ptsd

Hl All, My Pilot Buddy called the other day and is going to take the Basic Med route and wanted to know if I would join him. I am currently on 80% disability from the VA. Originally, I was receiving disability for Parkinson's disease. (30%) Due to sleep disorder, I was re-evaluated with the...

Hi folks. New member from Fort Worth here. I retired from the military a couple yrs ago and I’m looking to start flight school. Before I try to get a medical cert I figured I’d see whether anyone has experienced the FAA issuing a Special Issuance for a vet who’s been given a 100% P&T rating...

Hello all, So I am a service connected disabled vet, with surprisingly high number of 70% for ptsd. Fortunately, the only real thing I have going symptom wise is nightmares, and a fair amount of guilt (no flashbacks, panic attacks, or any of the more extremes thank goodness). I am working with...

**I AM SORRY IN ADVANCE THAT THIS IS LONG, BUT I FEEL THAT IT NECESSARY THAT I PUT MY STORY OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY FOR ALL VETERANS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH PTSD BY THE VA! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.* I am a former Marine who had been working as an air traffic controller up until October of...

In the process of gathering all my information for the medical exam I noticed areas that specifically applied to me, mainly in regards to a 40% compensation rating for a PTSD diagnoses from a 2003 deployment. I no longer carry symptoms for this disability. I am not on medication for this. After...
