Posts: 4165 Aug 30 10 1:58 PM	Tags : ptsd, diabetes, depression, hypertension, asthma, military, back, ischemic, heart, guideline, guidelines, manual, clinical, amputation, lipid, tobacco, native, american, bipolar, kidney, obese Sometimes a person can find possibilities to incorporate into a claim by delving into various Clinical Practice Guidelines, Manuals, etc.. These might also help when someone is going to be evaluated whether for via a C&P or just regular visits. I have created a list of the strange and wonderful that are noted in various topics in VBN, the VA site, as well as elsewhere via search engines. Will they help? I don’t know. At least if someone does a search on VBN, this topic might show and offer additional aid(s). At the moment, not much appears when a search of the site is done. If anyone else knows possibilities not mentioned here, please feel free to post. ********************************************************************** PTSD INFORMATION, FOUND HITHER AND THITHER FOR THIS AND THAT Military Veterans PTSD Reference Manual: http://www.ptsdmanual.com/ Department of Veterans Affairs Best Practice Manual for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Compensation and Pension Examinations: http://www.avapl.org/pub/PTSD%20Manual%20final%206.pdf Wounded Spirits, Ailing Hearts (PTSD and the Legacy of War Among American Indian & Alaska Native American Veterans): - VA webpage of all links: http://www.ptsd.va.gov/professional/manuals/wounded-spirits-ailing-hearts.asp - Complete Guide: http://www.ptsd.va.gov/professional/manuals/manual-pdf/wsah/wsah-complete.pdf ******************************************************************* COMPENSATION & PENSION (also see C&P forum for the Worksheets for a C&P Exam) C&P Clinician’s Guide, 2002: http://www.vetshome.com/C-P-Exam.pdf ******************************************************************** CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES – MULTIPLE The following list is taken from the VA’s actual list of Clinical Practice Guidelines ( http://www.healthquality.va.gov/index.asp ).
