Back on the 14th I had my C&P Exam for my reopened exam. I must first say this is the first time I was asked in the claim form to identify stressors or past stressful events that I participated in while serving. I went in for the exam, it lasted about 2 hours, and I just recently downloaded his report. He marked no for ptsd, but identified three other mental disorders and found them to be more likely than not to be service connected, While strikes me as odd is, he says no to ptsd, but at the end of the report he checked almost every box indicating ptsd? Based on your experience, is this guy trying to help me out, or is he just refusing to find ptsd?
also, I was asked nothing in the interview about social or occupational issues that have arisen due to the depression and anxiety. Should I write a letter explaining those issues that seem to be missing from the report, or should I just wait for the decision?
Thanks for reading. I look forward to participating here.

Also remember the VA raters are required to follow up and investigate any "inferred" claim. For instance, lets say you claim flat foot and nothing else. You go in for a C&P and the examiner notic
