  1. 70 percent for ptsd just recently given as service connected. I also have a claim for severe sleep apnea, have diagnosis, letter from spouse,brother and fellow Marine. What else can help my case

  2. Had my c&p exam for PTSD. at the end of the exam my Doctor said she was submitting my behavioral health case for 100% PTSD she also said I will be able to work so I sure hope she stays true to her word on that one. I definitely wasn’t expecting that but very grateful because I’m our darkest hour the VA won’t bat an eye

  3. I want to bring my wife(who is also a board Certified Family Practice
    Physician) to my PTSD C&P exam – and when I bring her in, I want to
    introduce her as a Doctor. Would this hurt me, or would this make them
    take me more seriously and not mess around with the exam?

  4. My doctor at the VA received my blood work and my Vitamin D was at 14. He told it's supposed to be in the 40's. I told him my PTSD won't allow me to go outside and hangout with the sun. He ordered me the supplement. Great video CC!

  5. I’m at 70 for ptsd but overall 90% trying to get 100 have gotten worse as for ptsd but honestly don’t know how to explain it have a increase c&p coming up in a week I need guidance

  6. This pssssss me off. I've been struggling for so long, been in combat, ptsd classes, cpt classes just to ask why I have seen combat, seen people die, my life threatened with death and I get 70% because I work construction. Yet, some joe shmoe who piloted a drone and dropped a bomb, gets 100%?????? The reason why some vets don't even bother, who's di** am I supposed to suck?

  7. Appreciate you very much… I'm at 90 percent now but going for tdiu because I'm unable to work because of my disabilities.. haven't worked in over 4 years and had nearly two hundred in 26 years after being discharged from USMC… thank you for sharing All you do!

  8. Im at 50% for my PTSD rating, how do i go about increasing this.
    In all honesty i am jist suffering this alone, i just push it all away but have lost my wife and relationship with my daughter. I dont go to the doctor as i am in Germany and the translation aspect of it is hard

    What should i do to get an increase?

  9. I have every one of those things hiding in the basement divorce came home to a wife that was cheating on me and that got me a good old fashion 5150 and put inside a road rage with the cops. It’s almost like you’re talking about my life lol

  10. I just found out the VA or someone filed a claim to (increase) me for mental health after a hospitalization. But I’m already 90% P&T TDIU. How can this happen without my request?

  11. Obviously you cant guarantee but with your personal opinion what do you think. I dont want to waste my time trying. I have a records showing I was attacked and had my jaw broken during service. Before this i was diagnosed with dysthymia and the jaw braking incident led to worsen mental health, also my chain of command handled it horribly. Denying me sickcall and forcing me to do pt while my jaw was hanging from my face the following day after it was broken before I could even see a doctor(luckily the hospital did give me pain medication though the day before) with that information do you think ill qualify easily? It's all on record while in service except the denial part that likely isnt because they wouldnt incriminate themselves obviously. I also had a pattern of BH visits in the past showing that with good leadership I exceeded and with poor leadership I faltered or became depressed which I believe I what led to the bh professional diagnosing me with dysthymia and trying welbutrin

  12. I mean for me even though I have my stories of times I've fantasized ending it all, I'm sure that there's a specific way that the VA needs to hear this because I could say it, doesn't mean it's the way that unlocks the care and benefits I need and deserve.
