ptsd Deferred Ptsd Claim

[combatcamera]

Just so everyone knows, I just got my letter back, and I am rated at 30%! So thank you all for your support and advice. Anyhow, I did not recieve a rating on my PTSD Claim because they have deferred it and are still making a decision. Any thoughts on what this could mean? They have recieved all the necessary documents and do not require additional evidence.

Congrats on the 30 % SC.

If you have any dependents be sure to file a 21-686c

(along with any documentation requested) for additional dependent compensation

Here's a link for the form incase you still need to fill it out and submit to VBA.

The PTSD was probably deferred for additional development and/or gathering of some type of information.

Other's will chime in.

That should be good for your PTSD claim.
