  1. Hi GBArmy, Thank you for the quick response! I filed initially for back and shoulder pains. During the VA meeting with the Dr., PTSD was brought up but I now see it showed up as "Nightmare Disorder" and Insomnia..I see why reviewing the C-File is such an important step. I was "treated" by being prescribed Prazosin. I do not have my C-File but have now requested it.
  2. Hello, Amazing forum, I've been searching through it endlessly and happily seeing fellow Veterans are being taken care of! I was awarded 60% (50% service connected PTSD and %10 for Tinnitus) in 2015. Upon going through my records (VA Problems) I found that I was diagnosed by the VA Dr. in 2012 (within 1 year from returning from Afghanistan) with "Nightmare disorder" (has anyone seen PTSD diagnosed as this?), Insomnia and Tinnitus. Even prescribed Prazosin by the VA Dr which was for PTSD (I had suicidal thoughts while on this and discontinued use). This was NOT a C&P exam but a VA appointment. My initial claim did not have PTSD listed or tinnitus, as I filed a claim again, 3 years later and was awarded both. Do I have any ground to stand on in terms of retroactive backpay for the 60% from 2012-2015 since I now have documentation showing this was relevant at the time? This was never submitted to the claims before, so it would be "New information". Thank you for any input!
