All, hoping for some thoughts. I was put on PDRL in 2013 for PTSD, 50%. I had my first re-eval in 2018, and was continued at 50%, which I believe was correct. Not reallly better, not really worse, despite 2 years of counseling.
I just got a call for another re-eval, just a year later. My understanding is every 3-5 years is normal. I called the VA, and after just 35 minutes on hold, was told that the contractor doc from last year recommended a 1 year re-eval. He never mentioned that to me, and the re-eval last year was very perfunctory, less than 20 minutes. 15 of which he spent talking.
I am afraid that he wrote something about me not really deserving 50%, even though that criteria matches my life almost exactly to this day. I do hold down a complex job (pilot), but I still fight with this the same since OIF in 2006, and am pretty worried I'm about to get railroaded.
I'd appreciate if anybody has been through or has any insight. Thanx in advance.
