  1. I searched through our records cabinet at home and still couldn't find the denial letter from 11 years ago. I am pretty sure I did toss it. I was so upset at the VA. BUT.............. I FOUND THIS.......... A copy of my original DD2807-1 (Report of Medical History); in which I was actively seeking help for the nightmares I was having while in service starting after 9/11. The regional medical officer noted that I was having occasional nightmares from operations at the pentagon. This was signed by myself and the officer 3 months before I got out of the army. Please tell me this is helpful. I would assume that the VA would have that on file; or would have at least seen that I was seeking help back then or planned to seek help from the VA when I got out. Before I got out I had faith that the VA would help me, it's evident in my verbiage on the for. "At the present time, do you intend to seek department of veterans affairs (VA) disability?" my answer was, "Yes, (Backpain, sleeping disorder)" But, I was still documented as "not service related".
  2. I'll have to hunt down the C-File. Should I ask my DAV representative if he knows where I can get this? I hate to say it, but I think I ripped and burned the denial letter in 2005-2006(?) out of rage. I've tried to request my C-File through ebenifits or MyHealtheVet. I have a copy of the fax (and fax received receipt) I sent to the freedom of information act officer asking for all my files the mil has on me. I'll try to get those files somehow.
  3. We were across the St. I have about 10 buddy statements from other soldiers that were there "next to me", yes, there were a lot of remains/bodies that we came in contact with and moved (I prefer not going into detail out of respect of those that died). I have 2 military awards and a Noble Eagle certificate with facts on it. I did not go to counseling while I was in (my mistake), I was a PFC and was doing my best to fulfill my duty and didn't want to deal with the peer pressure BS. None of us admitted we needed the help when we did/nor did some of us realize that we should have really sought that help. They held a meeting at Conmy Hall at Ft. Myers. No-one was going to freaking stand up and be called out by their peers, during that meeting too we also signed a packet disclaimers that were collected at Conmy Hall. I don't remember if that was during or after the search and rescue efforts. I think it was shortly after our duty was over at the pentagon. Our Company was sent to JRTC following 9/11 as OPFOR (probably to get our unit's mind of things)... then we really didn't talk about it.
  4. Are there any other Veterans on here that were at the Pentagon 9/11-9/30 for search and rescue/recovery? I was denied PTSD in 2005 (VA said it wasn't service connected), I appealed it, but never received a letter that the appeal was denied, at that point I said f-it and gave up on the VA. I created an ebenefits account recently (December 2015) and it says that appeal decision (denied) was made in March 2006. I am still having issues. I am reopening the claim for PTSD. I have the VA ROI from 2005 that shows all the VA Psychologist and LCSW notes on file chronic PTSD and GAF:40. I was going to that VA clinic 2004-2006. went back in 2009 to get prescription for nightmares and flashbacks. shit is still not going away.
