stillhere Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Many have from what I understand. Non combat PTSD can and is granted as long as you have the DX for PTSD and have a stressor that is verified. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probaly can provide a stressor during my tenture in Vietnam with an Artillery company on a firebase that was attacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillhere Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 OK not to say it can't be done without a DX of PTSD but it sure goes a lot easier if you have a DX for it. If you have the dx for PTSD go a head and file and the VA will ask for your stressor so they can verify it. After they have verified your stressor you will be called in for a C&P and if the V&P agrees then you will be rated. I was actually dxed for over a year and went to treatment before I filed. I had a nawwing feeling with have the DX of a mental disease at first. Good Luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted June 20, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 20, 2010 A Dx is mandatory to get service connected. Many PTSD victims get dx for co morbid conditions but you have to have a Dx for something. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.
