I submitted a VA FORM 21-0781a just before Thanksgiving, with my two worst stressor events described and a sentence or two about each of the items on the last page. Last week I read a recommendation on another PTSD-MST forum which advised to only discuss one stressor and to be very expansive when discussing the last page items.
I haven't submitted a Statement in Support of Claim about the MST beyond the brief statement my Rep wrote up for me. I'm in a quandry because I'm afraid I haven't told (in writing) about the drastic change in me after service. I talked about it to VA therapists & psychiatrists, but never in writing.
How important is it that I write that all out? Should I submit another SSC detailing who I was before and after? I'm seeing my VA Rep tomorrow, so I could do it tonight. I haven't had a C & P for mental health yet.
