Denied for PTSD even though diagnosed and treated by the VA
Christypl replied to Christypl's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer. We will definitely take your advice. -
My husband applied for compensation for PTSD among a few other things. He was seeing a private dr at the time. He had a bad C&P exam (examiner asked only a couple of questions and the exam was about 5 minutes) and the first go was denied. They said that he didn't have PTSD and he ended up with 10% for hearing loss. We appealed the decision. In the meantime, he started being seen regularly at the VA and was given a diagnosis of chronic PTSD. We submitted supporting evidence about the stressor (mission logs, an article from the Marine Times and a buddy letter. Today, he got his decision and it said that the PTSD was not service connected. What are we missing? Do we need a dr to flat out say that his PTSD was caused by combat?
