sgmdae Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 With my experience, a stressor letter is a seperate typed or hand written letter about your experiences in combat, that causes you extreme stress. It becomes part of you supporting information packet. I see no reason why you can write of type on a VA form 21-4138 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I asked this question is because my psychologist asked to see my letter at our last Pow wow at the vet center. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Is a stressor letter the same as a Statement In Support Of Claim Va form 21-4138 ? Bill No it isn't - BUT you can write and submit your stressor letter information on a 21-4138/ Statement in Support, if you want. Additionally - there are more specific forms one can use such as a PTSD Questionnaire, and if I remember right there's another one also. carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoggie2 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Is a stressor letter the same as a Statement In Support Of Claim Va form 21-4138 ? Bill In my opinion a "Stressor letter" in a letter that lends support to an incident that you personally were there to experience/witnessed a certain situation you might have been expose to that is mainly to cause/trigger your health condition you may be experiencing..and to to be no longer than one page if you can help it. The longer it is the less chance they will read it...... Good luck Yog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
