Requesting an increase for PTSD

Rate this question


Raza2009

Question

Good morning. I am submitting a claim for an increase from 50% to 70% on PTSD. I know I qualify for the rating that's not the information I am looking for. What I would like to know is if adding the VA psychiatrist and ppsychologist notes would assist with the claim or will the person looking at the claim pull the records themselves?

Any VA treatment records should be in your claims folder when it is reviewed.  If you have any civilian records you should pull those and attach them.                                                                                                                                                                

Good luck with your claim.

Submit the records.  Its a mistake to think that some VA employee has your  back and will obtain the applicable records for you.  Take charge of your own claim and ensure that its done and dont count on an unknown GS5 employee, who may not even show up that day, to validate your claim.  

Many a Vet on here has counted on VA to get their records for them, and many have been disappointed.

Submit them through ebenefits and yes bring them to your appointment for whoever to look at . They will and have at least all 3 of my initial increase and review reviewed what my doctors had to say.
