ptsd Looking For Guidance And Info On C&p

[usdart]

New on the Forum..Hello Brothers and Sisters!

I am currently at 10% since 1977 for Chronic Sinusitis. In March I was asked by friends to see the VA about PTSD by my friends and family.

I went to a Vet Center for advice and He immediately filed FDC Claims for Tenitus, Hearing loss and PTSD as well as an increase for my original claim.

I went to the VA Clinic and was diagnosed for PTSD at that time as well as Alcholism. After a couple of meetings with the therapist she told me why I had nightmares and violent reactions. All related to my Viet Nam service in 69-70 while in the Artillary.

My case on Ebenefits is at the Review of Evidence stage now.

Questions;

Since the diagnosis came from the VA will I still have a C&P.

My VA Rep told me that my DD214 showing Viet Nam Service in an Artillary unit is evidence enough, is that possible?

My DD214 also states that I was in Operation 'Rock Crusher' chasing the Viet Cong into Cambodia. Is that Combat Evidence enough?

I have had over 50 jobs since I got out in 1975, will they know that?

I also have a history of Headaches going back 30 years as shown in my VA history, will that add evidence? Will they find and look at all that previous VA medical stuff? I found it on Ebenefits going back to about 1985.

I am just going crazy worrying and not knowing if I need to do more or if I have submitted enough to at least get started.

Thank you for being here!,

Thank you Ms Berta!

Yes, Operation Rock Crusher was in 1970. At the time I was told by my LT that we were not 'officially' in Cambodia. I could see on the Geo Maps that we were so I questioned the LT. I was surprized that it was on my DD214 because it was not when I ETS'd. I was never awarded the Campain Ribbon for ir either. Now, I don't care about the Ribbon as long as the truth finally came out and confirmed my claims.

I will order a 215 and see what it says (couldn't hurt).
