ptsd Back Pay For Ptsd

[Slowlane]

I applied for PTSD in 1999 and was denied. Reapplied in 2000 and denied again and told to never contact them again.

I applied again in 2010 (ten years later) and was awarded 30% from the 2010 date.

Can I file for the lost 10 years??? Thanx, Slowlane

Carlie, I found one of them:

Jun 24 2002

We made a decision on your claim for service connected compensation received on June 15, 2001.

We determined that the following condition was not related to your military service, so service connection couldn't be granted: Medical Description Post-traumatic stress disorder.

The main criteria missing is the credible supporting evidence of the claimed in service stressor actually occurring.

That was then......this is now::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I was granted 30% on Dec 2010 for the same claim as above. Why? I dont know.

I however, do now have in my possession video and audio of the actual stressor event in 1969.

My first impression of this was this is a 38 CFR 3.156 C issue. Apparently they could not verify the stressor in 2001, but could 9 years later. The most logical explanation of this is "service medical records lost then found". This would entitle you to an EED. Now, this is just a WAG, but it sure makes sense.
