Question
Guest camper
I am still on active duty and was diagnosed PTSD by a civilian doctor when I was hospitalized during 2002. No military doctor was available during that period, so tricare paid for the civilian hospital (mental hospital). After that, they decided to hospitalized me at walter reed and this time the military doctors said that it was not PTSD, that it was a "personality disorder." I went back on active duty with no further incidents on this issue.
I plan to retire next year. Question: is there a chance I may get disability rating (upon my retirement) for what happened in 2002 based on the civilian doctor who diagnosed me with PTDS?
Any advice is appreciated.
Camper
