So I recently as of 20150412 applied for IU along with reopening my claims for migraines, vertigo and photosensitivity.
I was recently back in march given an increase on my PTSD rating so that I currently sit at 80%. The breakdown being 70%-PTSD 10%-Left shoulder impingement 10%-Tinnitus 0%-mild ankle laxity
My claim for migraines is well supported by over 3yrs of treatment records showing that I have on average two a week that cause me to either be forced to take an abortive that renders me unable to function so as to relieve the nausea of being stuck in bed all day without lights or any sort of sounds. There have been multiple medications I have been on and the last two times I was seen by my PCP they noted the migraines being debilitating and consistent and that basically there is nothing else to do besides deal with them as we currently are. I did get a call from the RO that said they had approved my claim for migraines and that they were still working on my other contentions. From everything I have seen doing research it seems as if I may be given a 50% rating due to the frequency and severity of them.
Now since my MH provider is the one who suggested I apply for IU based upon my PTSD, not even knowing about my migraines and knowing that since I have been treated there I have had multiple attempts to return to school and been unsuccessful due to having in the past year three hospitalizations as well as normal daily difficulties and only one seasonal temporary job this past christmas season does that bode well for my chances at getting IU. Before I applied for IU I did my request for ptsd and migraines and was sent to a C&P for them earlier this summer which is why I am assuming they haven't requested another C&P.

Glad you made it thru the exams bud. I just put in a few weeks ago for PTSD increase and A&A. I already had the Psych exam 2 days ago thru the VES Civilian Doc, which I can not get copy of results
