HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted August 4, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I was in from 85' to 92'. Gulf war combat. have been in the MH ward 3 times, arrested 5 times, homeless countless times. Had more then 67 jobs. Im on Loxapine, Parozetine, Ranitidine, and Clonazepam. Then you qualify for treatment at your local Vet Center. Earlier you posted "Ummm... already tried that. They only see "combat" ptsd people!!!! MY A$$!!!!!!" [quote}. What happened there. Did they refuse to help you? Did you see the link to the Vet Centers below? Did you not like the setting?

HadIt.com Elder Commander Bob Posted August 4, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) I am claiming my PTSD was the result of a NON-CONBAT nature: ie, basic training assault. roger that. However, for treatment , you qualify for treatment at a vet center due to your 85' to 92', & Gulf war combat service. Once you are in, then you can seek help for your PTSD. PTSD is PTSD. You need to get a handle on your PTSD, or you will wind up on a locked ward again. I would think that since you entered a war zone with service related PTSD, that your tour of duty in the war zone exacerbated your condition and could be used in support of your claim... The new rules for PTSD are all over the internet.
