Usually there will be no loss of benefits if they are received because of service-connected disabilities. However, this is not always the case – especially when a veteran is awarded compensation under 38 U.S.C. 1151 or a spouse received DIC payments upon the death of a veteran.

What should I do if I or an older person I know is a military veteran who may have PTSD?

American Gulfwar Veterans Association: ROBERT WHITE - 07DEC0...
First, don't assume that feeling emotional about past memories or having some of the normal changes associated with growing older (such as sleep disturbance, concentration problems, or memory impairment) automatically mean PTSD. If a World War II or Korean conflict veteran finds it important, but also emotionally difficult, to remember and talk about war memories, help him or her by being a good listener - or help find a friend or counselor who can be that good listener.

Yes, you can file a claim without our services, but the process can become very time-consuming and difficult. Most property owners are unaware or have no way of knowing who the manufacturer of the siding is. Builders, in almost all cases, either do not know what type of siding they installed on your home, or will not comment for the fear of legal action. Purchase invoices are often incorrect. Siding products can be very generic.
