Bonzai Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I am Bipolar at 100%, but they have also diagnosed me with PTSD. I never followed through on their suggestions that I go through PTSD treatment, because the boys coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan need it far more than I do. I consider myself as being a mild case of PTSD, with occasional nightmares and lots of paranoia. However, my paranoia maybe part and parcel with bipolar disorder, so I am not going to rock the boat for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what i have been thinking about rocking the boat took me 40 years to finally convince the creeps i was service connected,had evidence irrefutable. They have screwed me pretty good and i have'nt forgot it either,one day there will be payback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I am very confused regarding the new PTSD rules. Since, I put in a request for an increase back around the middle of 2010, I guess I would fall under these new rules. Does this mean that the VA will need to go back some 40+ years to prove my stressor? It should be easy to prove it did happen, but will they need to show that I was there? I did not think at the time to take pictures and get any buddy statements. GThe VA musgt really be have an issue with this increase request.
