Would I also use this form if I havn't been diagnosed with PTSD yet? I have an in stressor service, also documented in my STR, but I havn't been diagnosed but I am putting a claim in for it.
If you are submitting a claim for PTSD, then yes, you will need to complete this form. I highly recommend getting a diagnosis for your exact condition first. Also, please be sure to complete the correct form, as there are two types of PTSD forms. Good luck!
@@VictoryforVets my form is VA Form 21-0781a PTSD secondary to Personal Assault. I’ll get the diagnosis before submitting. It is documented in my service record also so the stressor is there. I’ll get there one way or another.
Telehealth appt T BI Mon what do we need to do not do After that will contact you for more non urgent process stuff. Thanks to both of you for going through forms here.
@Panchitobear it is best to talk about each condition separately, if they are different. Example, migraines are very different from knee injury.... but maybe your knee injury is bad and also causing back issues. I hope this helps! Good luck
Thanks for your quick response, one more question , on Va 21-4138 , do I need to put in statement for example Insomniac or depression , a words “ this is a secondary condition due to tinnitus” for each form ( insomniac and depression?

I am so sorry I missed this message!
How did it go? Was this a C&P exam?
Do you need personnal statement to increase my rating in migraine form 30 to 50 percent?
You should ALWAYS have a personal statement. This is your voice to the VA rater to advocate for your claim!
I do have 4 different disability claims, do I need 4 separate form 21-4138 for each claim? Thank you if anyone can help
