Certain members of the VA's mental health community, and the bean counters, have been agitating to simply remove the diagnosis, rather than find better ways to fight fraud. (Such as, say, simply verifying the veteran's records agree with the account the veteran is giving to claim PTSD. A large number of the fraud cases are proven frauds in this manner. Annoyingly - often after having gotten benefits for some time, because the sort of records verification is not normal procedure.) <br /><br />Spending money on studies to document effects from war zone service seems to me a better thing than removing a valid diagnosis.Lokihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290936791524026416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-15414039237792178722010-12-03T09:44:14.222-05:002010-12-03T09:44:14.222-05:00My husband is an Active Duty Marine and came home ...My husband is an Active Duty Marine and came home from Afghanistan to 3 kids (7, 4 and 2) and a 6 month puppy.
