ptsd Iu Back To 1993 Maybe?

[pkelly4576]

Opinions needed, wanted to give you an update on my husband's claim because you have helped to answer alot of questions in the past.

My husband got his Nehmer award this week retro- 152,000 since 1993. If it were not for the help of all of these message boards and the NVLSP I really believe he would not have gotten anything.

He was granted 100% ffrom Sept 93 till Oct. 94

60% there after No SMC

In 2008 he was granted 70% 50 for PTST, 10 for Tinnituis, 10 for wounds

He was disappointed that he did not get SMC or more years at 100% but at least he got something.

My question to you is he was thinking about applying for IU back to 1993, he did hold a couple of small jobs but was never stayed long because of his PTSD

Any opinions

Thanks Berta for all of your imput..

Yes is was awarded 70% service connected in 2008

Rated as having a total disability permanent in nature resulting from service connection and assigned a total disability rating for compension based on unemployability.

This was before the Nehmer cases came into play.

What I did find when looking through his 1994 denial letter for his IHD claim was:

entitlement to service connection for PTSD rate at that time 10%

entitlement to service connected pension not established

REASONS AND BASES

service connection is established for PTSD is assigned based on psychoneurotic symptomatolgy productive of mild social and industrial imparment

I know in my heart that this is why he could not hold down a job for longer than 2 years.
