ptsd C&P exam upcoming

[Inarticulate&Distorted]

Hello, been lurking here on the forums and reading all the information i can get. Have an upcoming C&P exam and i am confused as to what it is actually for. a bit of a back story, last year i filed for PTSD with depression and anger issues, had a horrible VSO from a Missouri Veterans Commission. I never even got the chance to send in all of my civilian medical records, i never got to send in my Statement in Support of my claim. the gentleman told me to take those with me to the C&P Exam, thing is,i was denied and never even got a C&P. I took my denial letter plus some of my records from my VA folder to the Disable American Veterans and the person filed a "reajidication" for Emotional Adjustment Disorder with Depression, which is what i was diagnosed with while in Ft. Benning GA. so here it is a few months later, and i have a C&P in Hillsboro Oregon, and i don't even know what the exam is actually for. i received a letter from the VA stating that since they have reopened my initial PTSD claim i need to submit new evidence, or file a NOD, or file a CUE claim, the thing is, since going to the DAV i have been sending them more civilian med recs, more counseling statements from the Drill Sergeants and things like that, it's called unsolicited information and i printed it off from EBenefits. on Ebenefits i see that my PTSD claim is now reopened, and my Emotional Adjustment Disorder with Depression Claim is still in the Gathering of Evidence phase. but under History of claims it still shows my original PTSD claim as closed....so i am fairly confused, frustrated, and hoping someone here can chat with me a little about what i can expect from the convoluted aspect of the whole process.

Can you briefly describe your stressor for PTSD or some details about why you're filing?
