    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading

Hello

I was wondering if anyone can tell me about what my resent Psy exam means. I have Major Depression Recurrent, Panic and General Anxiety Disorder I know but the PSY doc put

Axis 1: Major Depression Recurrent

Dysthymia

Panic Disorder

Dissaoicative Disorder

Welcome to Hadit. I am Service Connected for Panic Disorder and Major Depression 100%. If you can show a link to Service and also treatment after you left service unless it is less than a year you probably have a good claim. If you are not working you should add a request for Unemploability due to Service Connection

Good Luck

Pete made the key point for your claim-

regardless of the nexus statement the VA doctor made- as to "more than likely"

a veteran still has to prove the nexus, reason, etiology, event etc that caused the inservice depression-

if you have already provided VA with that evidence, then the C & P is good-if not it is only an opinion that would corroborate fact- the proven nexus.

I didnt see the 50% rating in this post you made and maybe you posted that elsewhere-

If this is claim for higher SC rating of what SC you already have-I dont understand that C & P at all-

If this is claim for initial SC of the disabilities you listed-

the service nexus has to be proven.

I see a very high rating based on the Scolosis and hypertensive Migraine headaches. Scoliosis is a seriously disabling condition where the vertabrates are badly out of line. The Headaches are also serioiusly disabling. I agree with Pete. You may get IU or even 100 percent schedular.

Scoliosis may be very hard to prove a service connection.

Lady:

Since you are already rated at 50% and with these symptoms and diagnosis you should get 100% fairly easily.

Good Luck on your claim.

Do you have Social Security DIsability? If you do not you should apply immediately.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I was already rated 50% Hypertention and low Back W/Scoliosis and Joint Disease. I Had Depression and Anxiety in Medical records when I left service in 2002. I thought I could deal with it and I went to work. Then a year later still seeing VA DOCS I started having bad anxiety with Depression where I did not want to leave the house. I also started noticing hair coming out in the sink I take a bunch of Meds. Metoprolol Tartrate is one I take for high Blood It made my depression worse. Now I am a mess and me trying to work is very difficult. Right now I don't think I can handle doing Vocational Rehab now.

Lady Chance

Thank
