Best Time To Make Claim

Question

Hi all. I am wondering when the best time is to make a claim for PTSD and Bipolar disorder. I am currently going through an outpatient PTSD treatment program through the VA. Likewise I am being treated for Bi-Polar, also through the VA. I will be getting realeased from the NG later this year. First I have to complete an MED.

So my question is, should I make a claim through the VA now or wait until after I have completed the PTSD treatment through the VA and the MED?

Thanks again for any help provided, Craig.

You should file the claim the day you are diagnosed with PTSD, however long it takes to get the decision if it's postive you will receive retro pay from the date you filed your claim.
