How Can I Get Service Connected for PTSD through the VA?

Recent studies estimate that one in every five military personnel returning from Iraq or Afghanistan has PTSD. Further, 20% of veterans who have been deployed in the past six years have PTSD. That is about 300,000 soldiers. These stats show that PTSD is affecting a lot of people, but some soldiers may not know that they can possibly get service connected VA Disability compensation for PTSD.

In order to service connect on PTSD; you must have a diagnosis by a doctor. It is important to note that this diagnosis does not have to be administered by a Veterans Affairs doctor. A diagnosis from any doctor will suffice. Without a diagnosis from a doctor, your claim for PTSD will continue to get denied. It is also important to note that a diagnosis alone does not guarantee a favorable rating for PTSD. This is just the first step.
