Hello all,
I have been reading around on this forum for a while now and did have some questions regarding my PTSD, my inability to work, and my chances at receiving an increase. May 2016 I was granted 50% in PTSD. This rating was based solely on my C&P exam due to the fact that I hadn't been seen by a professional regarding my issues in the world. Since then, I have been in therapy at the VA and have been given medication to help. I got out of the military 2010, and I have had 13 jobs since then, each not lasting more than 3 months due to my anger and inability to handle the stress. One day will come that someone ticks me off just enough to the point where I just walk out. And this has been at ALL 13 positions since leaving the military. On top of that, I was only able to get fast food jobs, nothing I would consider sustainable. My stress and anxiety drove me to gambling, which completely shattered my life, divorce followed.
Now my question, I put in for a reconsideration in their initial decision for at least 70% for PTSD. Would it help my case to send in a Statement In Support of my claim, detailing these positions and the reasons why I left, or would it hurt me?
I would really appreciate any and all feedback. I look at this situation as being extremely irresponsible because I really needed these jobs, but in these moments, my rage was from 0 to 100 and I could care less. Please provide some insight. Thank you.
