All:

I am a post-Viet Nam vet who was a Cold War intelligence analyst for two life-threatening years. I have several diagnoses of chronic and severe PTSD, a diagnostic nexus that it is service-connected, a letter of support from someone I was stationed with, a GAF score of 35 from the C&P exam, and two VA hospitalizations for PTSD. (I worked at a base under threat from Basque terrorists, with the occasional riot, threat from US marines etc. thrown in for variety.)

Here's my question----how long does it take for the C&P folks to make a decision? I filed in July of 2000, my C&P exams were in October.

Does the hospitalization make any difference to my claim? Does it improve or hurt it?

Please respond to my email address.

Thank you,
