This bill is a God sent. I have been struggling with the VA C&P Services for over 5 years, as I can not prove my stressor. I have 14, yes 14 VA doctors that concur I have service connected PTSD. However, the beauracrats cling to the literal interpretation of the law. They even lost what service records I had.
Unfortunately, a press release came out on the 18th from Air Force News that said the VA Secretary hald alredy changed the proof of strsssor rule. However, the author failed to mention that this immediate change was for vets that are diagnosed with PTSD "while on active Duty". So, this bill is what we need to get developed and passed expediently to help the thousands of vets the VA says they have PTSD, but can't prove it was a result of their service. Let's get this Bill done quickly. Write your legislative reps and call often...

The site above has much information on how to get the proper records and what needs to be done in order to prove your stressors. I personaly have most of the vietnam macv sog histories and most of the data in the earlier year on when what and where things happened. hr 5448 looks like a godsend but it is only pop and pre election circumstance which will fade away when the political circus folds its tent.
