I recommend VetComm — most affordable, best results, and a company I trust → https://www.vetcomm.us/get-rated-xterrahealth/ "The difference between 70% and 100% isn't how sick you are. It's how you describe it. And most veterans describe it wrong." You can be absolutely destroyed by your mental health—barely functioning, barely holding it together—and still get rated at 70%. Not because you don't qualify for 100%. But because the words you used at your C&P exam didn't match what the VA is listening for. I've reviewed claims where veterans are clearly, obviously, totally impaired. Can't work. Can't maintain relationships. Can barely leave the house. 70%. Same level of suffering. Different outcome. Because of how it was described. Today, I'm giving you the blueprint. What the VA is actually looking for. The exact criteria. The symptoms that matter. And how to make sure your reality gets translated into a rating that reflects it. ABOUT DR.
