PTSD Compensation
Who's Affected?
Recent studies estimate that one in every five military personnel returning from Iraq or Afghanistan has PTSD. Further, 20% of veterans who have been deployed in the past six years have PTSD. That is about 300,000 soldiers. A VA Study suggests that The Marines and Army were nearly four times more likely to report PTSD than Navy or Air Force because of their greater exposure to combat situations.
