to any private doctors you have seen, get copies of their evidence.

Also start a request for your C Fileto get that.

Lets start to piece this all together for you so that you can go back to the VA all ready to rock and roll and watch them squirm.
