Berta Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I think that is VA crapola for- I dont want to say that the veteran's PTSD is really chronic because maybe it can be cured-although PTSD has never been cured. my opinion here only- What else did he /she say- If you have an inservice nexus as to your stressor and/or decorations denoting combat on your DD 214- and a PTSD diagnosis- it seems to me that the rest of what this doc said is what you need to focus on. I think they could state that for every PTSD vet-if they try to suugesst that it could get better in time. Since the VA does not issue crystal balls to their doctors- I feel this statement should not affect your claim- however-it is what else the doc said that might.
