0 Moderator broncovet Posted October 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2015 Tim: A "deferred" rating means you will (supposedly) get your decision letter "later" on that issue because they are missing some key evidence. We are not sure what it is VA is missing from your C and P exam. If you get a copy of it, you may be able to figure it out, or post it here and we will try to help. You need 3 things for service connection BEFORE you will get a disability percentage:1. Current diagnosis of PTSD (this has to be done by a VA doc for PTSD). 2. In service event or stressor verified.3. Nexus, or a doc who basicially says your "Ptsd is at least as likely as not due to xxx which happened in the military".You may be missing one of these 3 things. Your doc ALSO has to give a reason as to why he offered the opinion he did, and your doc may not have said why. If you get a copy of your c and P exam, and post it, we may be able to help more.

0 Guest Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 "Occupational and social impairment, with deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking or mood", which mostly resembles 70% disability according to the GENERAL RATING FORMULA FOR MENTAL DISORDERS. The VA's explanation for deferment states, "is deferred for the following information: addendum to VA examination." Your VA Regional Office is asking the doctor who did your C & P exam for more information. This information must be by an addendum and the doctor may request you to come in or call you or just write the information in the addendum and send it back to your Regional office. It could be anything but it is up to the doctor. If you are not working it could be if VA is trying to find out if you are unemployable due to your PTSD.

0 Moderator broncovet Posted October 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2015 If you have not gotten a letter explaining exactly what evidence is missing (causing it to be deferred), then I humbly suggest you ask VA what evidence they are missing. You can do this through an IRIS email, a letter to VA, or an email to allison Hickey. I would try the first two first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Navy04 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I know you are over whelmed bud, but it sounds like claim is going well. My last 2 contentions stated differed, and then Wham I was granted 100% Permanent. So it might very well be a good thing.
