POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

To obtain compensation for PTSD, the VA requires:

1. a current PTSD diagnosis;

2. medical evidence establishing that PTSD was caused or aggravated by military service;

3. credible evidence of an in-service stressor. 

Typical PTSD symptoms include:

• Recurring memories or nightmares of the event(s)
• Insomnia 
• Numbness
• Little interest in activities
• Isolation or avoidance of people
• Anger, irritability, and emotional outbursts
• Memory loss
• Inability to concentrate
• Substance use as a coping mechanism

If your PTSD claim was denied, I can help.

The VA often denies PTSD claims due to the lack of a diagnosis or insufficient medical evidence linking a PTSD diagnosis to an in-service stressor. That's where I come in. I will comb your military service, VA treatment, and private medical records to make sure that the VA did not ignore evidence favorable to your case. Where necessary, I will work with a private psychologist to get you an in-depth, independent medical examination and psychology report; that's how I make sure that you receive a sufficient and unbiased PTSD examination.
