I think it would depend on what your physical problem is. As Alannah was saying, we had to deal with DND to modify the home. That was a real process. Without getting into it, it took years and was just a real problem. It probably led to us both having.... My OSI from being wounded was probably exacerbated by it, and her PTSD was definitely triggered more by it. However, mine is pretty clear; I have no feet. For her and the guys on the screen it is a lot different, because someone has to write down the level of injury that they think they have in the mind. Then what's the treatment, right?
When we are recruited, we are told how to take care of our body, but there is no self weigh-out to take care of the mind. You have to rely on the professionals to give you that diagnosis or that treatment.
I think that, especially for the mental injuries, they don't have a clear, concise level of injury. For me it's 104% on the chart. That's pretty obvious. Alannah has been reassessed three times.
