The VBA denied my personal assault claim & i used that form to provide my written statement. I knew they would dodge my claim & they did.... Looking for advice & this just happened in April of this year

[billsaunders]

Thank you for sharing this information. I filed a combat related ptsd claim about 4 months ago. I used the form they gave me. Will I have to fill out the new form?

It’s not gone I just received one in the mail today.

I’m glad I ran across this video in my early mobilization. I was nearly sexually assaulted by a female NCO and my command knew what type of person she was. Luckily she didn’t deploy with us, but that was for different reasons. Nothing ever came out of the assault.

Can I just send a personal statement letter or do I need to fill out the VA Form 21-0781 as well?

[jayhuff]

What if VA can not find your stressor event? And do you need a stressor event for major depressive disorder like you would for PTSD?

My case is soon to be at the judges desk after 2.5 years, I had a stresser that sent me to the loony bin and was removed from service after only 1 y and 9 m. should i fill out this form 21-0781 now and turn it in?
