Question
chriscshunter
When I initiated my claim I didn't realize I had PTSD so its not on my initial claims. Since I filed my claim and began my transition into the civilian world I began to notice issues with anger and irritability that I never recall displaying before or while I was in. At first I passed it off as other people's fault and just transition stress, but as time went on my anger outbursts got worse. I started looking into PTSD and felt it was an exact match of the behavior I was displaying. Having flashbacks and reenacting them, not being able to put my mind at rest at night, trust issues, anger and irritability...
So I'm waiting for my C&P exam, but PTSD isn't listed... so what do I need to do to get this placed on there so that I can be evaluated and diagnosed? Also I plan to start seeing a personal physiologist, would their diagnosis be of any help?
