70% PTSD, 40% Peripheral Neuropathy, 10% Tinnitus, 10% GERD, 30% Migraines

For over 20 years I never filed a claim. I convinced myself I hadn't earned the benefits, that they were meant for someone more deserving than me. My wife saw things differently. She kept after me, gently but persistently, until I finally agreed to just apply and see what came of it. The past two years have been a whirlwind of C&P exams, and honestly, the whole process has changed my life. For so long I assumed the way I felt was just "normal" — that everyone carried the same weight I did. Going through this showed me that a lot of what I'd been living with wasn't normal at all, and it didn't have to be. Now, for the first time, I'm actually getting the help I need to work through things I spent decades pushing down. None of it would have happened without my wife. She's the reason I finally picked up the phone, and I owe this whole chapter to her.

PTSD 70%, tinnitus 10%, back pain 20%

Filed my claim after 10 years of putting it off. Used a VSO and got all my medical records together. The C&P exam was nerve-wracking but being honest about my worst days made the difference. Got my rating in 3 months.
