I filed a claim. Did a session with a private psychologist and was diagnosed with ptsd. Went to a c and p exam and the examiner did not accurately reflect all of my symptoms. Was given a low rating. Went back to the private psychologist who reviewed my c and p exam paperwork and concluded that one part was inconsistent with another part. He said that VSO scheduled another c and p exam. Just did that one. The va is calling it a request for increase rather than a dispute of the original claim. Below is the letter from the private psychologist after reviewing my case decision
my question .... they already sent me back pay to the date of my claim but at a much lower rating than the psychologist says I should qualify for. If it is increased with this latest c and p exam, will I still get back pay for the difference back to my original claim date?

LadyMC In my opinion, you are requesting a supplemental claim for an increase. If you are appealing within in a one year of your low decision, you would get continuity to the EED. You may have th
