ptsd PTSD Claim

[Buck52]

This is my first PTSD Claim  and was going to submit my MH VA diagnose notes from the VA Physiatrist and VA Social worker, what notes would be good to submit along with my PTSD Application Claim?  I have the DX PTSD with Unspecific Depressive Disorder by the VA Physiatrist   and the meds they put me on and also including some therapist reports, should I include the therapy notes? is this all I need to submit at this time along with the PTSD App?

going to the post office in the morning  and mail it..with return receipt.

 

Any suggestions  anybody?

Thank you all in Advance

Buck,

Have your wife write a statement on your behalf as supporting documentation of your conditions.

Have the letter list;

1. How your condition affects your life as well as family life.

2. How the PTSD has interfered with your social interactions

3. How the PTSD has interfered with any employment or work around the house

4 And how it has Impacted you overall. Health, emotional, physically and so fourth.

This letter should be submitted and also when you have your C&P carry it with you and give it directly to the reviewer. That ensures he/she has it in hand and reads it.

This is very helpful and if you have any other friends or employers that could write a statement on your behalf it would be helpful.

As far as the VA notes you have. They are already in your file but I would highlight areas that you feel would support your claim and turn them in as well.

        Buck, do you have access to "blue button" on MyHealthVet? If you can view your notes, their is no need to submit anything that you can see there. VA already has access to your entire VA medical record. The only thing I'm not sure about is if your therapy notes are part of that system.
