Is it truth or a lie? I built the wrench necessary to bolt the 3 stage capping process on the BP oil spill. Tattered banners, and bloody flags... The wind of Odin sweeps it all. |

ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its adjudication regulations governing service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by liberalizing in some cases the evidentiary standard for establishing the required in-service stressor. This amendment eliminates the requirement for corroborating that the claimed in-service stressor occurred if a stressor claimed by a veteran is related to the veteran's fear of hostile military or terrorist activity and a VA psychiatrist or psychologist, or a psychiatrist or psychologist with whom VA has contracted, confirms that the claimed stressor is adequate to support a diagnosis of PTSD and that the veteran's symptoms are related to the claimed stressor, provided that the claimed stressor is consistent with the places, types, and circumstances of the veteran's service. This amendment takes into consideration the current scientific research studies relating PTSD to exposure to hostile military and terrorist actions. The amendment acknowledges the inherently stressful nature of the places, types, and circumstances of service in which fear of hostile military or terrorist activities is ongoing. With this amendment, the evidentiary standard of establishing an in-service stressor will be reduced in these cases. The amendment will facilitate the timely processing of PTSD claims by simplifying the development and research procedures that apply to these claims. DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective July 12, 2010. Applicability Date: This final rule applies to an application for service connection for PTSD that: Is received by VA on or after July 12, 2010; Was received by VA before July 12, 2010 but has not been decided by a VA regional office as of that date; Is appealed to the Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board) on or after July 12, 2010; Was appealed to the Board before July 12, 2010 but has not been decided by the Board as of that date; or Is pending before VA on or after July 12, 2010 because the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (Veterans Court) vacated a Board decision on the application and remanded it for readjudication. --- Thanks for your service, ^V^ Sunpar Last Edited by Sunpar on 07/13/2010 07:18 AM Love is an exercise in duality to bring you to the understanding of unity.

They are making it easy for vets to apply for extra 'benefits' due to a mental problem.... Next up on the Agenda: Confiscate all guns from those with mental problems. See how this works? |
