Well, crap
This landed today, (128 days, btw. Went from 5 to 6 after 68 days, then 8 and complete in like 6 hours) apparently I poked the bear.
I called the local VSO to get assistance with a supplemental claim. VSO put in a bunch of issues for me and I did a slew of testing. The PTSD assessment was super short and the only thing I can think of that would support this was when I said: “The Paxil helps.”
I went through the original rating letter and compared against the criteria in this rating. There’s a bunch of stuff from the original rating that was never discussed (rituals, difficulty with stress, social impairment, panic attacks, you know: all the stuff that really messes up being a functional adult outside my home office). I really don’t think the QTC (?) assessor was thorough or, frankly, all that interested in actually doing the interview.
Does anyone know if I can request a reassessment, or am I stuck with just the higher level review?
