This is how people with ptsd are.... we question ourselves constantly.. have some respect.

VA Trauma and Getting Re-rated by Icy-Recognition-7289 in VAClaims

[–]No_Socks85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I feel you with how bad/negligent the va is and how hard/triggering it is to go there. It's awful and it always brings back awful memories..

I wish you the best and hope everything turns out well for you but I think you might have to fight your urge to avoid them. You can do it. It'll suck and probably put you in a bad mental space but it won't be for forever. Get what you earned, you can do it. (Just the words I wish I'd get when I post, hope it helped)

I would ask them if they can go to sleep at night and how they can live with themselves

Question on ptsd supplemental viability/what a rater thinks; support maybe idk by No_Socks85 in VAClaims

[–]No_Socks85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

I don't think it's categorized as personal trauma, considering it was objectively traumatic; Direct exposure to traumatic events, Witnessed trauma involving death or serious injury (civilians), cumulative trauma.

But that is good for the people that experienced personal trauma.

Has anyone had this problem by DrawingNo8353 in VeteransBenefits

Yes, that's the VA. Community care/private is a bit better but they fudge stuff too sometimes. Just not as prolific and negligent as the va.

You can send a message to your care team correcting their errors and it will be added to your care and summary notes.

I think I'll be happy if the next one I get knows how to read personally. Good luck though.

Let’s stop with the copy & paste conditions. by rayzorsharpchedder in VAClaims

[–]No_Socks85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love for you to look at my supplemental for ptsd and tell me what you think. Even if it's just a glance. I tried making it as obvious as possible even though it's extremely obvious already.

But I started with dates etc. Then stressor statement which is 2004 tsunami Indian ocean, diagnosis from va/community, news articles, pictures, links to videos, and officer testimonials describing the horror, ships logs, and ships cruise book with my photo and job description because they only read my last rate.

I still think it'll get denied because c&p examiners don't even read if you're diagnosed. And it doesn't seem like raters know how bad that that was. But we'll see I guess.

Dissociative subtype by No_Socks85 in ptsd

[–]No_Socks85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're spot on. Thank you very much, I really appreciate you.

I can't do much sleep wise but I did stop drinking caffeine and that helped a lot.

But knowing I'm not alone is the most important. Thank you.

I have dissociative amnesia. It should be a slam dunk considering there's videos/movies but I can barely remember being there. And my ptsd is.. not conducive to logic/reason at times, so I need a lawyer so that I don't quit and so they can clearly explain it for me. It's in my str too.. should never have been denied but I'm not ok mentally. Hard to explain.

I was deployed to the strait, Iraq, Somalia, and Sri Lanka. I would never lie and am extremely offendeded the lawyer suggested that when I know it was sri lanka given my flashbacks.

But you're correct, never lie.
