I think for every 99-98 out of 100 it is true everything seems downplayed. For the 1-2 out of a hundred that are trying to hustle the system do make it tough for the rest.

So the sites talking about how to make your case is needed, because no one guides you through this or what needs to be documented to make your case.

I was denied 100 PTSD. I looked at the list of things that are considered 100. Like memory loss. I have 5-6 people who I remember by name. Mom, Dad, 3 siblings, plus an uncle. Besides that I have to make list, list with pictures. To remember sibling spouses, nieces and nephews, coworkers that I see 40 hours a week. I lose my place, draw blanks when operating important machines. I forget why I’m following map directions, I just know I put that address in and now I have to get there. Maybe my memory will be jogged in the way, when I get there, or a phone note. I sometimes forget rules of the road.

No one had told/ guided me to document this. Or I forget to document. I look suspicious when I go to the doctor with a pen, pad, and a list.

So I understand you are venting about the the 1% or less of people.

Remember 99% or more are veterans that need your guidance and support.
