Help Applying for VA Disability Benefits

VA Disability Benefits for PTSD

Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the toughest challenges many Veterans face after service. What begins as a few sleepless nights or moments of anxiety can evolve into flashbacks, chronic depression, and severe emotional strain that disrupts daily life, relationships, and work. PTSD often develops after exposure to combat, training accidents, or the constant high-stress environments of military service. Over time, untreated symptoms can intensify, making it difficult to stay connected or hold steady employment. At United Veteran Benefits Agency (UVBA), we understand the long road to recovery and the importance of securing the benefits you’ve earned. Our team helps document your condition, strengthen your claim, and increase your VA disability rating so you receive full compensation for PTSD and related conditions.

Symptoms & Challenges of PTSD for Veterans
Flashbacks & Intrusive Memories

Many Veterans with PTSD applying for disability benefits experience intense flashbacks and recurring intrusive memories that sounds, environments, or situations can trigger. 

Anxiety & Hyperfixation

Constant anxiety, worrying, panic, and hyperfixation, symptoms of PTSD, make daily tasks difficult and maintaining gainful employment a challenge for Veterans.

Insomnia & Sleep Disorders

PTSD leads to conditions like sleep disorders, nightmares, insomnia, and restlessness that contribute to fatigue, poor health, and a diminished quality of life.

Mood Swings

Mood swings, angry outbursts, and concentration issues are all possible symptoms of PTSD, and Veterans experiencing these conditions may qualify for VA disability benefits.

How Can UVBA Help?

Overcoming Stigma & Confusion of PTSD Disability Claims

Post-traumatic stress disorder can be one of the most challenging conditions to document accurately and carries a stigma throughout Veterans of all branches as something best left ignored. Symptoms from PTSD can present long after traumatic events occur, may not be overtly detectable, and can manifest in a variety of ways. UVBA helps Veterans from all branches suffering from PTSD to gather available medical records, supportive buddy statements, and other credible information that support their VA disability claim and accurately reflect the daily challenges PTSD presents. The entire team at United Veteran Benefits Agency is focused on the mantra of “Veterans helping Veterans,” and will work diligently to ensure each claim or appeal emphasizes the primary and secondary symptoms while establishing a strong service-connection between military service and PTSD. Our goal is to work closely with you to procure the maximum benefits and compensation owed to Veterans suffering from PTSD and secondary conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About PTSD Disability Benefits
How does the VA apply disability ratings for PTSD?

The VA assigns PTSD ratings at 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100%, based on how symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and depression affect your daily life, relationships, and ability to work.

What medical documentation is required to file a disability claim for PTSD?

Psychological evaluations, treatment or therapy records, and buddy statements describing traumatic events or observed behavioral changes provide crucial support for a PTSD disability claim.

Can my VA disability claim for PTSD be denied?

Yes, some PTSD claims are initially denied. With UVBA’s 90% client success rate, we can help gather the right evidence and appeal to secure the benefits you deserve.

Can I apply to raise my rating if PTSD symptoms worsen over time?
