Establishing a Service Connection for PTSD

To qualify for VA disability benefits for PTSD, you must establish a service connection—a clear link between your condition and your military service. Survivor Sources Inc. supports veterans in the Hyattsville, MD area by helping gather and organize the key components required for a strong claim, including:

A current PTSD diagnosis from a qualified medical or mental health professional
Verification of an in-service stressor or traumatic event
A nexus letter or medical opinion linking the condition to service

If your claim was denied due to missing documentation or insufficient evidence, we can help you understand the reason for the denial and support you through the appeal process.

What if My PTSD Claim Has Already Been Denied?

Many veterans receive a denial on their first VA disability claim. A denial does not mean you are not eligible for benefits. In many cases, it comes down to documentation gaps or an unclear service connection. Survivor Sources Inc. can help you review your denial decision and work with you to strengthen your appeal with the evidence needed to move forward.

How Do I Know If My PTSD Qualifies for VA Disability Benefits?

PTSD may qualify for VA disability benefits if it is connected to a traumatic event during military service and significantly impacts daily functioning. Typically, you will need a formal diagnosis, evidence of the in-service stressor, and medical documentation connecting the two. If you are unsure where to begin, Survivor Sources Inc. can guide you through each step and help gather the appropriate documentation.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive for PTSD?

VA compensation for PTSD is determined by your disability rating, which reflects how much the condition affects your ability to work and function in daily life. Ratings range from 0% to 100%, with higher ratings providing greater monthly compensation. We work to ensure your symptoms and limitations are fully documented so your claim accurately reflects your condition.

Understanding How PTSD Is Rated by the VA

The VA evaluates PTSD based on the severity of symptoms and their impact on occupational and social functioning. Disability ratings generally fall into the following categories:

0% – PTSD is diagnosed, but symptoms do not interfere with work or relationships
10%–30% – Mild to moderate symptoms affecting daily functioning
50% – Reduced reliability and productivity with notable work and social challenges
70% – Significant impairment across most areas of life
100% – Total occupational and social impairment, often including inability to maintain employment

Our team works with you to ensure your claim reflects the full scope of your symptoms and experiences so you can pursue the most accurate rating possible.

Can Survivor Sources Inc. Help If I Am Not Currently in Treatment?

Yes. While ongoing treatment records can strengthen a claim, we understand that accessing care is not always easy. Survivor Sources Inc. can help connect you with qualified professionals for evaluation and support, and we can assist with your VA disability claim whether or not you are currently receiving treatment.

You Deserve Support That Honors Your Service

Filing for VA disability benefits for PTSD is about more than paperwork—it is about recognition, dignity, and access to care. Whether you are starting your first claim or challenging a denial, Survivor Sources Inc. is ready to support you every step of the way.
