now here is the real kicker
Phillip Benson
Guys i have heard bad stories form vets in diff states not all of them treat us the same that is for sure dont give up just play the game it will work be nice try not to get mad it gets you nowhere and say thank you and help them understand you.
Really good advice. All VA offices are different. Get help through DAV, VFW, AL. They will fight for you. BE NICE, VA reps don't understand PTSD triggers, they just fill out paper work. Agent Orange is a totally different pile of BS.Re: now here is the real kicker

PTSD VA
Phillip Benson
Alright now you only want to have 70 % because if its over that no hunting weapons all knifes crossbow pistols rifles shot guns. PTSD will not be in your records from when you served unless you med out for that reason good luck we where all nuts
I have been 100% P%T, PTSD, since 2007 and took 45 yrs to get. I have carried CCW since 1999 and have purchased numerous rifles and handguns, been stopped and let officer know I was armed.No problem, attitude makes a big difference. I am medicated.Re: PTSD VA

100% from the VA
Phillip Benson
OK as i was saying once you get a CMP eval your going to get your ratings, things that will help are letters from you buddies who know or witness the injury. now PTSD is rated by a syc doctor mine at my clinic started it for me im 70% for it alone
DAV was very helpful in helping me go from 10% to 100%.Re: 100% from the VA
