The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs denied Navy vet Hosea Roundtree's disability benefits claim for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, saying it could find no evidence that he was in combat. When a VA claims processor tried to intervene, she says she was forced out. Veterans' advocates say Roundtree's case illustrates the VA's priorities- productivity over accuracy- which has resulted in thousands of veterans being unfairly denied disability benefits.

Blumac81, Google his name for other sources. You'll see his MOS was cook.

I got lucky and got it my first time. DIdn't have to appear in any court either, as I said my current mental state at the time was too fragile (PTSD/social anxiety) to appear in court. To my surprise, they gave me 70% disability, so I guess I'm one of the luck ones.

I believe it was said that he, after becoming a civilian and becoming addicted to drugs, was hired by the VA as a cook. That's not what he did in the Navy

Really? He was a COOK on a destroyer that fired at shore targets they couldn't even see and he got PTSD from that? I don't blame the VA for denying that frivolous claim. This is why the system is so backlogged. They're having to weed through garbage like this to get to the legitimate claims.

85% of veterans win on appeal. Always, always, always appeal to the Board of Veterans Appeals. Never give up. When you win, the VA has to give you back pay to the day the claim was first filed, but you cannot give up your right to appeal or no back pay. Keep filing, keep appealing.

As a former VA disability claims examiner, one does NOT have to be in combat to be awarded compensation for PTSD, it only has to be rated at a compensable amount.
