Question
okie143
I first applied for disability in 1999 when I retired from the Army and was awarded 20%. I refilled again in 2004 and was moved up to 80% all SC. But was denied depression because, at the time, I could not show service connection.
In July 2010 I refilled again for PTSD and lower back. It was suggested I fill by two VA Psychologists who are treating me for severe PTSD and depression.
When I refilled I filled out the PTSD form and listed the stressors, dates, unit, etc., and described, as best I could, what I was experienced. However, I didn't submit any additional documents showing I was on orders for Kuwait.
I had my C&P mental exam and the psychologist said I had severe PTSD and depression. He asked questions for over a hour and 1/2 and listed my unit, dates, places, stressors, etc.
I am wondering if I should send copies of orders assigning me to Kuwait, awards for service in the Gulf War, and letters of appreciation from LTG Pagonis for service under his command. Or should I wait until after I get an answer back from the RO?
