What are your thoughts given some basic info? Fraud, Criminal Intent, PTSD & psychology.
An Army infantry soldier completes a first term 4 year enlistment, excited following 9/11. Possibly serves only one overseas tour, and never fires his weapon in combat. Gets out of Army following enlistment and joins Army Guard. Within first year of guard duty (upon orders for overseas tour) claims PTSD threatens to kill his comrades. Is released from duty.
Member has tried for 12 years to get benefits, and finally receives 100% disability. Claims to his family that his PTSD disease is cured. Does not follow psychologists prescriptions, as they are not really needed.
Was member fit for duty when enlisting in the Army Guard? Or did this member fraudulently join having pre-existing condition?
Can this member have concealed carry and go hunting, when he claims PTSD for gunfire?
would you consider this member to be defrauding the government and taxpayer?
Soldier has lied to family members claiming to be heroic sniper, only to reveal as lies later, having never fired his weapon in actual combat. Possibly used similar lies to VA psychologist.
How would you approach situation? VA does not seem to care, and does not offer path for investigation.

It’s easy to assume what’s is going on with someone by making a judgment call, question are you an expert in the field have you dealt with any cases on mental health issues?cases are similar but individuals handle situation differently than others.

I really hate people trying to harm another veteran. Who made you the Grand PO Bah for the inquisition of Veterans receiving benefits for PTSD. Are you jealous that they have PTSD or do you think only those who experienced what you have are the only ones deserving of benefits.
Folks like you should mind your own business.

It should be a criminal offense to try to claim you have PTSD when all you're doing is trying to scam the government for monetary benefits. There are now laws against people who try to claim they served in the military but were simply lying for some reason or another.
I think that any veteran who tries to use PTSD in a crooked way should be stripped of all of his or her VA benefits.
I got my PTSD the old-fashioned way. I earned it in the combat zone called the Vietnam War!
