SSgt Harvey "Skip" Porter - I think he's speaking more to the issue with many Vets falsifying stories for better VA ratings coupled with many doctors seemingly pushing to boost PTSD ratings.

Okay I understand it clearly now. Doctors pushing to help Vets that really happens. I thought they were more inclined to side with the VA by deny deny deny! I am rated 100% however the VA sent me through so many exams and test to confirm my condition. The final decision came when they sent me to a private Doctor he examined me and reviewed my records I was with him over 3 hours. The condition I have is called meniere's disease which is a combination of tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo. My criteria qualified for 100% rating alone. Believe me you can't fake vertigo.
Thanks for sharing.
Peace

SSgt Harvey "Skip" Porter - Again, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm stating there are other factors that complicate the system.
