I just need to add some comments. I just recently filed a claim for PTSD however I also included for any other mental disorder. Now this is very important for any one that is going to file or has filed and lost a claim for PTSD. For those of you who know the VA and the Gov is trying to get rid of the claim of PTSD there fore they do not want to give anyone a rating for it. On the other hand those that have a rating for and have had one. THey are also working hard to have you curred so they can discontinue paying you. They are pushing the cognitive therapy on many people and they are actually working on medication to take away the symptoms of PTSD. Moving on, do if you are going to file a claim include any other mental disorder because you will always have someone say you are depressed or have an adjustment disorder all of which are related to PTSD. I did win my claim on an appeal because of that wording and because they only took it for the PTSD claim and denied it. The other thing any active duty persons on this website get a copy of all your files before you get out. They are your property because as I and several of my friends know they will loose things on purpose and cover things up that will proof cases in the future. Luckly I had a copy of my medical file to show my abuse. It has been lost by the military otherwise. I have suffered for over 20 years not knowing what was wrong with me until recently with an attempted suicide and all so keep your chins up and push them keep appealing because I know the appeals system does work even going through washington DC. Good luck everyone. CJ
