I don't know if this is the right forum but I was reading and decided to seek information regarding my situation. In 2007 I was hospitalized in Perry Point, Md. with a diagnosis of severe PTSD. I attended an intense program to help me. I finished that and was told to put in a claim for the dx. I did so and never got anything back from the VA. I moved to another state and asked a VSO to check into the claim and found out that my claims had been included with the Haas V Nicholson case (Blue Water Navy). It didn't matter that I had submitted evidence that i had been in country and had been diagnosed with the PTSD. Eventually I was told by my VSO that I had been denied my claim for PTSD and I had waited too long to appeal. The problem is that I had proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had been in country. (DD214 +DD215 with orders and medals and previous stressors submitted.) After consulting with a local Congressman's office and getting a disability rating for one of the presumptive illnesses, the VA still has not even mentioned the PTSD. I have sent in a notice of disagreement in that regard however they denied that as well. Recently I went through another intensive 8 week course at a local VA for PTSD again and was determined to have gotten worse. I am wondering what else can I do to get some kind of decision on my case. I submitted the results of the latest hospitalization findings to the VA again. Any information or suggestions that anybody can give will be highly appreciated. Thanks
