Everyone this is so stressfull. I really don't know what to do. I am confusing my kids (and wife) of work or not work. What am I (and other veterans in this sitituation) to do with my life now. I could use some more money. My marriage is on the rocks anyway. What a difficult spot to be in...I wish there was a concrete law on this PTSD stuff....It's like I asked for help from the VA, and I end up digging a hole for myself...Thanks everyone.

Yes, you are right about one thing. I could never hold a full time job again. To much stress,etc. But I am 100% PTSD, 30% Muscle Tension Headaches, 20% Burns, 0% Scars,etc. I am only 44 years old. I have to do something for more money and Mental relief..Been married 21 years so far, and it's not easy not having no outlet. With all do respect to the ladies. I also took a big lost with Social Security. I could not get it. They said I only had 18 points ( need 20 in past 5 years of working). It's because I worked for the state for a few years. Someone told me that you can make them take prior credits from your military service. But I gave up and have not tried this yet. Thank You for all your advice...

I don't understand. I am 100% PTSD with burns %'s and scars. I keep getting the run around about working. Even from the va when I call and talk to different people. Overall, they said that I can work if I am P&T...I just started last week with orientation..Now what do I do ???

I am also 100% P&T... Just to make sure, I am asking everyone on this board a question. I was told by the VA that I can work and hold a job if I want to. Because I am 100% P&T. Now; if I was 70% and TDIU for example I could not work. I did get Champ VA for family, etc...I could even have a business. I am starting to work a day or so a week as a nurse part time...Thanks everyone....
