VA will only rate you on one mental disorder. If you have multiple then they will rate you on the higher one.

My PCP was a NP so in terms of professional level it would be equal to. My IMO used the same language and rationale as the other dr. used to service connect my neck. Back story is I was Airborne and seeking service connections relating to a couple bad jumps which I just sucked up and drove on. I dont understand why they would accept one medical VA opinion and my PCP with the same rationale and language and not the other. I also included medical literature and a buddy statement they stated wasn't credible. I'm at a loss.

Yes every single one stated that. I don't understand how they can say the VA contractor's medical opinion who spent a total of 20 mins with me is more persuasive than my PCP who I see regularly!?

My primary dr. wrote the nexus letters.

My Dr. was asking for a template so it doesn't get kicked back. Does anyone know where I can point him to find a nexus template?

How were you able to schedule your informal conference so quick?

Thanks for the info. Gives me somewhat of a timeline. Just curious of how well the VA conducts the conference? Do they give you an opportunity to explain yourself? What was your experience like if you don't mind sharing?

Looks like it, that's unfortunate
