Hi fellow veterans'. I am seeking opinions from those of you who may have been through the entire process for combat related PTSD, Tinnitus and severe hearing loss. First the PTSD results. In the summary Doctor states "likely he meets stressor criteria A for the DSM-IV manual criteria for PTSD based on his Vietnam war experiences". "Capacity for improvement and remission of his PTSD is limited". Diagnosis: Axis I. PTSD secondary to Vietnam war experiences. Axis II. Deferred. Axis III. Service history of post tramatic brain injury. Axis IV: Stressors; moderate to severe. Axis V. Current global assessment of functioning for the PTSD is 48. Now for the Tinnitus and hearing loss both of which are indicated and contained in my "C" file. Diagnosis. Right side; sensorineual; degree of loss severe. Left side; sensorineual; degree of loss profound. Medical opinion: Service connection for Tinnitus and hearing loss based on Veteran's MOS, military combat service and service medical records. Well all this is well and fine I suppose but exactly what does all of this mean for this old Marine? Will the VA try and find a way not to award me any type of disability & compensation?? Just your opinions based on your experience with same types of disabilities. Thanks to all of you for your service to your country!
