If it is possible please post the medical report. At the least give more specifics.

Just cause you don't have PTSD does not mean that you don't have something else in the anxiety and depression family

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

Some VA doctors can be real a-holes. I wonder if half the VA/military doctors could get the same job at a civilian hospital?

this is an eleven page report..i spent 2 hrs with him...let me see if i can get this scanned and delete name and other info..and put it on here...I will tell you this...since my original post an hour ago, i spoke with my wife, I told her, "if this is insurmountable" maybe i should drop this whole issue, i mean his report was to me...no chance of me being evaluated with ptsd or anything resembling this..So the wife tells me in no uncertain terms...WE will continue to object to this, and NO its not insurmountable..and to fight this is not costing us a dime..unlike fighting some big corporation....so i take back what i said...i will continue to object to this phys. findings...

I will get the report here asap///thanks all ...

Pete is right-

They are using the new PTSD criteria here at hadit.

If a PTSD claim does not fit into that new criteria ,they can say it is not service related PTSD.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
