How VA prevents you from getting a higher PTSD rating. #vadisabilitybenefits

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.

Thanks for the info. Sucks that we have to see the V.A as the enemy.

Your the best lawyer when it comes to dealing with the VA. You folks at Hill & Ponton set the bar. Thanks for all that you do for us👌🏻

[GGFLy]

Listen to this man they literally did this exact same thing to me today in real time…………. And I had to shift the conversation so we could focus on the exact things he just mentioned

[michaelborrego]

This is SO TRUE!!! TOOK 3 times at C&P exams to get it right.

[mh]

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.

Thanks to you all I was successful with doing my own claims. Can't thank you enough!

[nickgerr]

Gonna try and submit for mental health / anxiety

[shelby]

I am getting my testing tomirrow, found this video at the most perfect time. I do have problems with most of the other issues you mentioned. Thank you!!❤

[julielee]

I got lucky & got 70% for my PTSD because of those exact other things you mentioned!!!

[Red]

True. That happened to me. 30% I appealed and now waiting for their decision. 4 CnP evals for PTSD.

[durrelllee]

So true, after talking about my childhood for 3 minutes we talked and my nightmares for the rest of the time pretty much. 30%

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

[brianflynn]

Thank you Sir, probably have one coming up .

[johannahmoran]

They only gave me 30%
You are correct …..
Meeting with my Claims Rep tomorrow…

[dingomankam]

i got 50% ptsd and it shows in my everyday life i hate it. its embarrassing

[christopherivy]

Hill and Ponton was my representation with my VA appeal and claims sense 2017.

Lack of communication
Constant lawyer changes
Illegal fees charged to veterens

I recommend trying other resources . She comes off as nice but her office is incompetent.

[JustAnotherJarhead]

THE rating criteria is crystal clear in the VASRD.
If vet doesn't at least READ the criteria for the exam, then ots totally on them for not being prepared.

[RiverBottomWarrior]

Thankful to your team for referring me to Bosley & Bratch. Was able to get what I deserve finally and start focusing on rebuilding my life.

[KendrasEdge]

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 🤦‍♂️

[calidecali]

If you're 11B and been in combat you'll get 70 to 80% easy. Took me 3 months to get my rating.
