compensation for ptsd

[Ronald Moore]

I applied for compensation for ptsd with depression i meet the criteria for the dmv and i have a va psychiatrist and psychologist that I see so Va sent me a letter that they want me to fill a form either a 20-0995 or a 20-0996 because I had a case opened in 2017 and they denied me because I didn't meet the criteria of the dmv and I didn't have a person say I had ptsd which form should i fill out I'm confused.  Could someone please answer me

Welcome to hadit.  

You are going to need a VA doctors diagnosis for PTSD.  

Also, you will need a documented stressor, and a link between the stressor and your PTSD.  

If you can post the reasons for denial, we may be able to help more.

Like Broncovet said above you need a VA doctor to say yes or no said person has PTSD.  It looks like you are seeing a doctor at the VA for PTSD? 

The VA should have scheduled a C&P exam to rate weather you have PTSD or not? did this happen?

This sounds very strange the Va would ask you to fill this out.  

I am hoping you have kept this alive since 2017?

If not it sounds like you need to start rattling the cage again.  You need a C&P exam where you can bring in your notes from the VA doctors.

I agree with broncovet and Shrek

Remember  the PTSD Diagnoses Has to come from the VA .

Note* just because they tell us to fill out a certain form does not mean you will win this claim, they just tell us what forms to fill out sometime and most of the time they don't.
