A: If you are veteran suffering from service-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), you may be eligible for compensation payments for your disability.
Post-traumatic stress disorder is the one disability that is common among soldiers of all wars, from World War II to Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. Depending on the severity of the condition, veterans suffering from PTSD can face serious everyday hurtles, from sleep disturbances and night terrors to fear of leaving the house and panic attacks.
To quality for veterans’ disability benefits, former servicemen and women must prove that they have been diagnosed with PTSD and prove that the trauma that created their PTSD took place during active duty.
Even if you have not experienced combat, you could still have suffered considerable trauma during service and have documented evidence of that stressor. For example, you could have faced the following stressors during active duty but outside of actual combat:
• Ongoing fear of enemy activity
• Fear of terrorist activity
• Experienced someone close to you seriously injured or killed
• Experienced sexual assault
• Witnessed a plane crash, ship sinking or explosion.
If you have combat or non-combat related PTSD, speak to a VA disability claim attorney about your case today for more information.
