I was diagnosed with PTSD and sent to the PTSD clinic in Montrose NY Sept 0f 2015 they never let anyone into that clinic unless they are diagnosed with PTSD and they believe (the unit) that it may be service connected I filed a claim in Aug of 2015 and was denied in Jan 2016 although I never saw paper work on denial SSOC I was granted zero percent for a migraine. 1.

Greetings to all, For some time, I have sat in the background and monitored selected issues. Well now, I have an issue and am looking for some input based on experience (actually or case), knowledge, and just overall feedback. Current rating is 80%, with the majority being PTSD. Out of the service since the end of 2004. Most recently, diagnosed with sleep apnea six months ago (not overweight), in relatively decent shape. Two weeks ago diagnosed with a Bankhart Lesion (Hills-Sach), right shoulder - Primary Diagnostic Code: MAJOR ABNORMALITY. Regarding the sleep apnea, I know it can you connect to PTSD as secondary.

I am currently rated at 20% for a service-connected shoulder injury (helicopter accident). I'm about to send in my disability paperwork for PTSD and sleep apnea. I have a letter from my civilian doctor (general practitioner) that states that my VA diagnosed Sleep Apnea is as likely as not related to my VA diagnosed PTSD. I'm curious to know if I should include this letter with my initial disability application or wait until after the C&P exam which will probably not service connect the sleep apnea. Thanks Mike

Not sure what's causing this but it only happens on HADIT. Whenever I type or scroll up and down or even going from Forem to Forem, I have to wait for like 30 sec. for it to compute. Any suggestions? <Coot>

I ran into a former employee (also a Veteran) he received his 100% rating and they paid him back pay from his service date, I want to say he got out about 15 years ago. I told him I had just filed for PTSD with secondary of MST, he informed me I should receive back pay to my military days is there any truth to that.\?

My computer is high performance, Windows 10. The scripts on Hadit servers cause my computer to lag with high CPU use. It works with anything needing high performance, like combat flight simulators. Just Win10 can't handle too much scripting and ads. I know it is beyond the control of Hadit website, as the servers run the ads. it is very difficult to type in the forums with high CPU usage. FYI
