Supplemental claim

[XIbodybag]

Filed a supplemental claim 12 days ago.  Sent a current diagnosis from VHA of combat related PTSD (they diagnosed me with other stressor related disorder at 30%) and evidence of symptoms and interactions with police that should put me at 50 or 70% in like 50 pages of evidence via .  Called 1800 number today to check on status and they said that it had already been decided for 10/20/2020 (tomorrow???) and no new C&P was given.  Does this seem a bit fast to you?  Does that mean its unfavorable or have you seen favorable decisions made that quickly?

'' But the contracted dr diagnosed me with "other stressor related disorder" and low balled me.  In contrast the health side of the VA DID diagnose me with chronic ptsd w/ panic attacks.   They also denied my claim for my right knee even though I uploaded evidence.''

IF A OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR  DR (EXAMINER) MENTION THIS ABOVE   THEN THAT WAS A C&P EXAM.

MAKE SURE HE WAS QUAILFIED TO MAKE A  MENTAL HEALTH MEDICAL OPINION ./ WHAT WERE HIS/.R CREDENTIALS?

YOU NEED TO GET A  IMO (INDENPENDENT MEDICAL OPINION )FROM A QUALIFIED  SPECIALIST  IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE YOUR CLAIMING

AND HE /SHE NEEDS TO RENDER THEIR OPINION AFTER READING YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS AND EXAMINES YOU  AND USE THE WORDS  IS LIKELY AS NOT CAUSED BY YOUR MILITARY SERVICE  .

NOW ON THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE...THAT DEPENDS ON YOUR SYMPTOMS YOU SHOW DURING THE QUESTIONS THEY ASK YOU, THIS Dr that seen you....> (the contracted Dr  that mention '' other stressor related disorders ''  you need to find out what exactly what he meant by that  if you were claiming combat stressors  and not  shown stressors of another kind/type?

..but normally you get stressors from being traumatized of an actual event &  that can be anything traumatizing to you...combat strssors are the worst also MST Stressors  but non-combat stressors would be like you seen or witness to a different type of stressors   like you witness a bad car accident  otr you seen someone harm themself self inflicted injury  ect,,,ect,,, anything that traumatized you can be a stressor for PTSD & MDD ( MAJOR DEPRESSION DISORDERS) THOSE TWO GO HAND IN HAND SO-TO-SPEAK   even a bad car accident  ect,,ect,,,

Appeal the decision on your  ptsd claim FROM  OTHER STRESSOR  RELATED DISORDERS? TO COMBAT STRESSORS RELATED TO PTSD... and also your in service injury to your now bad knee.

 

if you used the old system legacy  you may now need to use the supplemental lane  or if you were in that and were denied OR Lowballed then head on over to the BVA because the next higher lane to chose is the HLR  AND IN THAT YOU CAN'T USE ANY NEW EVIDENCE ...SO YOU MORE THAN LIKELY WILL BE DENIED OR STAY THE SAME AS WHAT THEY GAVE YOU AND YOUR RATINGS WILL BE FOR THE SAME THING THEY RATING YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE...SO I RECOMMEND YOU HEAD OVER TO THE BVA...ASAP

 

It will help us help you if you can put a redacted copy of their reason and bases of their decision ''What We Decided''

black out personal information  name  claim #  address ect,,ect,,

ALSO YOU MENTION BEING  S.C. FOR THE  TBI...OK MAKE SURE YOUR  TBI  IS OR IS NOT  RELATED TO OR CAUSED BY A SECONDARY DISABLING CONDITION?

TBI CAN BE RELATED TO A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER DISABLING CONDITIONS   MEMORY LOSS IS A BIGGIE ,SLEEP APNEA (OSA) AND LOSS OF USE, ECT,,,ECT,, YOU WILL NEED A QUALIFIED (SPECIALIST) DR TO GIVE HIS OPINION ON  OTHER CONDITIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE CAUSED OR RELATED TO YOUR NOW SERVICE CONNECTED  TBI.

REMEMBER THERE'S NO LIMITS ON THE # OF CLAIMS WE CAN FILE.

BUT DO KEEP IN MIND ON ANY APPEALS YOU FILE  YOU ONLY HAVE ONE YEAR TO SUBMIT YOUR APPEAL  OR YOUR  NOD FROM THE DATE YOU WERE DENIED.
