stillhere Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I would just like to add I think every time the government tries to help a situation it seems that they F it up. Young women and men that are sexually assaulted in the military and do not report it are going to be at an extreme disadvantage, when this bill is passed that they come forward. There is a very % of both men/women that don't report either for the stigma or the fear or for what ever reason. I personally believe if someone has served and the VA shrink say they suffer from PTSD then they should be comped and end of story! I know going through with writing down my stressors was very hard and took me quite a while. I then had anxiety/panic attacks even worse having to talk about them. when I applied for SSDI the shrink just asked me if I had any stressors and I said yes but then he stopped me and said I do not want to hear them! I was awarded SSDI in less than 4 months. That to me is the way it should be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11cvolley Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The sad thing is there are veterans who will lie about having ptsd just to get a check. It really pisses me off that I suffer from MST and will more than likely have to fight the VA for compensation and there are those who are playing the system just to get a check. I wish the VA could use lie detectors to verify MST... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
