I got 70% PTSD filed an appeal and finally got 100%PTSD P&T. I saw two psychologists and a psychiatrist over a period of about two years to get it all done.

What you just said just happened to me. The examiner did not go over my file, she said her system was down. So she just asked a few questions, not many. I am waiting to see if she did not ask enough questions, we did not cover half of my symptoms, but we covered many stressors so to speak.

Had a good friend of mine tell that once the VA labels you with a mental disorder that he got his concel and carry revoked, now he is afraid of the gun police coming to taking his hunting rifles and all his guns and ammo. The woods is his happy place and helps with his PTSD, plus that's part of feeding his family, he always feels better when he can bring home some meat.( is there any truth to losing his gun rights) I'm trying to help him anyway I can, thank you in advance

Dont diagnose yourself with PTSD. Put your symptoms on the claim and let the VA diagnose you.

@Slan_the_Man Жыл бұрын

in order to claim PTSD with the VA, you need to have already been diagnosed with PTSD. The C&P is to determine if its service connected and how bad it affects your every day life. The C&P is NOT to diagnose you with PTSD.

You cannot be a real VA law firm telling veterans they have to go to a C&P exam. A veteran has every right to submit a private DBQ from their own doctor. The DBQ is what’s required, not the C&P exam. That private DBQ has to be held with the same credibility as a VA C&P exam by law and a veterans claim cannot be denied for not attending the C&P when a private doctor DBQ was submitted. I didn’t go to a single VA scheduled C&P exam and I’m rated at 100%.
