Question
Philip Rogers
In reviewing my friend's c-file, I found he was hospitalized, back in 1983, complaining of a drinking problem and marital discord. His discharge summary lists 2 diagnoses: 1) Mixed character disorder, 2) Partial PTSD with depression. Now my question - if I recall correctly a VA hospital stay is supposed to be considered a "claim for increase." Since he was already receiving 50% for wound residuals, should the VA have rated these 2 diagnoses?? I think we should pursue it.
