I just came home from seeing my psychologist. I gave him the PTSD info someone suggested along with copies of letters from people I knew in the militaryI took in on my first visit. He reviewed it and said, it will entail an 8 hour testing procedure and in his experience, only 5-10% of cases were approved at the VA for compensation. I am trying to be positive about this but he didn't sound positive although he said my depression was from moderate to severe. He said I might check out some VA groups such as DAV or go to some PTSD groups at the VA. I wonder if:
(1) I should go ahead with him and take the tests at his office or
(2) Find out from him what kind of tests I need and ask for them from the MHC at the VA or,
(3) Just go to the VA MHC Clinic and ask for counselling and appropriate testing?
