Hello all,
I got a phone call at the end of work yesterday afternoon, can I come down for a C&P exam on Tuesday, the 3rd of November...what is this for...my claim for depression, yes I will be there.
Anyone go through an exam for depression as secondary to chronic pain? Or even just depression, that can give me some pointers? What should I not mention, besides life before my service? How much detail should I give? Should I mention my night sweats, and nightmares along with my chronic sleep impairment? How long will this type of exam take? 1 hour, 2 hours, or longer?
Semper Fi.
Andyman.
