ptsd 100% T&p Redused For Not Using Va?
I don't know if this is the right forum or not but I have always used the VA for Psychiatrist and always used outside Psychologist even before my claim was decided. Although I did have to stay in their psych ward last year, I have ptsd and bipolar. If I only had PtSD I could stick with the VA has med changes don't need to made often after the cocktail is worked out. But with Bipolar I am a rapid cycler and I cycle about every 6-8 weeks. It takes to long to make appointments, and my last leg of going to someone outside for meds was when I had to call the crisis line. So I want continue to see this outside NP for meds since I can see her every 3 weeks as we try to get this …

Do I Have The Ability To Claim And Benefits?
Hey All. I served active duty in the coast guard about 10 years ago. I was only in for about 10 months and then honorably discharged with 'unsuitability' as the code (Long story, but I was a Jew stationed in the deep south- Didnt go well for me and I took the option to leave early when offered to me by the CO via a honorable discharge) My question is, Do I qualify for any Benefits such as a VA Loan, GI bill, etc.. I apologize in advance as I know this forum is primarily for disability claims which obviously I dont have a claim for. Thanks

Wife Was Denied Twice. Just Found Evidence This Past Weekend. Please Assist.
Hello all! My wife was in Desert Shield/Storm. She hurt her back while serving during that time. She even was on quarters (in her tent) because of this injury.

She also had a statement from another soldier that served with her that was a witness. They still denied her. Proper documentation was not documented because we were at war. She injured her back while making sandbags and carrying and exposing human waste. Well, this past weekend while looking through storage containers for pictures, she found an of…

Avasical Necrosis
I was diagnosed with avasical necrosis in my left arm, the bone has died an I need a complete shoulder replacement. I don't have none of symptoms that cause this which is blood lost to that joint. Ortho specialist stated that it could happen because of ddd I have in my back, lower an upper spine. I injured my back while i was in the military, do you think I will be able to claim this avasical necrosis now that's associated with my ddd? Also they found an ossified old rupture dics in C5-C6 that is just now giving me fits. Can an old injury be claim thats not in your medical records? Any opinion will be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
