As a veteran, if you know how to play your cards properly, you don’t deal directly with the VA unless you are getting a compensation and pension examination. You need a third party like DAV, VFW, or American Legion rep to help you.
Tip for people still coming to this video. I am rated for chronic back pain so I put in a claim for anxiety secondary to back pain. The ONLY evidence I put in my claim was a written letter. That’s it. I had no medical letters and no mental diagnoses. No therapy. No psychology/psychiatrist visits. After my C&P exam I was rated at 50% for the anxiety and that doesn’t include my other rated disabilities for my back. My point is you don’t have to come up with all of the evidence for a mental condition a lot of times. If you write an honest letter describing what you’ve been going through it is often enough because they don’t take mental issues lightly. Just make sure the letter is extremely well written, heartfelt and be completely honest with your problems.
Hi I have a question, I am currently waiting on the decision for my anxiety disorder. I was diagnosed in service but the dr didn’t ask me for a stressor. However the VA was telling me they’re looking for that. If I don’t have like one specific one to give them , because I have many does that mean they will deny it? Even though it’s in my records ?
@@UNKNOWN-le2tu I see what you mean, and of course it's hard to classify since every case is different based on any number of factors that cause the problems from PTSD Anxiety and a number of other problems too long to list. I mean it's overwhelming, and no one mentions most of it. What about us being typecasted into specific jobs, I mean look at all the people in aviation basically having no clue what to do during this pandemic and not knowing anything else thanks to their military background being nothing but aviation.
Thank you for watching, John - this was an older video where we were still upgrading equipment. Current videos have much better audio quality. Maybe we will redo this video and include even more information. Thanks again!
Health Anxiety is huge. My service has create so many ailments to my body physically that I have developed chronic anxiety. So, secondary will be my goal.
Anxiety is always a part of diagnosis especially illness that might have a bad prognosis. I have a 0% SC rating for pulmonary fibrosis ( both lungs ) , COPD and bronchiectasis - with secondary claims of anxiety , depression and chronic fatigue . Good luck I know how you feel .
I just wanted to say to anyone PREPARING to visit the VA or is in the military awaiting to be discharged, HOLD ON TO ALL YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS!!! Hold on to sick call slips from BASIC TRAINING/ AIT EVEN!! If you were give medication, hold those records as well! Also request your records from sick call if you have too. This will be your proof for any claim you place. I just visited the VA a little while ago & i had physical record of everything i had to see a doctor for. Im waiting for my next exam currently. Just wanted to help out!
I have 3 pages in my medical records that state I have hyperventilation syndrome, is that the same as anxiety attacks I hyperventilate and my heart takes of racing, I don't sleep well and when I do wake up I don't want to get out of bed.
@@ThePursuitofHappiness1988 I have 50% for anxiety. It is very hard to get 100% for PTSD/Mental Health.

Persistent danger of hurting self or others. Intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living (including maintenance of minimal personal hygiene).
Thank you for the video, very helpful. Quick question - can a LPMHC provide evidence to help my claim? I have been seeing one for a while but not an MD / psychiatrist

Hey how are you? Got question. I am 10% service connected for Tinnitus. At my C& P exam the Doctor told me I have moderate to substantial hearing loss and he advised me to file an additional clam for that. Additionally, I was also diagnosed for Hyperacusis and Migraines and have received Nexus letters for each. So, I just filed for both of them as secondary to my service-connected Tinnitus. Now during my C & P exam for Hearing loss the Doc told me he also said he agrees with my private doc and will rule in favor of me for the Hyperacusis and Migraines but he further said his opinion on the Migraines may not count because usually a C& P exam for Migraines are performed by a Neurologist. I will also be filing secondary claims such as Anxiety and Somatic stress disorder to My Tinnitus, Any thoughts ? Id love to hear your opinion. . Thank u
Dang glad to see I’m not the only one, I get anxiety so bad I can’t even start a regular job, I’ll just sit outside and never walk in, I just put my claim I hope it helps.
@bandman just stay on top of your appointments and dont let them lead you into oh your ok i feel great now. my symptoms come and go. but never have went away.
@@elite3324 I've had 100% for almost 30 years. First -Always keep going to treatment until you get "Permanent and Total" We Vietnam Vets used to hear about getting your rating dropped but never heard of it actually happening. They are trying to cut back on 100% claims because each generation will keep getting it and they'd rather spend their money on guns - much more sexy. Don't ever slack off on treatment.

I SWEAR to god the first one is me. I can’t be around people and it affecting me terribly...I’ve been to my doctor several times and the meds he put me on just knocks me out....so I don’t take anything and just deal with it. I’ve been retired for 18 years and didn’t go see a doctor until 8 years retired. I didn’t notice it until I stopped drinking. Is there help for me?
Hi Chuck, help is certainly available. There are great techniques you can implement alongside therapy that can be beneficial for you. Here's our latest video where a licensed psychologist goes over Anxiety and PTSD issues: ua-cam.com/video/vmWhYLbr7GY/v-deo.html
I have never filed for a claim. I do have Tinnitus. Anxiety and Depression started during my time stationed in Europe due to being in a shit unit surrounded by the worst people. Then I got stop-lossed at the very last minute and sent back to Iraq for a year. Over there my PTSD got worse, got it still today. That StopLoss screwed me bad. The Tinnitus has been a major contributor to my depression and sleeping troubles. My Medical Records don't have anything related to these issues, other than some Audiograms. How should I go about making a claim?
Here is an odd question for you. I have been writing poems about life, things in general. Some of those are fairly gloomy. Wonder if showing the darkest of these personal writings to the VA Doctor would help my case or not. I have an appointment coming up in several days.
I found in my records that a VA doctor placed an active "anxiety disorder" diagnose in my record in 2012 that I did not know about. The doctor prescribed me two depression pills that I eventually had a sedated reaction which is the reason why I stopped taking them. I took them because of my IBS issue. Maybe that's why she prescribed it to me. I have a 30% rating due to IBS. I've had IBS since 2001 when I was in the Army. I guess I could file for anxiety disorder?
I’ve had multiple cancer diagnosis that are service connected and I’ve been struggling with anxiety issues ever since. I’m seeking treatment from the VA for it. Is it worth putting a claim in for anxiety?
Even if you were not diagnosed during your active military career, you may still have a service connected mental health condition. I have linked more information here on VA Compensation for Mental Health Disorders www.hillandponton.com/va-compensation-for-ptsd-and-other-mental-disorders/
How do you show how your anxiety drove you out of work if you weren't terminated? I can show clearly how it caused one of my terminations and prevents me from driving a CMV now, but even restaurant work I tried I was just too overwhelmed all the time, almost always in a state of panic. If they asked my employer they wouldn't say "oh it was his anxiety causing him to leave" because they didn't get it. I explained multiple times to my bosses and they just don't get it. Is a lay statement enough for that? I already have a 70% rating, got that first time I applied. I'm just afraid that showing all of my short term jobs, diagnosis, and a lay statement from my fiancé isn't going to be enough. If the C&P exam is like my first one, I don't think the questions they asked really showed them how it affects me. I can talk to people about how I feel and explain it well, but I'm afraid they will take that to mean it isn't as severe as it is and deny my claim, since people at or near 100% a lot of times can't or won't talk a lot about it.
Greg, VA insider is top notch. I’m in appeals and go may 13th, now due to the corona it VA connect -video conference. If denied this time I’m going with va insider for round 3. Wish I’d known sooner and would have switched before appeals.. these folks r hot, u won’t regret it...
Yeah bro I cannot take it. I already have 50% physically so everything be getting bad. And they take sooo long with the range and as far as people that are over 50 I don’t understand WHY they take SO LONG holding them during appointments those people need money and assistance with meal planning. Their own family members can’t help them and you guys know it’s money. It’s sad because we do a lot of a little for vets. A very straight forward way as she said we don’t usually get those cases because during service they brush off all kinds of things just so you WONT get benefits after your enlistment which isn’t quite fair
Hi, I'm just now receiving mental health treatment, I'm 58 yrs old, but I don't have very much medical evidence for my Anxiety. What I do have is a long history of violent legal evidence. Can legal issues be used to prove you have a mental disorder?
Hi there, legal records could be used to try and establish a mental health claim. Another thing that helps when evidence is scarce, is to have loved ones, such as spouses, family members, long-time friends who knew you before service, to write a statement in support of your claim. They can talk about what you used to be like before service, what they think or know happened, and all of the differences they're seeing now in your mental state. Irritable? Angry? Short temper? Hypervigilant? Used to be life of the party, captain of the football team now doesn't want to see people and can't stand in line at the grocery store. That sort of thing. Real stories like this can really paint a picture and make a difference in a mental health claim.
I have anxiety and treat by the VA and have applied several times. I can function hardly and they keep denying my claim. I am ready to give up. They don’t care about us!
Do Not Give up. They want to see that you are serious and you are seeking treatment. I treated it as an investment in my future and it has definitely paid off
I have a 10% back disability and was going to file for secondary anxiety, but my psychologist who diagnosed me with anxiety said that even though she feels it is service connected that the VA won't award it because my primary disability is too low and that I need to increase that first before trying for anxiety? Is this true, do I need to wait? Even though the Dr thinks it is clearly connected. Thanks!
Hi Steve, I addressed your question in a different video. Sounds like it could be worth considering. You may want to reach out to a Veterans Service Officer near you who can help you get started and give you further guidance.
What if they prescribe you medication with your disability, but you don’t take the medication? If they find out that you decided not to take the medication, can that affect them giving you disability? Can they stop the money?
Hi Kelly, this is a question that we have submitted to our attorney to hopefully answer in an upcoming livestream video. Thank you for watching and please keep tuning in!

Dealing with the VA should at least get a %10 rating...
10% for each minute you have on hold. Then an extra 20% when they say they either lost your claim or it wasn't filled out properly
As a veteran, if you know how to play your cards properly, you don’t deal directly with the VA unless you are getting a compensation and pension examination. You need a third party like DAV, VFW, or American Legion rep to help you.
