ptsd C&p For Ptsd

[billy2]

I had a C&P for PTSD a few weeks ago. I was under the care of a private shrink in 2004 for about a year and I never told the VA about it.

It was a job related issue and I took a few months off and I needed a medical diagnosis to cover my absence under FMLA.

I was a supervisor and fired someone and he lost his appeal and it was final. This employee had a history or violence and crazy behavior.

He told people he was going to get me. I asked the agency what they would do to protect me and I was told nothing could be done.

I went to the shrink and he put me on Zoloft.

As far as I can remember we never really got into the combat issues. I know it was mentioned but our main focus was on this individual that had threatened me. The shrink said I was suffering from PTSD.

I never mentioned this because I didn't want the VA to say my PTSD was the result of my job. The doctor recommended that I leave my job if at all possible.

I did leave my job a few years later because I could no longer function in a hostile work place.

Since the information is at a private doctor you do not have to mention it to the VA. The only way they will know it is if you tell them.

Sharons right,

And if you have a valid and proven stressor in service then you shouldn't be scared about the incident in the workplace affecting it. This being you have medical opinion stating your PTSD is from service.

dark,

I am 50% for AO related issues. My PTSD claim is being processed and the combat stressors are in place. I also have three other claims in the network. I mentioned the workplace issue but it has nothing to do with my military service. I didn't want to complicate the issue by bringing up something that happened 5 years ago at work.

Thank you for your reply.

I left my job because mentally and physically I could no longer do it.

I quit.
