Question
10thFO
Hello all, it's been too long since I've been here, but I have some combat buddies who I served with 20 years ago, that are finally being slammed by PTSD. Most of these guys were awarded a CIB for our actions in combat, along with other various awards, but it seems someone at the VA is telling my friend that he needs buddy letters to support his claim. I thought that a CIB one was a no brainer because only awarde in combat to infantry, and the fact that we were awarded a Presidential Unit Citation, would at least approve him for 0% rating at worst. I have to contact his mother later as he has been in rehab and off the face of the earth for the last year, but I'm just trying to clarify this before responding to her.
80% SC/100% TDIU
70%PTSD All the rest is Back problems.

God Bless the Troops.

That is definitely not right. I had my C&P for PTSD a week ago and was told I did not have to discuss stressor's because I was awarded a CAB. The CIB is covered under the same policy That said
