I have been diagnosed with PTSD since 2001. I been diagnosed by V.A. doctors and only V.A. doctors with this condition. I was not diagnosed until after my discharge. A fellow veteran suggested that i file a claim even thought it is a childhood trauma and there were circumstances in service which served as stressors. My question is should i file and what if i should will the reprimands in my record be sufficient evidence to prove a drastic change in my behavior because of a stressor.
