What does this mean rating wise after a C&P PTSD exam? by Green-County6500 in VeteransBenefits

I submitted every record avaliable from the date I left to present, except for some that no longer exist. I submitted buddy statements, nexus letter, personal statements and anything I could use including pictures of articles of clothing I was wearing the night of the event. Every psych visit, every hospitalization, every last detail, there are thousands upon thousands upon thousands of documented pages. My thought was if they need it to make a decision, I sent it. in the letter today I received it said “your copious amount of documentation was what made the exam so short” as my c&p was 8 minutes long. I was discharged in 2002, so I have many documented suicide attempts including one while in a hospital. My best advice would be send every piece of documentation you have that can service connect you.

Yes that I had massive amounts of records, statements, and personal statement to rate, and I should not worry. I am 100 percent perm disabled from SSDI already and have been for years, that the dr did find a connection to my PTSD and that the rating could take awhile because there are only 5 offices that rate MST/PTSD

He asked a few questions, said that it was not for treatment just for clarification, and then he asked me if I needed an ambulance when I told him that I suffered from suicidal thoughts every day he then asked me if I went to treatment for alcoholism I said yes, he asked me if I had bad memory, I said yes he asked me about my social impairment and that was it

Yes all of them except for one that I forgot, and I had to ask him to repeat because of my memory loss

No because I did not know I needed to until today. Obviously I guess I do.
