I have been and am currently 30% PTSD diabled since 2004.

Filed for IU March 2009 (PTSD) due to increased severity unable to work

C&P Exam (PTSD) June of 2009

C-file returned for another C&P and Examiners opinion as to iu and if could work.

Attended C&P Sept for the Examiner to review and retest.

Examiner stated' "As requested by the board, opinion the Veteran's symptoms are more likely than not a result of events experianced during military active duty. (He is referring to my tenure in Viet Nam combat.)

Further: RO request opinion reference ability to work (IU).

"Unemployabilty" Veteran is unable to return to workplace even with minimal public contact and minor supervision due to poor attention and concentration and short term recall.

The veteran is not able to handle own affairs without his wifedue to poor concentration.

Prognosis: Poor

Recommendations: Needs PTSD medication and counseling.

Also , in c-file is a letter from my personal counselor of four years, letter from my doctor regarding increased anti-deprssion meds and a VA form staing I resigned four years ago due to "inability to retain information.

There is some sort of cut off for a 5 year application for SSA- it is explained at the SSA web site-

It doesn't pay to wait-I recdall it was appl;ication must be made within 5 years after last employment- could be wrong-

best to get this application done and into hands of SSA.

JOHN1,

Never give them an original copy.

Now if it relates to a Birth Certificate, Marriage, Divorce or

Adoption documents - go obtain and provide them with Certified

or Raised Seal copies.

There is NO AGENCY that I would hand my original of anything over to.

jmho,

My local VA rep stated Va would only accept the original because I had it completed myself by the employer.

John

Starting to wonder about my rep?

JOHN1,

Bolderdash I say - with some smelly, stinky BS on top of it.

That's about like someone telling you that you have to submit

an original copy of your DD214 to VA - BS.

But certainly do as you wish and continue to submit original copies

to Goobermiint agencies - one day you will wish you didn't.

jmho,
