Less Than 2 Years Re-Evaluation

[Rakkasan]

This seems fairly fast since my final decision 1 1/2 years ago. Is this normal? Figured I would have to do another one 3-5 years. Just a bit curious.

 

Also another side note: Of course, I would still be attending my C&P but if I attach my favorable DBQ that I just recently had done how much weight does it carry? Thanks all!

I am still under their care. I am under constant medication and still go to my social worker appointments every 3 months like clockwork. I am not too worried I was just curious.

Plenty of weight, that's nearly the best thing you can do I believe, and to go hand in hand with statements (spouse or other) would be pretty hard to argue around.

Believe this or not, You can fax your favorable DBQ to the intake center or your can have your doctor's office fax it to the VAMC medical center.  Your Dr.'s  office should already have a signed release of information form in their possession and that is a very easy way to get this evidence in your file.  Also the C & P examiner would have it right in his/her face before your exam.  Get that evidence in one way or another now.  I new a vet that asked me about a re-evaluation and he was very nervous.  I told him to just go and tell the truth.  He went from 30% to 70% for PTSD.

After a veteran is diagnose with PTSD AND IS GIVEN A RATING

if he don't stay in treatment or see a Therapist  this is usually what prompts a re evaluation.

  not going to treatment the VA think you must have improved.

how would the VA know that the veteran isn’t seeking treatment else where?

Usually the VA is required to see the disabled veteran every year for a checkup.  At this time they will ask about your appointments and treatment.  If you do not go to the checkup they will assume you are not getting treatment.

Depending on your rating your Doctor and or social worker may flag your file for re-examination if he/she believes you are better or worst.  It could be for any reason.

@vetquest I found the regulation regarding reexaminations

https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=&SID=e2da3beb077befda21b986cc531ccda7&mc=true&r=SECTION&n=se38.1.3_1327

Keep in mind "prestabilization" from (b)(1) means when you were granted the 50% or 100% rating when leaving service. Everything else should fall under (b)(2) or (c) depending on the circumstances.

Does this go for vets with P&T and/or IU ratings?
