carlie,

If my memory serves me correct I remember reading old BVA cases from the fifties where veterans were service connected for something called "war neurosis". The folks who write the DSM probably found different names for old symptoms. According to hadits history of compensation page the VA became concerned with mental disorders in the 30's or 40's.

Rick I agree with you but the circumstances in your cases are different you have vets who made claims that were denied, you don't have a vet from the Arizona who never claimed PTSD before 2003 and now wants to be paid back to Dec 7 1941 either

your cases should be paid they tried and the system failed them, but to never make a claim and then try and go back 30-40 or even 50 years later is nonsense. Lot at the case of Frank Wong the naval aviator that fought with the VARO for 60 years because he lost his vision in one eye, but the Navay Doctor covered for him so he could keep flying in WW2, he spent until march 2005 and the Knight Ridder paper did an expose on his case the VA was finally embarassed into paying him for his eye injury, it was like 20% back to 1945 when he orgiinally filed his claim, more power ot people like him.

But people that show up at the VA now and want to be paid for 50 years of back pay for PTSD that was diagnosed 3 years ago sorry I don't see it I won't say it can't get paid, but it shouldn't

Just consider that in every case of a agent orange claim the incident had to have happened during the Vietnam War but you don't get compensation until you file the claim 35 years later. The AO vets have been walking around with the poison in their system for years but until they show one of the diseases and file a claim they don't get a thing. In some of the AO cancer cases the vet does not live long enough after diagnosis to even have their claim rated.
