PTSD Denied with a Not Service Connected but PTSD - Combat related description
Rate this question
Question
SHef
I am currently at a 90% rating and have been fighting the appeal status for a PTSD rating for the last few years. I just saw that my Higher Level Review was closed yesterday with no change to my E-Benefits. What I am struggling with is that they have PTSD described in my disabilities and classify it as "Not service Related" but the "Related to" section it shows PTSD-Combat. How can I have PTSD from COMBAT that came from incidents that happened while I was in COMBAT but its NOT service related!!!! I have over 500 pages from my VA Psychologist showing that I have PTSD and they still denied it. I haven't received my letter from the HLR to see what the appeal has stated but I don't see a change in EBenefits.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what have you done to prove your case?
