How VA prevents you from getting a higher PTSD rating.

VA PTSD ratings are tricky. VA will get a veteran to focus on issues that fall under a 30% rating-- sleep problems, flash backs and night terrors. But the bigger issues of anger, isolation, inability to maintain relationships are not thoroughly addressed.

I got denied for PTSD...the examiner would try to lead me into family life before the military...asking if there was corporal punishment...yelling, physical abuse, sexual abuse...Every time I directed the interview to my experiences in the military...they would basically shut down and then ask about my highschool experience...trying to keep the conversation about PRE-military life. I finally got pissed and told them I had a pretty average non-abusive family life..i never got raped in highschool and why weren't they asking me about the combat experiences and body maiming accidents...the hazing , the ostracization in the military. They said they had enough information...i had to appeal it and got an honest rater and got 70% without any new info presented

@@josephvadderI understand where the “go get 100” comes from a good place but sometimes not every veteran needs that I have 70% and I think it’s fair for what I deal with personally. Someone who has lost limbs or been in combat should get 100% in my opinion

@irishlad420 5 ай бұрын

@ShotByMoo then you're limiting yourself. You don't have to be missing limbs to get 100% even then missing a appendage isn't a automatic 100%. Don't despair others for wanting to keep pushing for higher ratings it's toxic and dumb.

my C&P exam lasted, im not even kidding, 7 minutes to include verification of personal data. "not the best not the worst, 30%" is exactly what the examiner said. Like you said he only asked questions about nightmares, and thinking I would have a chance to get a word in at the end I just answered his questions and then boom interview over. Now looking for a lawyer.

They gave me ptsd but didn’t make it service-connected smh BUT the federal law judge took that, took the VA making me a drug addict and treating my addiction, as well as my other issues that have me at 80%, and gave me TDIU P&T effective 2008 so I’m not resetting that clock and tryin to get things increased or made service-connected because I want to hit that 20yr mark. Appreciate all y’all do to help my fellow vets! I didn’t know if y’all when I hired my attorney back in 06, but had I then I’d have gone with y’all. Back then only a handful of attorneys handled VA claims. Now I’m attempting to get my social security disability 🤦‍♂️

But the ultrasound tech knowingly lied. It seems they wanted to cover-up even though I had no intention of reporting the SA to law enforcement. It is hortific how I have been treated by medical care. Some MDs and especially my dentist have been wonderful. I am a pioneer eoman West Point grad. People have noticed how my body & life has been trashed. I don't understand this insahe world.

I had my c&p exam today for my mental health. The Dr. was easy going and he did all the talking. He didn't ask me about my time prior to service, during service or after service. He didn't talk about anything? He said I agree with you having PTSD and said he will put in the remarks that I need "intensive inpatient treatment for my PTSD" I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

We really need to have a critical documentary that explores the V.A. issue with the hundreds of thousands of suspicious PTSD claims that are clogging the system. By one estimate over 70% of (awarded) PTSD claims (that result in disability benefits,etc.) are made by people who did not serve in a combat role. Sebastian Junger did a lot of research on this. Truck drivers, logistics officers, petroleum technicians and others who may have worked on forwards bases but never stepped outside “the wire” are claiming PTSD and collecting hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits as well as receiving support from veterans charities. Only 10% of the US armed forces serve in a combat role, and the % of claimed PTSD cases far outstrips the number of actual soldiers who fired a gun and stood in harms way. Why is this important? The false PTSD claims mean that the veterans that really need help often do not get it, or they get less than what they should. Either due to jealousy, an inferiority complex or just plain opportunism, some veterans are gaming the system.
