How To Win Your PTSD Claim without Diagnosis (Don't Fall for this common Grift!)

Has Your VA Claim been denied for PTSD or other mental health claims? Tell me below!

Would the Va lower your PTSD non combat if you file a new claim for sexual assault.

Acquired Psychiatric Disorder does not have a diagnostic code in 38 CFR Part 4. Better to get a diagnosis of one of the mental health conditions listed in Part 4 (other the Adjustment Disorder under 9440 - as that is considered a short term disability - 6 months or less) or just get mental health hooked up on a secondary basis to something else that is already service connected. As all mental health is rated under the same rating criteria you're only going to have one mental health rating regardless of how many diagnoses you may have been given due to Pyramiding under 38 CFR 4.14. Take the path of least resistance. The point of the video should be a PTSD diagnosis doesn't matter so long as you can establish service connection for any mental health diagnosis.

Thank you, I do have a 70% PTSD and it affects me at my job . My memory is not great anymore and can’t continue to work this way. I need help to get Unemployability
Can you help me

This lady seems smart but this is the same group that wouldn’t even take a look at my PTSD claim and said it was un winnable and wouldn’t touch it. Now I’m 100 percent connected for PTSD all on my own I’m glad they told me my claim was un winnable and I wouldn’t trust these jokers at all. Glad I didn’t pay them they probably wouldn’t have actually helped me or they take my money.

HP is representing me, I was denied mental health and ptsd non combat, moral injury dealing with dead kids on duty and a suicide of a friend while he was duty. and 1 year in okinawa I had 3 events that caused me psych problems and it seems in the decision they ignored that entire year. Was all denied. A chopper went down on the way to our island and all died. I was on standby to get a ride back...Cant find a buddy from there 1968. One would think the JSRRC would find the chopper crash in 1968

AFTER earning a Combat Action, why are VA counselors quick to tell you bipolar is a possibility but will not even say the word PTSD?

I have a ptsd claim in 2006 I was treated by va for depression anxiety and insomnia, but did not have ptsd diagnosis. I have combat action badge and multiple sufficient stressors from my deployment. I was in guard, and received no treatment while deployed. I believe I would have a better chance of proving ptsd than a service connection to another psychiatric disorder. The c&p examiner said I did not have ptsd but had adjustment disorder with depression, anxiety, and insomnia. In recent years my ptsd has increased in severity and the va has finally given me the ptsd diagnosis. My question is I have been told I can do a cue motion on my 2006 claim but am wondering if it may be a dta claim from watching some of your videos and seeing dta is easier to get.

Just remember; they don't have to pay a corpse. They want you to eliminate your file, one way or another.

So if I filed for ptsd, it’s possible to get a rating for a totally different mental disorder?

Title says "How To Win Your PTSD Claim" big help you were. At least I learned not to waste any money with your firm.

They told me MDD and not PTSD I was given 30% and so I filed again and they gave me 50% this toke from 1983 to 2023. 😢

Question, Is Major Metal disorder the same as PTSD this is what they came up with and gave me 50% overall 30% MMD and 30% for the scar on my forehead?

Is it true when given a ptsd or mental health disability they mark you as being denied conceal weapons permit for the rest of ones life??

like and subscribed

call it mental health condition

I just got the ptds form to fill out and i have evidence to support my claim. I kept my awards letters stating what happened and saying i was awarded a CBR.

What if you have more than one stressor? Should you just pick one?

I have to go for the evaluation soon for my claim and scared as hell and been fighting it for two decades

Great representatives. They won my case in a very honorable, dignified and honest way. Very informative and friendly. I Highly Recommend.

This is exactly what I needed

What a crock! We now have to fight the VA after fighting overseas. Lousy experts have no clue what kind of hell we went through. The vA is clearly the enemy too.

I have a mental health appointment getting ready for C&P exam to be set.
Do you need someone close you to kill themselves in front of you to be traumatized by it? My tinnitus causes headaches, I sleep maybe 4 hours a night every night, I have anxiety, depression, I wake up in cold sweat when I finally do get to sleep. What are my options? I am going thru a private company filing my claims for me.

If your DD214 show’s deployment in a combat zone, should you file a 21-0781 for an acquired mental health disorder, since you aren’t specifically filing for PTSD? Thanks.

I just got denied for migraines because my personal doctor put headaches and migraines in my medical records. Since I filed both migraines and headaches the va combined them in one (Migraines/Headaches), but denied. Filing HLR now I'm waiting on that call to finally speak to someone.

This is great information. Thanks! I'm starting the process to claim for mental health due to service in Iraq. I'll be reviewing this video again before I actually file my claim.

Thank you So much for the Tips! I am filing for the first time and am going for my C&P exams this week, My VA Rep. Put me in for All of them as you've stated to try and make sure if one don't come back but the others do I don't get denied. 'AA All The Way"

How does getting a rating for mental health issues affect purchasing guns? There is such a stigma with PTSD or other issues that new ATF forms ask if you've been diagnosed. Just because people have these issues doesn't mean they aren't responsible....

Just got denied for ptsd claim after C&P exam. The denial letter left out the DBQ I submitted from a non-VA psychiatrist diagnosing me with ptsd. C&P evaluator didn’t mention the DBQ. Positive outcome was the VA stated I had a Stressor.

I haven't filed a claim nor was I deployed down range. I was actually in the national guard and when I returned from basic and AIT life was good. But I had a close friend that you could say was my mentor. he served 8 years, was deployed 3 times. So I took to him like a brother. One day he called me in the middle of the night so it's real late so I didn't answer I wasn't sure what he wanted to do probably go drinking or something. Little did I know he took his life that night, on top of that I had 2 of my best friends die around the same time. Make it even worse the one died in a car wreck, and he called me too and I didn't pick up the phone either because I thought the same thing. As for the last one he died from an illness and wanted me to come see him in the hospital but I was so depressed I couldn't bear to go and he died the next day. Losing three of my close friends all in one month and knowing that I could have answered the phone in the outcomes probably would have been different really sent me into a spiral. To lose one friend from suicide that I never stopped would ever take his own life makes you also contemplate on taking the easy way out of this world. I never said anything to anyone at drill about it because I felt like people would see me just trying to use his death for my own personal gain. But here I am almost 10 years later and I still can't let it all go. Probably not claim worthy just one sad story.

In the UK they are are similar in being adverseral it's a law court

Q: During a C&P Psych appointment, do they write up an "Acquired Psychiatric Disorder" to provide as proof, to the VA for PTSD Disability Claim for compensation?

Very helpful.

witnessed a suicide and because I didn't know the woman's name, they laughed me out of the VA in Philly

10 years removed from service, im finally going to claim. glad you made this, i was going either the tbi or ptsd routine, stressor was an ied attack on my convoy, another was a rocket attack on the base that killed a member of my squad

Thank you very helpful

What do mean , I'm confused ,

I had filed a secondary/ supplemental claim for COPD, CVD (heart) and Depression and Anxiety. Went to C&P exam and doc said I had been misdiagnosed for several mental disorders but he said I should have been diagnosed 16 years ago for severe PTSD. He said I have severe PTSD.. Will see what VA rates me.. (I’m a Vietnam Veteran)

THANKS FOR GIVING US HOPE. 🇺🇸✌️👍🏻

what if the veteran has no known living relatives or anyone they associate with on a regular basis or anyone they confide in?

Wonder how they approve it when it happened during Vietnam.

I got denied for anxiety and it literally is written in my medical IN SERVICE record:
"Severe anxiety and suicidal thoughts"
Very discouraging

But which VA form to use if you are going the acquired route?

I filed back in 2016 for anxiety, depression, PTSD. Finally last week I saw the veteran appeals judge. Not listen or speak to a representative only to me. all she was interested in was if I had PTSD. I mentioned that I had claimed all three and she did not care! PTSD is in my VA record but who cares

The Smash Of Cannons Being fired IS A Major Impact to The Brain.. The Jack Hammer To The Head Of Being A Machine Gunner, Machine Gunner Trainer, I Know Has "Rung My Bell" The Banging Headaches Tell The Tale.

Thank you so very much for your informative videos. You make the VA claims process understandable to laypersons.
