ptsd All The Va Does Is Lie

[calnight]

I GOT A IRIS REPORT LAST WEEK STATING THAT MY CLAIM WAS GOING TO THE RATING BOARD. I SENT THEM A REQUEST VIA IRIS ASKING IF MY CLAIM WAS AT THE RATING BOARD ON TUES AND TODAY GOT THE REPLY. " NO NOT AT THE RATING BOARD, MAY SETTING UP ANOTHER EXAM ". WHAT THE H*LL DO THEY MEAN. I HAD A C&P LAST MONTH FOR CLAIM. ONE CLAIM FOR INCREASE IN PTSD AND IU. IS THERE ANOTHER OR DIFFERNT EXAM FOR IU. I KNOW THE C&P WAS FOR THE PTSD IS THERE SOMETHING DIFFERNT FOR IU. IF YOU READ MY PRIOR POST MY STORY YOU WILL SEE I HAVE COVERED EVERY BASE AND I WAS JUST AWARDED SSD YESTERDAY. I CAN SAY THIS SSD WAS ALOT SMOOTHER PROCESS APPROVED FIRST TRY 5 MONTHS. THANK YOU

Can't say specificly but sometimes a rater will decide more information is needed and send the claim back to the developement team to get it. A proccess that is very hard on veterans that need a decision in a timely manner.

I can't say SS is much better. I had an ALJ hearing yesterday and don't think it went well. Three years and I think I may be denied again. Will have to wait and see, but I thought the evidence was enough to be granted an immediate decision. Myself, my wife and attorney didn't leave with a very good feeling though.

cal,

make sure va gets a copy of your ssd award asap -- ESPECIALLY if disabilities

on ssd award are the same as disabilities claimed or awarded from va.

I would also take a copy of the ssd award to this next c&p you are scheduled for

and leave the copy with the examiner. va can send you to as many c&p's as they want and you sure don't want to miss one. a C&P is a great time to document

medical evidence for your claim - i'd try to just stick with any and ALL disabilities

a vet is claiming for sc - i wouldn't bring up disabilities or illness that do not relate

to my va disabilities.

If you are getting SSD for something other than your VA claim it will not do you any good to mention it will it?
