I have a claim in process right now. My C and P exam was about two weeks ago. It was a telehealth exam, so what I did was print out the slides you showed and I checked off the boxes for the symptoms that I had, and put it on a clipboard next to me. I did this so that I could ensure that I explained/articulated each of these symptoms to the examiner in case I forgot something or they didn't ask.

​@@markcowan3366yes, I won a 70% claim. Rater cited in decision letter insomnia consistent with the service records I submitted and I also submitted a statement for PTSD due to a specific combat incident that I was able to show proof of. The tricky part for me was making sure they understood the severity of symptoms enough, luckily my notes helped me articulate this.

This was by far one of the most informative training videos I have watched on the MH process. 6 months ago I got a MH rating of 70% that brought my total rating to 90%. I filed for TDIU, thinking it was just going to be a records review (where my last C&P exams were only 6 months ago) No, the VA has me re-examining on everything! I'm very nervous about this and worry about a reduction. This should help me prepare.

I had a list of all the symptoms I’m dealing with in regards to my anxiety/panic disorders, I studied the DBQ & 38cfr regulation. Day of my C&P being tele health exam my examiner accuses me of looking at the documents I prepared to best advocate myself. She kept asking me “Why do you keep looking left and right? Do you have multiple screens on? Is there someone else in the room with you? You said that like you read that off the VA form!! I have never heard a veteran say it exactly like that!!” She even cussed at me haha & I was upset inside but still kept the composure to finish the exam and ensured I spoke up about all the symptoms I am still dealing with and the severity. We’ll see what happens but I definitely filed a complaint to the VA and the contracted agency who provided the exam

I’m trying to understand why RO is sending me to a Behavioral Health exam after they rated me 30%(without a DBQ) for psychiatric with depression. Will they change my rating after they receive my DBQ or are they expecting me to file for a decision review, then they’ll use the DBQ to for a higher rating?

[@DewayneKimble]

I can't say as I don't know the details of what you are doing with your claim. Sometimes the rater can give a rating based on the evidence but request an exam as well to see if they can provide the higher rating. Without knowing what you are doing with your claim I can't say for sure.

[@dandahmann128]

My claim was originally denied back in 2017, I opted BVA and got a granted in September of 2023. My hope was to get 70% mental health based off my documented symptoms, but they gave me 30% rating before I even attended my exam. From what I understand, they can still potentially bump up my rating after my exam?

Last week i received a letter from the va asking me to list my stressors for PTSD. I filed for PTSD several years ago and could not prove my stressors. So I filled out the PTSD form the va sent me and used the same incidents from my previous claim. I stated on the form that I did not file for PTSD and that my claim is for MMD.

@@DewayneKimble you also should admit that the military and the VA do not train veterans on all of the word play and games with filing a claim. Not to mention, you are here profiting off guiding service members through the process…. The whole system from the VA, to the EAS process to KZbinrs to large scale claim companies are a shame.

@@raiderjedi4160Couldn’t agree more. If vets truly were interested in helping vets navigate this corrupt system, they would give out the information for FREE. Zero cost should be associated with helping veterans win claims they rightfully deserve. This whole “know the game/keywords” crap is absolutely shameful. Why should vets have to play games with their livelihood? Make it make sense

@@ladyroyale4280 yea, I use all of the information I’ve learned to help everyone that I know - my baby brother got out and was 100% p&t for free of charge, helped his buddies out as well.

@@Broommaker19 don’t pretend that the half information presented online will get the average veteran an approved claim. You are using yourself and saying everyone should be the same, remove yourself from the equation and look down from fifty thousand feet. Why should it be free? That question is the problem with the entire claims process.
