Esp. Sec #3. Standard of Proof for Service Connection of Post-Traunatic Stress Disorder

(a)...1154 of Title 38 United States Code, is amended by adding at the end of the following new subsection:

...© The secretary shall accept as sufficient proof of service-connection of post-traumatic stress disorder alleged to have been incurred in or aggravated by service in the active military,...a diagnosis of ptsd by a mental health professional together with a written determination by the professional that such disorder is related to veteran's service ...notwithstanding the fact that there is no official record of such incurrence or aggravation in such service, and, to that end, shall resolve every reasonable doubt in favor of the veteran.

Service-connection of ptsd may be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. In case of such a rebuttal, the Secretary shall make all documents related to the service-connection of the veteran's disability available to the veteran... So they might give it with no evidence but they might rebuttal it how is that diferent...and we pay mucho $$$ for this?

sounds like mumbo jumbo
