ptsd Important Message All Ptsd Veterans

[Guest morgan]

If you have PTSD and are having problems with the VA in your rating, whether initial rating or if you think you should have a higher rating, or if you have been hindered by the personality disorder diagnosis, the group of attorneys who filed the class action suit, as reported in the news today, will review your case.

For more information about this group, go to www.dralegal.org or call Kasey Corbit at 510-665-8644about this new development. Very nice person and so willing and interested in helping. A breath of fresh air.

The stigma of being a mental case or failure, will keep most newer discharged Veterans from even coming home, in their minds. Most of them will be out of touch and out of sight (maybe 20 years). This is the problem that the government has made by hanging this PD lie on War Veterans.

This is the second most horrific thing that our own government has done to Vets. For me, the first horrific thing was using CBW and AO (DU) on our own men and still denying it.....Why

It says that I was agressive, couldn't sleep, had marital problems, appetite and sleep disturbance, had ETOH evaluation after leaving Vietnam, and that I was agitated.

Toward the bottom it says that I had depression borderline personality disorder with anti-social features. The most important thing said on the Psychologist Notes was that I came to the VA for help.

It took me twenty years to ask for help again, and the VA told me to get lost again. I didn't know where or how to find what they were asking for.

Stretch,

Thanks so much,

Josephine

did anyone see the congressional hearing with jason towne? He was on the ABC show, and one of the first to get a PD discharge, I believe. It went off today at 10 am in DC, and allegedly was suppose to be on C-Span but I could not find it on the 900 channels that Direct TV offers. Believe it or not, I believe that they kept it not televised. If anyone did see it or has a video clip, I'd love to see it.

Spike,

The congressional hearing, on PD vs. PTSD, is here.
