I currently have a claim for an increase in for PTSD PT. The claim is 5.5 months in and It is in the preparation for decision step almost 2 months now. I received my CP exam results a few weeks ago and the examiner marked: total occupational and social plus 5 of 7 of the criteria for 100. I do not get hopes up that this means automatic due to 3 horrendous experiences with the VA. I look at it like I have a possibility for the rating.
Just curious if this is the norm on length now? Also , are only certain personnel allowed to review and rate increases for PTSD P&T? I have heard this. Just want to ask.

Rick- if your examiner checked Total social/Occupational Impairment that goes a long way. While its not a slam dunk (it never is, is it *sigh*) it helps a lot. Remember- Total and Social occupational

I am still this way. (sigh) I some times think it will never go away.... If you are a PTSD / MST Vet you can only learn to manage you symptoms. My wife of 18 years doesn't understand and I don't expec
