I have been in the system since September 6, 1969 and I am 100%. There are many claims for PTSD that are prepared by veterans that are collecting disability for PTSD. You can find these guys on the internet. They charge a fee to help you file. They tell you what to say to the doctors. The tell you how to act and give lessons on crying in front of the doc. These guys take a cut of the back pay the vet gets when he is approved. I know a person that is submitting a claim for PTSD and there is nothing wrong with him. He has worked the same job for 25 years and has hardly missed a day. He has been coached by a doctor. I feel that it is our responsibility to report these people for fraud. It is taking money out of the system that could be used for actual illnesses. The person that I am discussing has been reported to the Regional Office of the VA where I live.

I am sure that a veteran who lost a limb due to a IED explosion, would find it disturbing that veterans who never served in combat get disability pay for sleep apnea, hysterectomy,strains or depression...it disturbs me We need to stop paying disability benefits to veterans for “so called disabilities” that have nothing to do with military service and pay combat veterans who have been injured more and put more money toward their care and treatment.
