[m.a.]

Thank you. Had my video C&P exam just waiting to hear back.

[Jmegr_Nemesis]

Thanks for sharing, Brian! I have my MH C&P in a few weeks in person, and I'm ready thanks to VACI!

[deeolivos]

thank you for this informative video, i have mine scheduled soon and im feeling super anxious and i can’t stop thinking about having to relive all those situations again along with talking about them. will continue to follow for more information and advice.

[TheJetbreaker]

I am 30% for MH....Depression. had a C&P for an increase, a few weeks ago. I was asked about my current situation like my family, friends and work. Not many questions just letting me talk. I don't recall them asking DBQ questions but my memory is shot anyway.

[williamstiggersws]

I've had three c&p exams already. My contracted counselor sent in his records and nexus letter. I been interviewed twice and about to have a third on the 18th.

[mkmiles]

My examiner did NONE of the things that you mentioned in this video. I was only asked about my stressers in the last 7 to 9min of the 1hr 40min appointment. He was more worried about dates of when my parents got divorced and why they got divorced and trying to figure out how to use the system that he was using for the appointment/exam.

[ralphsaldivar]

In the parking lot waiting for my exam ….., in 2.5 hours 🥶😓. Thx for pep talk

[damienbell]

Thx my interview is in couple of weeks. This helps out

[MissouriOzarkHillbilly]

At my C&P, the line of questioning that surprised me was about my parents and my childhood. I, of course, answered honestly. But keep in mind that painting a picture of abuse, neglect or an otherwise unhappy childhood may be used to absolve your time in service of any culpability. 100% P&T for Depression and Social Anxiety secondary to 30+ years of chronic back pain, FYI.

How does it work if you are on medication, and a lot of your symptoms go away. But if you go off medication for even a week you start falling apart and not eating, sleeping, and having suicidal thoughts? Would they still consider you not disabled because you are able to function as long as you are on powerful psychiatric medication?

[LazyAssel]

im currently at 70 percent i filed for an increase online by accident and tried to void the claim because i dont want risk them lowering it now im stressed out and dont know what to do

[misternobody]

Thank you for the information, how about if you're interview is by Zoom?

[Rickdat]

Thanks, it was very much worth hearing what you had say. I May have c & p coming up soon.

[sentineloffreedomforever]

I'm so dysfunctional I can't even figure out where to start I had several serious injuries in the military and my mental issues have been well documented throughout my life and work history I also have court-appointed psychiatric exams but can't seem to get the VA to do anything I also lose my temper instantly with them and get escorted out of the building

[TheRealPyxx]

6x times the increase, so if I am getting 40% at $755, and I get increased to 100% at $3700 then my increase is $3000, so your fee will be $18000.00??

[gregorywesley.stokes]

He is the man in the game for a reason. Excellent info Brian !

[lawxx]

A lot of comments I see about ptsd. I got my rating about 6 months from filing, I had a telehealth appointment, and rated 70% without needed to rebuttal.
Tip: practice putting into words the answers you want to say for questions they ask. The examiner has a small section to write per question.

[richardhogeland]

If seeking ptsd increase should you describe other mh dx affecting you since ptsd is rolled into everything

[skival]

I've been waiting over a year for my PTSD/depression C&P. The anxiety is killing me but I think I will be ready whenever they get to me, thanks to the videos.
