Sad and funny at the same time. But this video keeps it real and still makes me smile. "You want the truth" ... "You can't handle the truth" is what comes to mind.

There is a difference for me and I can get pissed but the PTSD takes and makes me the big green monster. I wonder today if maybe the Hulk was treated at the VA for PTSD his problems would cease to exist. Haha.

I hate drama and stupid people who believe they are smarter because they have a BA or PHD tag on themselves. Man I got off track. It is what it is.

That is what smart people think ptsd is. Your gonna turn into the big green meanie.

In all actuality they fear fear. Just like me

i got another question... BERGDAL CASE...... lets for a moment say that bergdahl left his post while suffering from PTSD. lets just say that his military time created a disease while in service that would later be diagnosed as PTSD. then when he left his post suffering from this ,, is he still now to be put on the shit list from his brothers at arms ? leaving his post was horrible and dishonorable but what if he did this because he was suffering of PTSD ? not to mention that after his leaving post he then became a pow

if his superiors did not recognize the signs and symptoms of maybe he had PTSD and didnt treat him then shouldnt they the ones who were responsible for him be blamed for him leaving his post and then the loss of life that was encountered from trying to get him back ?

Paul we still know right from wrong. Desertion is unacceptable imo. PTSD can lead to poor decision making skills. I have paid the consciences for my poor decisions. Paul if for instance I was an alcoholic and killed someone on the road. Alcoholism is a desease should I be pardoned because of my ailment? I say no. We are responsible for our actions. In a moment of rage I kill an American hero should I be let go because of PTSD? I say no. There is a sick bay. If the kitchen is too hot. You can go to sick bay if your showing signs of heat exhaustion. Life sucks but as an American solider taking a long walk into enemy territory is a poor decision that has consequence. We all know this simple fact. Time to pay up looks like to me. If he is innocent then he should have no worries. But imo they would not have charged him unless they knew for certain they had him.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
