A change in the medical treatment received by us veterans.

[HeiressofBickworth]

4. To our dear Vets:

Beware of the trap. If you suffer from PTSD due to your military service and these questions unearth issues from your childhood, it is my guess the childhood issues will be used as a basis for denial of any medical assistance.

JBLM in Washington has issued thousands of denials of PTSD assistance just recently. Some Vets are going through the VA in DC and getting them reversed, but the denials just keep coming. The costs of services to PTSD Vets is mounting due to the continuing hostilities in which the US is involved. The military is looking for ways to reduce costs. One way is to assign your problems to childhood issues rather than your military experience.

So, beware of any detailed questioning about your personal history outside of the military.
