ptsd Keep Your Chin Up!

[Sapper]

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted on here, but I just dropped back on to see how everyone's been doing, and I see some new faces. About a half of a year ago, I finally won my battle with the VA and was awarded an increase from 80% for PTSD, Neck, Back, and Tinnitus, to 100% PTSD. I just wanted to give some encouragement to everyone again to keep pushing for what you believe you should be rated at. I know it's strenuous, and can take a toll out on you and your families, but if you keep going for it, good things can and usually will happen. If it hadn't been for this website, I would have been lost on my claim, and would not have done nearly as well as I did. I've also been recommending this site to fellow vets through my counselor I see every couple of weeks, and they've said it has helped them tremendously also.

So in summary, push for what you believe, and do your best to stay positive. Also, A BIG Thank You to all of the Hadit.com members, you all help others more than you could ever know, just by typing advice and sending positive comments. I'm proud to be a Hadit.com member, and I will contiunue to send other fellow vets to the site for advice and help. Thank you all, and HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
