I’m 80 percent- all I can tell you is the life of a Veteran after the military is hard- the worse part is getting civilians to understand you, they don’t. It’s lonely out there even when you’re surrounded by people or family members. It is what it is.

[@christilivingfreely]

I never understood why the decision letter rated me at 70 percent and listed all the symptoms that qualified me, were the exact same symptoms that were listed that I would need for 100 percent. Now I can go back and point out that the symptoms to satisfy for 100 percent, are the exact same symptoms listed under the 70% rating. I also don't think they had the hospital records where I was at, at the time of the decision letter. So I can send that in as new evidence under a supplemental claim to reopen the initial claim.

In the last two years, I had 4 major manic schizophrenic delusions and I went into the psych ward and tried to go back a second time but they didn't have enough beds. I'm on LOA with my work and all of this has been documented by my VA psychiatrist we have monthly meetings. I have bipolar type 1 with schizophrenic tendencies I currently have a 70 percent VA rating do you think I have a shot at a hundred? I was gonna go through VBG services

I’ve always been stuck between a rock and a hard place when they ask about the questions of suicidal ideology. Every doctor I’ve ever been to has always said everything you tell me has 100% confidentiality EXCEPT if you mention that you want to hurt yourself or others. I was always concerned about the “red flag“ aspect that they could take me into custody for a mandatory 24 hour 48 hour or whatever the hell lock up for mental evaluation. A huge part of my mental condition is that thing and I can’t remember the name, but it is similar to claustrophobia when I am trapped someplace, and I cannot get out. Obviously being locked in some room for some observation would skyrocket that aspect. Add to that, my version of golfing or bass fishing whatever type of hobby is I like to go to the range and target shoot and try to outdo my own score on a paper target. Well, of course that means firearms and if they think you’re suicidal and they want a red flag you and come in and take the firearms away, well you see where I’m going with that. And so consequently, none of my psychiatric doctors or counselors or medical doctors whenever they would bring up the nasty S word I would always say no and deny it so now I have no back history of it to fall back on and show. It’s a Catch-22 situation.

[@DewayneKimble]

If there are other conditions due to service you can claim them.

[@robertgaultjr9256]

I just recently went for an increase and at my C&P exam the provider said why wasn’t I diagnosed properly 9 yrs ago with PTSD and the fact of certain incidents that happened on the battle field. The provider therefore checked all those boxes and said the max she could do is put in for 70% and I couldn’t get the 100% because I was never hospitalized in a mental institution. I still have to work to pay my bills because even at 100% it’s very difficult to live these days. But I have had to change my profession because of health issues and go back to college to even get into a office setting. So non the less I have had 6 employers in the last 5 years because I didn’t see eye to eye with their bad decisions. My question is could the VA rater still grant me 100% if they feel it should be? Most of those symptoms I have and with sleep apnea, hypertension, and type II diabetes are the most recent within the last couple years I have been diagnosed with.

[@DewayneKimble]

Did you ask her where in the VA regulation where it states the only way to get 100 percent is you have to be hospitalized, that is only for paragraph 29. As stated in the video, they can if the evidence warrants it. They can go up or down based on the evidence. Did you see that part in the video.

Question Sir, I filed for PTSD in July of 2022 but got scared and made the mistake of not going to the C&P exam (my anxiety was killing me) therefore got a denial letter in October of 2022. I submitted a supplemental claim for PTSD in January of 2023, and got 70% in April of 2023. However, VA started paying me as of January of 2023 and not since July of 2022 when I submitted the initial claim. I accepted it and did not go for the backpay since I was the one at fault by not attending the C&P exam the first time. Should I go for back pay so I can get my 70% back pay from July 2022 to January 2023? Or should I leave it alone? Thanks for the input.

If you file for PTSD for MST is there chance the VA will lower the claim you already were awarded for non combat PTSD?

Do you have to show your mental health is service connected in order to get this mental compensation?

You have to be diagnosed and it has to fall under one of the five ways of service connection.

I am medically retired and recently obtained my 100% mh rating w smc-s. On my decision letter it states under retired pay app laws and findings on 38 cfr 3.750 entitlement to concurrent receipt of ret pay and va disability comp. Does that mean I can draw both at the same time?? As of now my ret pay is waived by va waiver so I'm only receiving va comp.

[@DewayneKimble]

There is a section on the 526EZ asking about election. Look at that box and see which one you selected. Normally, if the vet is over 50 percent S/C, they get both. Raters do not handle anything with this. They only rate.

I'm at 70% for major Depression in my shoulder claim. Is it possible to submit a secondary claim for anxiety for my left knee patellofemoral claim? Will I receive a rating increase or you can't submit 2 mental health claims?

I have My Mental Health exam coming up this Friday. Any tips anyone can give Me ? I don't have the funds to join this channel, to get the proper tools. ( Unemployed ) But hopefully you, Dwayne or any veteran who has been in this situation, can help Me. And My Exam will be done on a Zoom Meeting. Thank You.

Think about how you claimed that condition under one of the five ways of service connection, think about how your DX impacts your life and which symptoms you have that are listed in the rating scheduler criteria for mental conditions.

I have a question regarding a migrantes C&P examination. The C&P examiner is going to review my records which is very unsettling to me because I have statements and pictures that I would like the examiner to look at. Is that normal procedure for them just to only review my records? And for me not to see an actual doctor or NP?

[@DewayneKimble]

Who said they will not review all the records and NP can do C & P exams.

[@calvinreese563]

Dewayne, Really appreciate all you do. Question, I was involved in an accident while on active duty and sometimes while I’m driving in certain conditions, I reflect back and think on my accident. I don’t see anything in the diagnostic codes that relate to that because it only happens at certain times. How do convey that on a C&P exam? Also, I still have all of my records and documentation from the accident.

[@DewayneKimble]

I appreciate you. The way you convey it on an exam will depend on the condition you are claiming. If PTSD, the accident is the stressor and what criteria do you meet under the general rating criteria for mental. As I stated in the video, this is something you have to explain, how it impacts your work and social life. You explained part of it in your question. Don't over think it.

Just submitted a DBQ to get increase but I had a C&P exam before it that didn’t hear all I said. This DBQ I submitted states I’m a 100 would they deny me and stick with the original of C&P?

[@DewayneKimble]

I can't say what the rater will or will not due when they review all the evidence.

[@DewayneKimble]

I can't say for sure what the rater will or will not do when they review the evidence.

[@astronomical13]

The DBQ is important, but it’s only a part of the evidence. Just because you have a specific box checked does not necessarily mean you will get a certain rating. Example, I have been helping a coworker with their VA stuff. I helped him get a copy of his DBQ from his C&P exam. The box under the social and occupational impairment section was checked for the “30%” category with symptoms that mostly fell under the 30% and 50% categories. When he received his decision his rating was for 100%. When we went over his decision letter it stated they used evidence from his private medical opinion and his VA health records. I’m just trying to reiterate there is no magical checkbox, it’s the totality of the evidence that matters.

[@DewayneKimble]

Like I said in the video, the rater will have to look at all the evidence.

[@Jjames.098]

What if a doctor writes me a note for an emotional support animal? Is that evidence for my claim?
