Really good advice. All VA offices are different. Get help through DAV, VFW, AL. They will fight for you. BE NICE, VA reps don't understand PTSD triggers, they just fill out paper work. Agent Orange is a totally different pile of BS.

Alright now you only want to have 70 % because if its over that no hunting weapons all knifes crossbow pistols rifles shot guns. PTSD will not be in your records from when you served unless you med out for that reason good luck we where all nuts

OK as i was saying once you get a CMP eval your going to get your ratings, things that will help are letters from you buddies who know or witness the injury. now PTSD is rated by a syc doctor mine at my clinic started it for me im 70% for it alone
