PTSD

[NDVeteran]

So I was diagnosed with PTSD after service for service related incidents. 
VA had QTC set me up with a therapist. That therapist concluded I suffered from PTSD (service related) as we as Indecisive Depression Disorder with Manic Episodes. 
The VA just sent me a packet asking for exact dates of incidents. How am I supposed to remember that?

That is the form to use. Just explain what happened to you as best you can on the form and get the dates as close as you can.  The importance is as broncovat stated to be consistent with what you tell them but not to much. What I mean is I have seen where a Vet gets challenged because the statement was to matter a fact. Its not a bad idea to have the wife write a statement telling what your symptoms are. I let mine read the list of symptoms on the PTSD DBQ (The one available on the VA forms site.) and put the ones she reconoizese in her statement.
