Great job!!!
Good point in how the VA rates you depending on how many symptoms you have instead of how severe your symptoms are. That point just made me realize I was underrated for my PTSD.
ANYBODY LIKE ME That joined and stayed in knowing pain hurts your everyday life just has to remember to get on forget about everybody else
I thought. What I was dealing with both mentally and physically were normal and everyone felt the same way.
I’m currently being seen by a VA doctor for my anxiety and depression. Could that be used to file for an increase?
I was a 13B field artillery for 5 years dealt with a lot loud booms an sending Big Rounds Down Ramge in the Army I think I have anxiety or PTSD wake up at nights reliving memories an very extremely jumpy an on edge anytime my wife touches me in the bed or when I hear noises the Wife been telling me something's wrong so I think I need to get checked out been out since 2011 just kept ignoring signs
The VA has requested me to provide them with my ptsd stressor. What should I do and how do i handle it? Want to make sure it is done right? Have 8 days left to respond.
You literally described my situation
Around 14:30 in the video the a list of symptoms severity, frequency and duration come up. After that comment at 14:48 2 cases are referenced about this subject. Can you tell me the names of those cases please?
I have been trying to get my VA disability for 17 years and I have a medical discharge listing anxiety and depression as the reason for separation or discharge on my DD 214. How do I get my disability? I have been denied disability 3or4 times already.
Feel sorry for American Veterans your VA is such a watered down government organisation, if you serve your country you should be looked after. Anxiety is one symptom for PTSD, I'm blown away this is treated as a new discussion topic considering we have just come out of the longest war in history. Looks like VA are tip toeing on this one.
I experienced some of this too! It can be scary. I hope and pray God help you. I pray and trust the Lord help me everyday. If it wasn't for Christ, I wouldn't make it.
I was diagnosed with anxiety and was even prescribed medication for it while on active duty. I included anxiety in my fully developed claim the day I got out, however, the VA did not service connect me for anxiety at all. Sad day .
Likewise comrade...
Appeal that decision, dont give up!
unlike most comments ive read from everyone you have an actual claim.
Doe’s anxiety have to be a specific event from active duty?
I want to increase my rating for anxiety. I have a 50% rating right now. I got hit with GAD. but I get panic attacks alot and its making school really hard. I have to leave the classroom and hide in the bathroom cause I think I'm having a heart attack and am about to die. some days I'm so exhausted or feel so "wrong" that I can't leave the house. How am I supposed to get, keep, and hold a job like this? I think I'm screwed. I tried setting up an appointment with the VA for therapy but got the run around and I don't really trust the va past the paycheck. the doctors just throw drugs at you and hope you will commit suicide so you arent a problem anymore.
@RobertLeeland, We're sorry to hear you have been going through a hard time. If you are seeking to file for an increased rating, we recommend working with a Veteran Service Organization(VSO), such as our colleagues at the Disabled American Veterans (DAV). They can be reached at )859)441-7300
dude, if you really do have an anxiety disorder and suffer from panic attacks then why would you refuse treatment? why would you not seek help from a mental health provider va or not? why not get counseling? you claim to have been suffering from this but yet you dont want help other than money. money isnt going to cure your anxiety disorder. if you are anxious because you dont have money then thats not the va's fault. ive never met someone with a mental disorder say they dont want help for their disorder and i have been in a lot of psychiatric facilities and behavioral health groups.
Can Vet be rated for anxiety if the anxiety is brought on or caused as result of rated injury/disability?
Yes
can one claim anxiety as secondary to toxic exposure?
@Tom C Thanks for your question! A condition resulting from toxic exposure could certainly lead to a veteran developing symptoms of an Anxiety disorder.
Hello my appeal was denied for PTSD agoraphobia anxiety depression and panic attacks I have 2 current diagnoses one from my VA doctor and one from when I went to my C & P exam the examiner's diagnosis was the same as my doctor's so I also had that in my favor but the reviewer of my claims said I didn't have a extended treatment history even though I was in a VA program for my disability so I wanted to know can your firm represent me and file a higher level review for me.

So is anxiety in the same classification as dysthymic.
I been applying anxiety disorder, I always get denied.
Get a DBQ and Nexus Letter to service connect.
You need a lawyer to fight a lawyer. Got tired off being denied time after time especially when you’re not in the right state off mind.
how much would i need to justify my anxiety since mine was caused due to being admin separated from the military about 3 years in and getting separated due to BCA failure almost made me feel like a failure since even the military could keep in and has still affected me now havent been seen at all since its something i recently realized i need to stop holding it in, just feel like it may not be a good enough reason to get it rated. any help would be grateful!
Can you please list the two cases mentioned in this podcast? I’d like to look at these for myself. Thank you.
I have bipolar schaphrinia high anixity sever depression and anti social disorder and I can’t work because I see and hear things with my bipolar my mania keeps me from focusing on things
Hola pero llo estoy ene tijuana B.C

Can the veteran survivor's qualify for the anxiety and depression benefits?
no
How do you request the copy of your VA examination?
@Mermaid Mia, that is a great question. Generally speaking, there are a few ways in which you can obtain a copy of your exam. Check them out here: cck-law.com/blog/how-get-copy-va-c-p-exam#:~:text=To%20get%20a%20copy%20of%20the%20final%20report%20from%20your,a%20copy%20on%20your%20behalf
call veteran affairs compensation @ 1800 827 1000
Thank you for your help 👍🏾
Ok
Does everyone get an exam who files for anxiety?! I filed recently and I’m waiting for them to schedule an exam for me.
@B Rob, Compensation & Pension (C&P) exams are generally used to determine if there is a nexus between the veteran’s current, diagnosed condition and their time in service.cck-law.com/blog/news-va-disability-ratings-for-anxiety/
Did they schedule an exam for you?
Does PTSD have to only relate to combat or sexual abuse related trauma?
To determine your disability rating for PTSD, VA uses the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders under 38 CFR § 4.130. Check out our blog for more information:cck-law.com/blog/how-to-prove-ptsd-to-va
@Sergio It can be for physical assault, car accidents and other things
Has your firm handled anyone who was hypnotized while in service and as a result has been diagnosed with panic disorder by the VA?
What you guys need too focus on. Is the sudden stop after giving you pills for let’s say say a decade. And now the v.a days no mas. File a class action suit. I can do it on my own. But imagine all the veterans stuffed with benzos for years and now the v.a stops. It? I can’t get anxiety medication anymore without taking a piss test.
Va steps benzodiazepines ???? Thats the treatment for ptsd. My husband has been on benzodiazepines for 25 years. For service connected ptsd. It should be noted that suicide rates and killings are now on the rise. How dare the VA deny veterans this medication? I now wonder how many suicides and killings are NOT being reported..? It is obvious the VA is unaware of the harm they are causing. Typical of the way the VA operates. My husband has all the signs and symptoms you have discussed. Shame on the VA. This is malpractice!!
Jan RN they took away my benzos fought to get them back. Only way I could leave my house. But I also see a lot off therapist and shrinks.
i will never take benzos. i have schizoaffective disorder depressive type. and along with other symptoms. i will never take benzos because i know they are addictive and i refuse to do anything addictive. i was once addicted to caffeine and it pissed me off so i quit cold turkey. had severe headaches for a month. i started smoking cigs and after 2 years of that i quit cold turkey. the cravings made me want one and i flat out refused my body and the shakes, cravings, anything that said smoke again. i hardly ever drink alcohol. when i was in the marines i drank only on new years night celebration. if my dr tried to give me benzos i would tell him i do not want them. one time i got drunk when i was a teen and lost motor functions and i hated not being in control of my body. i hated not having control of my body.
someone who says they are suicidal with no proof they are are doing it for the money. people who have attempted will get noticed and sent to the hospital, if you really are suicidal you will end up in the hospital on a hold. even if it takes a decent period of time before you end up in the hospital, or you have sucessfully attempted suicide. people who screams the loudest that dont think they need help or want to lose their rights seemingly shows they can manage their lives. every vet that ended up in a psychiatric hospital or ward inpatient against their will are receiving benefits without judgement, for in a psychiatric hospital or ward you are observed, taking medication for your symptoms, and you talk to the psychiatrist about your diagnosis.
Sounds like PTSD..
kenndeaux317 it is

Where does anger issues fall under, you don’t touch on it!
Va is garnishing my social security. I was drugged, made to sign legal papers committing myself, attacked, threatened after i went to seek ptsd counselling.
Ya sure
Can u claim for major depression and anxiety
Tony Armstrong my lawyers sent my case to the vboa. 3 years later they granted my major depressive disorder to military service also chirrosus off liver as secondary ( self medication ) starting in service and also sleep apnea due to service connected and remanded 4 others to the va for reconsideration. So yes. You need a nexus and a lawyer.
YEAH RIGHT! I'll get my team of ATTORNEYS RIGHT ON IT? WTF. This is almost as frustrating as having to deal with those BUMS at the VA who do not give a crap.
LOST my medical records for my knee WTF ♠️😂🤮
VA has the records..ask for your Claims File
why do veterans have the highest rate of psychological disabilities? you didnt have a mental disorder while in the service. when i went to the navy hospital balboa psych ward i didnt see many mental patients there. when i went to my behavioral health appointments i didnt see many mental patients there. but yet most are trying to claim depression and anxiety. disorders. do you have intrusive thoughts? do you constantly worry about non existant things? anxiety is unwarranted worrying. most of you all admit you dont seek help for your mental disorders and dont want medications for them either. im not saying that your disorder isnt real. im just saying that how can you prove you have the disorder if you dont even seek treatment for said illness. half of you are trying to correlate a mental disorder to something as if you are a doctor. if you have the disorder go to a doctor and let the doctor make that connection. im not talking out of my ass either. i was reevaluated at 100% in 3 months without a lawyer using the va system. sure you can get copies of your records but without current records all you have are how you used to be like. the va reevaluates people after a period to see if the condition still exists and still effects you the same.
PSDT since 1969 WTF 💀⚰️♠️ & A LOT of TOXIC water 💧🏴☠️
