Can't imagine that being problematic. Every airline is beating the bushes for pilots with criminal violence and PTSD in their backgrounds.

All easy sarcasm aside, the arrests will not likely be disqualifying for a medical, but will most likely be disqualifying for the major airlines.
The PTSD, on the other hand, could be disqualifying for a medical. There are a couple actual doctors here that you could contact. But before posting more, usually the PTSD "rating" from the VA probably dictated some amount of pay for your "partial disability." Cash any of those checks? Again, consult and expert like @bbchien and post no more on the internet.

Apparently your PTSD has effected your reading comprehension.
IF you were "just given a rating" from the VA it is documented. Everything after that rating is also documented. If you never had treatment that is easy to show. If you've ever been paid for partial disability (treated or not) that is also easy to discover. If you're claiming to have no disability but ever received a payment based on the "just given rating" you've got a tough climb.
Please take your questions to an actual medical professional. You won't get the answers you need here. And if someone does come along and say "go for it, easy peasy, the past is the past" you could likely end up in a worse position. You have two obvious reasons to go slowly towards the FAA microscope.

The FAA has been known to cross-check with other gov’t agencies. If you tell the FAA that you don’t have PTSD and they find you’ve collected disability money, then it’s pretty obvious you’ve committed fraud on one side or the other. This can (and has) lead to huge fines and even jail time.
Tread cautiously and be brutally truthful.
