0 Berta Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 You seem sure that you have a provable stressor- do you have the CAR,CIB and or a PH on your DD 214 or are you an incountry OEF veteran? If so you will fall under the 2010 PTSD regulations available here under a search. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jfrei Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Exactly what Berta said no stressor no diagnosis more than one stressor gets easy to prove point. If you throw a TBI in the mix or if you have another Mh diagnosed issue already they may just tie it with that... more details please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
