Snippet #9 – Questions For A Selected Medical Practitioner (SMP)
I agree with Mike Nesbitt.. i too have PTSD and was medically retired 2018..yet i am still fighting for my injury on duty award as i was diagnosed with PTSD outside the 12 month window for iod.. disgraceful
It is quite straightforward why does it take so long for a decision to be made. When a decision is made why does it it take forces so long to payout. It is an absolute disgrace making individuals wait several years and the response from an individual who then becomes a HR manager is it will be backdated.
I have an IIDB awarded for life as a consequence of PTSD from multiple terrorist incidents and have not been able to hold down employment since 2008., but still I am denied injury on duty award.
The fight goes on.
