C&P Exam PTSD:MST Eating Disorder.pdf
^^^^^^Well the attached report indicates to me a 10% PTSD rating. I am currently 30% and I do not understand how this happened but I might be in for a reduction. I thought the exam went well. I had a PTSD and Eating Disorder C&P.
Regarding the occupational/social impairment she checked the one that resembles 10% and for "b" she marks YES and goes on to say my trauma impacts my occupational/social impairment.
Look at the symptoms she notes:
Anxiety; Panic Attacks more than once a week; Chronic sleep impairment; difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships
She even stated in the exam that I was BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder) but her reports indicates while I have BDD characteristics I don't warrant the BDD rating.
She states for the VA established diagnosis of SPECIFIED TRAUMA AND STRESSOR RELATED DISORDER, there is NO CHANGE in the diagnosis. At this time the claimant's condition is active.
Does this Exam mean I am going to be reduced or would I fall under the below???
3.344 Stabilization of disability evaluations.

Tip I learned recently If they send you a proposal to reduce immediately request a personal hearing within 30 days and file a new claim for increase within the 60 day period following and you will get

Every reduction proposal comes with a letter that says if you don't agree with the adverse action you have the right to personal hearing if requested within 30 days of the date of the proposal to redu

Well UPDATE on this thread!!! My thread is a PRIME example to NOT draw conclusions from a C&P exam!!! I was granted 50% from 30% yesterday. I was completely shocked and happy at the same time.
