Hubby got 70% PDRL combat related for PTSD. We are starting BBD. VA has sent us a huge packet of paperwork to prove his incidents or stressors that could have or did cause the PTSD. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that in 2007 VA was told that if you are diagnosed with PTSD on active duty, then VA has to accept that diagnosis??? If that's true why is VA sending all the paperwork? I thought Hubby would just have to see the VA contractor to determine the severity, not that he had it??? Help! I tried calling VA, but after 20 minutes of phone menus, I was about to have a violent moment.
Thanks!
