I was diagnosed with a personality disorder in 2005 during a C&P exam (GAF 42), and again in 2012 during a c&p (GAF51) I was diagnosed with Major Depression and Anxiety by my VA Psychiatrist in late 2013. After almost two years of medication he decided that I might have PTSD and sent me to a VA Psychologist (who he said had a lot of experience dealing with Vets with PTSD). After two visits and some diagnostic testing the Psychologist stated in the notes of myhealthvet that I met the criteria for PTSD chronic and would be treating me for PTSD. I have been diagnosed by three different private Psychiatrist since 2005, and treated for PTSD at a VET center and the VA ignored all of those diagnoses. I was diagnosed with PTSD by the VA Psychologist on 8/6/2015 I was given an C&P today (8/11/2015) lets see if the VA believes there own diagnosis. :biggrin:

That is Great news.  You apparently filed a claim for PTSD, that was denied prior to the 2010 PTSD regs?

If so, those past diagnoses might have a bearing on trying to get a better EED.

"I have been diagnosed by three different private Psychiatrist since 2005, and treated for PTSD at a VET center and the VA ignored all of those diagnoses."

What did you mean by 'ignored"? and what EED did they give you?

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

Berta what I mean by "ignored" is the VA stood by the c&p exam DX in 2005 of a personality disorder. I reopened the claim in 2012 I was granted a c&9p in 2013 the VA stood by the personality disorder DX again ( I had two Diagnosis of ptsd from two different Psychiatrist outside of the VA at the time) In 2014 I reopened the claim again armed with a DX of ptsd from a VA Psychologist. I was granted 30% ptsd  this month.
