I put a claim in for Ptsd, Anxiety, and depression after talking with my Va health provider. She said that I should apply after talking with her for a few years about some issues I was having. I was reluctant to for a long time, but I finally decided to apply. I received an appointment for a Telecom DBQ initial Ptsd Dsmv. They said it would be about a 120 minute meeting. I was just wondering if anyone had gone thru this process and what to expect. I had one similar a few years back with a Mental health doctor by Video conference and they stated that I had anxiety disorder and Depression, I can't remember what was said about Ptsd. They just asked a lot of questions about my deployments. Have to go back and check the notes. They wanted me to try the medication. I'm taking Prazosin for nightmares, Lorazapem for anxiety and depression, zolpheim for insomnia. I'm just trying to figure out what to expect. and what's the next step after the video conference, will there be any additional meeting.

I would imagine it would be similar to the video conference you had previously. You can actually look at the DBQ's online at your convenience right from the VA's web site: https://www.benefits.va.gov/

The short answer is we dont know. Va pretty much does what they want, when they want to, without any regard for Veterans wishes. So, this 2 hour exam (probably less), may suffice. I have heard Vets

Don't be surprised if it is 100 minutes less than they stated.
