Back in March I went through two C&P exams for my requested increase in ratings.
The PTSD exam came back with a 70% rating(up from 30%), neck 20% and back 10% for an overall of 80%.
Because I had to quit my job at the end of February due to mental health issues, I filed for TDIU. Tomorrow I have another psy exam to attend in reference to the IU claim and I was curious if this is normal?
And how worried should I be about not only a denial of IU but a new psy doctor reducing my 70% ptsd rating?

Hello everyone,
Back in March I went through two C&P exams for my requested increase in ratings.
The PTSD exam came back with a 70% rating(up from 30%), neck 20% and back 10% for an overall of 80%.
Because I had to quit my job at the end of February due to mental health issues, I filed for TDIU. Tomorrow I have another psy exam to attend in reference to the IU claim and I was curious if this is normal?
And how worried should I be about not only a denial of IU but a new psy doctor reducing my 70% ptsd rating?
Thanks for any thoughts or insights,
Jack

If you quit all on your own it probably isn't good. They have used that against me since 2000. Though I can't find it in the M21-1 they apparently want someone, one of your doctors or VR&E t

Yeah, I'm planning on a denial the first time around. I just turned 65 last March, so I'm sure that will come into consideration at some point. I resigned from my part time job back at the e

A VA PA's medical opinion would be a good second choice. Especially, if he/she is prescribing MH medications. Mine is a VA Psychiatrist and had prescribed my medications for five years. Before, I fi
