Having PTSD I've not been able to find a life insurance company willing to offer me coverage. I've scoured Tier1 and Tier2 companies.
Have any of you solved this issue?

Edit: I have gone through the VA and all the major players in the life insurance field including USAA, Farmers. local reps, etc.

SSG Pelletier – Yours is a familiar story that we sometimes hear from our Members. At AAFMAA (aafmaa.com), PTSD, in and of itself, is not a disqualifier for life insurance coverage. There are Members that have undergone underwriting and received coverage while in treatment for PTSD. It just depends on one’s unique circumstances. If an applicant doesn’t qualify for an underwritten policy and is age 45 - 85, AAFMAA has recently introduced a guaranteed acceptance policy called the Veteran Survivor Plan, which requires no medical evaluation. Such a policy, whether from AAFMAA or another reputable organization, could provide a viable solution. These policies offer coverage to help a family defray a loved one's final expenses. I hope this information helps.

I think you may have provided a possible solution. Mr. Perez, I'll be in touch with AAFMAA first thing am. Thank you.

I'll let you know how that turns out.

We have some people on here who do represent insurance companies. I am sure one of them can help you. I will tag some people and hopefully we get to the right ones. Have you tried USAA and AAFMAA?

I've tried both of them. Plus your major commercial entities. So far nothing. I figured if this is difficult for me, others might have the same challenge.
Thank you for the tags, hopefully someone will have an answer!

If you've been rated for disability you can get it through the VA.

Sorry, guys. I've tried through the VA as well. Don't qualify as I've been out for over 10 years and it's a new disability that would qualify me. Not trying to generate 10 problems for each solution! I'm reaching out on RP since I don't know what else I can do.
