Because of the complexity of these types of claims, it is highly suggested that you contact Tarrant County Veteran Services to receive assistance in filing a well-developed PTSD claim as there are many factors associated with this type of claim.
Most of the time, PTSD is often not diagnosed in service and will not be shown specifically in the veteran's military medical records. However, this does not automatically thwart any chances of successfully receiving an approval of the veteran's claim for PTSD from the VA.
In order to better the chances of having your claim approved, expert research and development must be done to make that happen. This is where the Tarrant County Veteran Service office comes in. We have trained counselors on staff that can assist you with this process. Contact us at
