many people are saying it's about 75% that are faking it. many people are sayingI have seen it with my own eyes. I have seen vets hurt people during episodes or flashbacks. What ever you call them.
There is evidence of there being fraud though. I forgot where I read the article but it was talking about fraud in the VA.
Vets were caught in lies. Some went as far to as lie about actually being in combat.
From what the article said there were cases of it being paid even after the lies were caught.I don't think they're faking anything. If a diagnosis is accompanied by records to indicate that the issues are service connected, no fraud has been committed.
I haven't read the article. I can imagine that some would try to cheat the system but that suicide rate wasn't lying. So my opinion is that in most cases, the compensation payments are deserved and needed. It is also my opinion that it would be better to just reduce the red tape and grant more claims. It is better to help them all and have a few cheaters get over than to literally watch so many die on waiting lists.From what the article said there were cases of it being paid even after the lies were caught.
Then again I have personally went through the process of making a claim, appeals and requesting upgrade in rating. They are thorough. They hate letting that money go.
I agree completely.I haven't read the article. I can imagine that some would try to cheat the system but that suicide rate wasn't lying.

Trumps boy Carl higbie says 75% of them are faking itPTSD is common in society and does not have to result from warfare, although warfare will likely produce the most severe cases. It is a rewiring of the brain that occurs from extreme stress. Reversible in less severe cases and the best solution seems to be talking about the stressful condition over and over again until it is desensitized. Women are at greater risk of PTSD but it can affect anyone.
The other end of this argument is that presumably psychiatric specialists are credulous fools easily duped.Trumps boy Carl higbie says 75% of them are faking it
I have heard that the high suicide rate does not depend on seeing combat. In other words, active military that have never been overseas are pretty much as likely as a combat veteran to kill themselves. I have not researched this for this post but have read it in the past.I haven't read the article. I can imagine that some would try to cheat the system but that suicide rate wasn't lying.

Thank you for answering a question nobody asked.PTSD is common in society and does not have to result from warfare, although warfare will likely produce the most severe cases. It is a rewiring of the brain that occurs from extreme stress. Reversible in less severe cases and the best solution seems to be talking about the stressful condition over and over again until it is desensitized.

That's exactly what @MichiganMedGrower keeps saying. I wonder which one is the plagiarist.You tell me
"My body has become nothing but a cage, a source of pain and constant problems. The illness I have has caused me pain that not even the strongest medicines could dull, and there is no cure. All day, every day a screaming agony in every nerve ending in my body. It is nothing short of torture. My mind is a wasteland, filled with visions of incredible horror, unceasing depression, and crippling anxiety, even with all of the medications the doctors dare give. Simple things that everyone else takes for granted are nearly impossible for me. I can not laugh or cry. I can barely leave the house. I derive no pleasure from any activity. Everything simply comes down to passing time until I can sleep again. Now, to sleep forever seems to be the most merciful thing."
