True story.....was at crime scene and a 16 y.o. told me he was disabled (he looked over 18 and I asked him where he worked).
I said he didn’t loom like he had a physical disability and he said “I have PTSD.”
I said “How did you get PTSD if you have never been in the military and or gone to war?”
His reply was “my friend got shot and killed”
I remarked that it must have been awful seeing his friend get shot and killed and gave him my condolences.
He replied “I didn’t see him get shot.!”
So...he was permanently disabled because someone he knew was shot and killed and he wasn’t even there to witness it...what a scam.
Egad - I think I have PTSD from reading that story. Trigger alert! Safe space! Crazy check!!
Yep ..... he needs a wee bit of wall to wall counseling from the sound of it.
A guy at work told me his “wife” was drawing 100% with PTSD disability because a Senior Chief in her unit asked her out on a date at a party (before she was married to my coworker) . No harassment, no rape, threats etc.... Just asked her out once.
Full 100% disability for a administrative clerk who’s lone combat experience was with a stuck drawer on her desk.....
Scam # 2....
