Suggest Treatment For PTSD

Posted on Thu, 13 Nov 2014

Question: I have put in for a disability through the VA. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2006 and have a VA disability rating for PTSD. I am putting in for an increase for a knee injury and the VA has asked for a Disability Benefits Questionnaire for PTSD to be completed. They also asked for one for my knee. It's not a diagnosis just a report of symptoms. My VA mental health provider can't fill it out because the Veterans Health Administration can't complete DBQ's for the Veterans Benefits Administration. Can someone ask me the questions and fill out the form?

Detailed Answer:
I can understand your problem.

Any psychiatrist can give you questionnaire. So visit a local psychiatrist for it.
Because VA will not accept report given by the psychiatrist who is not living in your country.

Hope you got my answer.
Take care.
