I was recently diagnosed with PTSD from a V.A. psychologist. It was from a deployment i did in the Marines in 1988 Korean DMZ i had three Life altering Traumatic events within 60 days on the DMZ. Almost died and caught pneumonia. Suffered through Stress of what we believed was an attack from the North Koreans. It turned out to be an explosion 💥 from a Training mishap. In our Artillery Battery.. it freaked us out and Marines were injured from that explosion 💥. We thought THIS IS IT! we're under attack from North Korea!! We flipped ! Ammo was low. All sorts of stuff was happening.. i still have Nightmares about those 60 days on the DMZ. I ALMOST FLIPPED OVER IN A FULLY Combat LOADED HOWITZER GUN TRUCK WITH EXPLOSIVES ON BOARD.. MY HEART ALMOST JUMPED OUT OF MY CHEST... STILL MESSES WITH MY MIND TIL THIS VERY DAY... IM NOT SERVICE CONNECTED YET FOR THIS CONDITION.. I EAS JUST RECENTLY DIAGNOSED AND IM TAKING MEDICATION TO HELP DEAL WITH THE ANXIETY. AND THE DEPRESSION AND BAD DREAMS... I GUESS I GOTTA FILE AN APPEAL NOW BECAUSE I WAS DENIED PREVIOUSLY FOR PTSD... ANYWAYS IM GLAD IM GETTING HELP FINALLY AND ALSO THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.
Just filed for PTSD after the VA doc said I had it based on my answers to the VA clinic intake process. I submitted the incident form containing three separate incident statements concerning multiple events, including incidents in the Gulf War (combat) and incidents while in Panama with Task Force Hawk (Operation Just Cause planning). Also former intel, working at a joint intel facility at the tail end of the Rwanda genocide and the final year of the Bosnian war. So much horrible imagery of bodies, mass graves, etc. Humanity really sucks... Anywho, I never wanted to file due to the stigma associated to PTSD. Also was a SSG, so not one to complain. Just needed to push through the pain. Now I wait and see what the VA has to say...
I had my PTSD C&P exam yesterday. I uploaded one of 2 stressors. It concerned a classified operation that I can't prove. The C&P examiner used it. He had great difficulty linking PTSD to the stressor. The other stressor (an assault with tear gas cannister)has solid medical evidence. The C&P examiner did not have access to it. I brought it with me, but the examiner had no interest in looking at it. It would have saved him the headache of linking it. I will probably be denied. What can I do?
You CAN AND SHOULD report a bad C&P exam to the VA immediately by calling 1-800-827-1000 and reporting it to the company that the C&P examiner works for (check your C&P exam paperwork). We’ve helped thousands of Veterans overcome a bad C&P exam and get a new exam before the VA rater issues a rating decision.

I am out for 30 years now and have been working with a VA certified Attorney. I am rated 80% right now and am waiting for BOA. I didn't receive a mental health exam or really a very good physical exam. I came out at 0%. I do lash out at my wife. I have had neck and back surgery and have told my wife at times I just wanted to go meet a semi. I actually had a motocycle accident 9 months prior to Nixon's birthday lottery which I happened to be number 9. My doctor told my mother I would never walk again. When I went to the MEPS that afternoon I was swearing into the Air Force. After retiring since they accepted me I figured I would stay and let them pay me for the rest of my life. That's where we are. I don't sleep have obstructive sleep apnea, memory loss. I don't like to be around people. Don't know if you can help since I am dealing with an Attorney.
Wow Byron, we hate to hear one of our brothers is in need of some serious help! Unfortunately, while you keep your attorney in retainer, we cannot assist. But feel free to reach out if you need help after you have used your attorney! Good Luck!

Hello, I ran across your site and have a few questions. I was deployed to Kabul Afghanistan in 2016, when I got home I filed a claim for breathing problems, and was denied, while I was there they made me take a US Army APFT. After that test, the next day I couldn't hardly breathe, it felt like fire when I tried to breathe in and out, I went to the TMC and they gave me medicine, nasal spray, etc. From that time I have sinus problems, but haven't seen a doctor other then when I was in Afghanistan, I have documentation. I enrolled in burn pit. Registry. And they sent me a letter in August stating that I was eligible. What do I do now, do I need to re file the claim or have it set up by the VA for them to examine me, I need guidance, thanks
@@user-mx8ly9mi4w The air quality in Kabul is absolutely terrible, more Afghans die from respiratory issues than anything else. Life expectancy there is mid fifties at best. I spent 2.5 years there, PT was no fun.

I went to the Veterans Services office in the Municipal Building of my county (Manatee, Florida). The retired Marine gave me a form for PTSD Compensation. It's like 3 or 4 pages. Just fill it out in your own words. Nothing fancy. Just write down what your experience was. That's what I did 9 years ago for what I experienced in Vietnam (drafted). He then sent it to the VA. Very simple. Maybe now you can do it online. No big deal.
@@namvet1968 21 Years Navy Veteran…Been retired for 90 days!!!! New to the process as well. I was diagnosed with PTSD by my PCM. Completed a questionnaire that arrived in the mail by FEDEX with a lot of questions…I have a psych appointment in a month regarding the diagnosis and claim.

Hello Donald Martin Are you trying to increase your current VA Rating and compensation?

Nobody from VA claims insider will respond to me. I asked this same question on another video.
Lets say for a PTSD diagnosis, you had 2 symptoms that fall in 100%, 3 at 70%, 5 at 50% and 6 at 30%. How would they figure out what to assign you?
