Question

I'm still working on getting all my stuff together to file my claim. My therapist told me it would be great if i could get documentation of treatment rcvd outside of the VA. well, seeing how i have been pushing the issue aside for 20 years, i never kept records. just out of curiosity, i called the insurance company i had with fedex at one point. they had a record of a referral from 2000. wooohoooo! now if i could just remember who fedex used in the mid 90s....it just made my day to hear them say they had that pc of paper. after all these years, i may get some long over due relief. its almost as if my pain has been validated.

How long have you been out of the military? What is your disability? Have you had continuity of treatment since military? Do you have documentation in service?

These are just some of the issues that VA uses to grant claims.

Its not that bad PTSD is a horse of a different color most of your fellow vets here are very knowledgble in that area but I am not one of them. You are headed in the right direction this is a marathon and its all about preperation and that starts with evidence. The PTSD heavyweights are watching and the will speak up when you need them. Good Luck!

I don't make the rules. The VA does. I could have boosted you up but that would have been wrong of me to do. Just posting some facts dude.

Didn't mean to ruin your excitement.

Do you have a documented stressor while you were in the service?

Is your PTSD documented in your SMRs? If so, that's a HUGE help. If not.........eek.

With the lack of continuity in your medical/mental health care for PTSD it will likely pose a problem.

Do you have your SMRs? If not, you need to get them....first thing to do.
