Thanks for the response. I've been seeing neurology for 8 months post TBI. I've tried multiple prophylatic treatments and nerve blocks. Still not controlled. I'm currently waiting on my NARSUM rebuttal. MEB doc did t find them unfitting since there was no profile even though I asked for one...

Did you request a fit for duty exam yourself fron the neurologist? Or did they do it on there own accord

Doubtful. I'm Army, we also use genesis and mine were uploaded to tri care online. TOL is still used for that purpose apparently even after the "switch" to MH Genesis

Nice I've finished all appointments over 2 weeks ago. Still waiting on two providers to send there stuff in so I can get a narsum. Hopefully soon.

Crazy. I've liked all the providers QTC gave me. But only one DBQ uploaded and my last appointment is Thursday. Its been 7-10 days since MH and head to toe with no DBQ.

Odd you're on fort hood and they didn't use QTC to contract your appointments? I've got my last exam in a couple days so far no real complaints. Providers seem fine but we will see how the DBQ's come out. Taking awhile to upload them to TOL apparently

Thankfully the same psychiatrist that did my MH did my TBI same day back to back appointments. He basically integrated them into one.

Who do I contact about my mental health C&P still not being uploaded on TOL? Its been almost 2 weeks.

Is there a specific form to upload with evidence in support of a more favorable rating?

I'm about to start my C&P exams. Is there a way for us to upload additional evidence for the raters? If so can you do it prior to the C&P or have to wait until after the exam?

Jan 28 P3 initiated Feb 6 th peblo brief Feb 15th submitted all claims through MSC to va Waiting on exams now

I put a handful of things on my claims list that I haven't specifically been seen for. For example I put my hip pain and right knee pain. Which are secondary to my compartment syndrome because I constantly limp around. MSC said if I haven't been seen for them VA docs won't service connect & rate...

Awesome. Appreciate the input.

From my understanding is the msc middle man's it. We still put down on the form or tell the msc what we want to claim. That's more of what I meant. No me submitting my own outside claims. Don't believe that's even possibly while still on AD

Good morning, Early in the IDES process. I'm about to start submitting my claims. My question is, is it better to put down "foot pain" if you don't have a specific diagnosis/haven't been seen for it yet? Or put flat feet? Or put the medical term for it?

How hard was it to get migraines added? I've got a good case (failed 3 different prophylatics, only semi controlled by ONB once a month for 5 months currently still get 1-2 migraines per week) just trying to get an idea of the up hill battle. Seen a lot of people on here struggle to get...

Prior to tbi I had mild to moderate anxiety a depressive week every so often (1 week out of 3 months or so) very mild compared to the symptoms that came on roughly 1-2 months post tbi.

Psychiatrist basically said any manic I experience isn't long enough or far enough above base line so he labeled it "bipolar depressive". And said not BPD since symptoms only began 8-10 months ago directly after TBI occurred

No, when speaking to the psychiatrist he labeled it bipolar depressive. And justified it by saying I "never go full manic I get a week of extreme energy doing every small to large task on my mind, staying up all night for multiple days doing house projects or work, then back down into a...

What do you mean by "The catch is that major depressive episodes can not be diagnosed if the episodes are better attributable to a medical condition (like TBI)" can I not be diagnosed with bipolar if my tbi is the root cause of the depressive episodes?
