PTSD DBQ with C and P

Rate this question

Question

Hello,

 

   Just spoke to a Veteran at the Philly VA and he stated he had his Initial DBQ for PTSD filled out by his Psychologist who is at a Doctorate level and was granted 50% SC. He stated he had stressors as well as nexus letters and never had a C and P. Is That possible? He said they never questioned it because it was a Doctorate level Psychologist?

Yes, I am sure that is possible. Apparently this was a VA psychologist who was treating him for PTSD.

Plus the fact that his stressors might have been adequately confirmed and/or evident on his DD 214.

(CAR, CIB, and/or PH)

The doctorate only means he is a PHD. I hope all VA psychologists have a Phd.

As long as he is a VA MH professional, his diagnosis (and possible rating remarks in the C & P) would warrant a SC PTSD award, if there is no doubt as to the veteran's stressors.

Berta,

 

   That's the thing he said it was his outside Psychologist the is a Psych Doctor, he also has a VA doctor that has him diagnosed with PTSD as well, but I made sure to ask who did the DBQ and he said absolutely his own Psychologist
