Hey guys,
Long time lurker first time poster. I recently completed a C and P exam after a very long time out of the military. My wife and a few of my friends finally got me to seek counseling and file a VA claim. I am currently 10% for skin issues. But I filed for depression. The C and P exam didn't go all that well. She say me litteraly 40 mins thats with time to park check in and see the doc. She rarely looked at me did no tests just typed everything I said and said thank you and I was on my way home. I was hoping some one here could take a look at the C and P notes the doctor wrote and could tell me where I stand. The military docs DX me with depression and dx dysthymic disorder, Personality Disorder NOS (dependent and avoidant traits). The examiner disagreed and just said I have a personality disorder. From what I have read on teh forums is this is the kiss of death for veterans. I don't have the financial means to hire a lawyer and the DAV here locally isn't really responsive to me. Could some one take a look at the notes and let me know of options I may have or not have? Should I just hang up the hat and call it a day?
Regards,
Duck
UPDATE: Ebenefits has changed my status to Pending Decision Approva. I submitted my claims back in April. Seems to be moving rather quickly.

rubberduck391 I had a very similar experience with my Gulf War CP Exam that went the same way. Despite the fact that the I had 4 of the 7 primary symptoms for GWI addressed in my medical records,

rubberduck391, I agree with rootbeer22, if you could obtain an imo from your treating psychiatrist, detailing your depression and symptoms and, most importantly, stating something to the effect "it is

Update. So I was approved for my increase from 10% to 60% and all other claimed items were denied not service connected.
