This is my first claim… got out in 2013. I denied having ptsd forever because I thought accepting and admitting it would make me less of a man… according to the VA’s rating schedule, my symptoms should qualify me for 70%… possibly %100… my C&P examiner was hot garbage. She spent the whole appointment talking over me and telling me that all my symptoms are related to sleep apnea and not ptsd… so do you guys think I should do an HLR or just file for increase?
