PTSD - C&P Exam "Stressor"

[R762]

I e-mailed my DAV representative yesterday. I have a C&P exam this Friday. I asked him if I should bring in my buddy statements, awards, Release of [medical] Information, my DD Form 2807-1 (which shows I asked the Regimental Medical Officer that I was seeking help/advice for reoccuring nightmares that stemmed from a military operation the pentagon 9/11).

The Rep responded, "You do not want to submit anything at this time, getting the exam is a huge step, because if they did not verify your stressor they would not have requested the exam".

My Question: So, should I not bring my medical records for proof? In the beginning, It was my understanding that I would want to bring in as much information as possible.

Although the examiner said that my back pay would only go back to when this claim was reopened. I will have to talk to DAV about that.

Here we go again... [8:00 Off to the VA]

VA Examiner, "You have consistent unquestionable evidence in your claim. [2 hours later] I will be noting that you have with out doubt Service Connected PTSD." 

That went smoother that expected. We'll see what actually gets put on paper. 

Happy to hear things worked out as they should have with your C&P  brother.

GREAT!!!!! I am glad you got that over with.

The examiner is correct.

It will take a CUE claim to get a more favorable EED if the VA denied the same disability in the past and that older rating sheet shows a NSC rating of at least 10%.

From my understanding, the examiner said that the reason it was denied was that I was misdiagnosed with OCPD, this examiner said that I do, and had PTSD, and that OCPD was secondary and was onset after the PTSD, that the OCPD was induced by the SC-PTSD. If I do have proof that I was asking about recieving help while I was in, but was denied due to wrong diagnosis (pointed out be VA), wouldn't that be CUE?

Was your PTSD C & P completed at your VMC by a VA Staff Psychiatrist, Psychologist PhD or a contrat Dr?

If completed at your VMC, a copy of the PTSD DBQ as well as any clincian notes, should be on your MHV Account within about 3-5 days. Posting a redacted copy of the DBQ & Clinician Notes would be informative.

Very seldom, will you get a Medical Dr, to opine about another Dr's mis-DX from years ago. After reviewing the 38 CFR 4, what do you think your rating should be? I thought mine was a 30 lock, with a possible 50, came back a 70. Good thing I wasn't my Rater.

As far as I can tell if the OCPD ( I assume this means obsessive compulsive personality disorder?)

was put onto a past rating sheet as NSC with a percentage, it would be a CUE.

The actual exam (once they release it) might even have a statement to the affect that the older diagnosis was wrong.

Were you aware of this OCPD diagnosis at all?

If completed at your VMC, a copy of the PTSD DBQ as well as any clincian notes, should be on your MHV Account within about 3-5 days. Posting a redacted copy of the DBQ & Clinician Notes would be informative. I have downloaded the DBQ from MHV, I will redact and post for y'alls review

I thought mine was a 30 lock, with a possible 50, came back a 70. Good thing I wasn't my Rater. I don't even know what they would rate me, I am thinking 30 or possible 50. But not holding my breath.
