ptsd I Have Ptsd And Orders To Deploy

[bob barker]

i had a c&p exam first of the month, i was diagnosed with ptsd and a gaf score of 52. thats about all i know about the report. now i am waiting for my disability % from ptsd and my(forget what they call it) board of appeals apt. about my back arthritis,hearing loss, ringing ears and a couple others since they have all been denied. one week ago i got orders to deploy in oct in support of OIF. i am stuck in a rut about deploying, i know i can get out of it but i might go through with it anyways. i just wish i knew what i would get for my ptsd rating. and will they let me deploy with ptsd?

thanks again for all of your advise. i have to report to where the orders tell me but then i show them my medical information and ''should'' be sent home.

friday i faxed some medical information to HRC. the next day i get a call saying i have a claim open for exemption. today i get a call telling me i am exempt from this deployment and i am being discharged out of IRR.

think this will help my ptsd claim?

That will help that the Army states that your not deployable because of PTSD, do what you can to get them state that, not just say for medical reasons, get it to be specific.

i asked them what type of discharge i would get. they told me it would be a honorable discharge. my question is should it be a medical discharge?

I think it should be a Medical but I just have an opinion.
