Question
bolt_vet23
Hello,
I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction regarding a PTSD claim. I separated from the service about 10 years ago and never claimed PTSD. However, after talking to fellow vets and a few things going on in my life, I met with the local vet center and they said that I have PTSD symptoms. I'm going to continue seeing the rep from the vet center, but am not sure if I should submit a claim now for PTSD, request a PTSD evaluation with the VA prior to the claim, or request an independent evaluation? I've read online that only the VA or an approved VA doctor can diagnose claims so is there any value in the independent assessment?
Appreciate any assistance.

Here is what you need to do. 1) you will have to prove two things. That the PTSD is from something that happened in service and also that it is affecting you now (and how badly, etc.) 2)Go on Eb
