*Bergie* Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hello All, I received a Combat Certificate from the 1st Air Cavalry when I was discharged from Nam in 1971. Does that certificate qualify as a CIB for compensation purposes for PTSD. I have no idea what a "combat certificate" is. Combat is established by receipt of the "combat action ribbon" (CAR) or CIB, which is listed on my DD214. You don't have to have combat exposure to have PTSD. Many have it due to service connected experiences. I recommend you see a psychiatrist or psychologist and work through them to develope service connection. Good luck, Bergie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Gate, No it does not relax stressor criteria as would a CIB. jmho, carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 It is not on the list of automatic stressors, however, it would serve as prove of your stressor should it be combat related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted December 15, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) The answer is still no. You posted this question on 12/8/09: http://www.hadit.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33116 Your best way to secure proof is to request after action reports and daily journals, for your unit, for your period of service, in VN. They are located at the National Archives in College Park, MD. It'll cost a little but the reward will be well worth it. pr Hello All, I received a Combat Certificate from the 1st Air Cavalry when I was discharged from Nam in 1971.

carlie Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 http://www4.va.gov/vetapp09/files3/0923793.txt As an initial matter, the Board notes that the Veteran's service personnel records reflect that he served as a light weapons infantryman in the United States Army in Vietnam between December 1967 and December 1968, and that he was awarded, among other decorations, the Combat Infantryman Badge (C.I.B.). The C.I.B. is indicative of combat service, and, therefore, the Veteran's claimed stressors need not be verified. See 38 C.F.R. § 3.304(f) (2008).
