I would like to see an Obama Presidential Administration ending the continual decisions of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Board of Veterans Appeals in denial of financial compensation for PTSD and other emotional disorders due to combat experiences. This has been my experience since 2002, the Department of Veterans Affairs Pittsburgh Regional Office and the Federal Board of Veterans Appeals have denied my claim for PTSD compensation. They have used the fact that I grew up in an Alcoholic home as the main reason for dening my claim. They state my anxiety, worry, anger and Vietnam Combat experiences is not caused by my time serving with the Marine Corps in Vietnam with Golf Company, Second Battalion, Ninth Marine Regiment from March to August 1969 as an infantryman.
The Federal Board of Veterans Appeals recently used several Department of Veterans Affairs legal statutes as excuses of denying my claims. It seems only a decision from the office of President Obama can enure that my PTSD compensation claim will ever be approved. My hope and prayer is that a President Obama will ensure that simple justice can be accomplished for all combat veterans regardless of their war experiences.
