Hey guys! You all were very helpful when my husband was going through the PTSD claim process. He finally received his approval Oct of 2017. He just received a phone call on Thursday letting him know he has a new C&P exam scheduled for the 25th. He never asks a lot of questions, but can anyone tell me why? Are they trying to take away his 70% disability? Are they trying to rate him higher? What is the purpose for this after him being 70% disabled for 2 years. I can tell you, he is NOT any better than 2 years ago. He's lost a job and had a week stay at a private hospital for his PTSD during these 2 years. I'm just so confused why he is having to do another exam.

ErinNick Don't fret; normal for the VA to call for a re-eval, especially between 2 years and before 5 years after initial award of grant. This is because they want to be sure that the veteran is

Get prepared to fight this and do not miss your filing date. If you can get a letter from a medical doctor, better yet ask his psych doctor if they would be willing to write up a DBQ for your husband
