The big news of the last few days has been:
But now, some questions are being raised about the new PTSD rules.
In a recent article in the Army Times, Rick Maze writes:
Under the proposed rules, veterans diagnosed with PTSD by a VA health care professional or by someone under contract with VA
no longer would have to provide proof that they had been part of a traumatic event in order to be approved for benefits.
Later in the article we read:
[Ryan] Gallucci [AmVets spokesman] said AmVets generally supports the rules changes, believing they will make it easier for veterans to receive benefits and treatment.
But he is disappointed that the VA rule does not accept a PTSD diagnosis from a military or civilian doctor as sufficient proof.

It will be interesting to see how the new rules read and if they truly will make it easier for veterans to get disability compensation for PTSD.
