Help With Resent C&p Exam

[Lady Chance]

Hello

Sorry I must of posted to fast first timmer.

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 was told but the PSY doc put

Axis I: Major Depression Recurrent

Dysthymia

Panic Disorder

Dissaoicative Disorder

Geralized Anxiety Disorder

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Axis II: Deferred

Axis III: Scoliosis Degenerative joint Disorder Hypertention Migrane Headaches

Axis IV: Not being able to fuction.

Axis V GAF score 45

VA QUESTION "Please comment if it was as Least as Likely as Not, the Veteran has a current Chronic Mental Condition that had its onset in service". Doctor saids It as least as likely as not that this had service onset.

I also applied for Individual Unemployment. VA did not ask about able to work.

What should I expect from all of this I appreciate any help.

Thanks

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.

Lady Chance - what were your dates of service? Discharge date? If you've been dischrged within the past year you may not need a nexus. jmo

Scoliosis may be very hard to prove a service connection.
