It's all the same, really. And what sucks the most about it is just how hard it is to prove that PTSD keeps soldiers and vets from having normal lives. It's different for everyone. But no matter what, it sucks for the patient and the patient's family.
The worst scars from battle are the ones invisible on the surface - they penetrate the deepest and they heal slowest.
Vets who are having trouble proving their claim for PTSD should probably consider if they suffer from other possible behavioral health problems that may augment or enhance their symptoms. Anxiety and depression are very common among vets. Both are treatable and both are commonly acknowledged as service connected by VA.

Are you stuck in the system also?

This blog "moderates" posts, meaning that your post will NOT be posted publicly if you request that your question remain private.
I am not a lawyer, but I have been in this fight long enough to at least point you to help in most cases. I'll help write a Memorandum For Record and/or the Commander if needed. Sometimes just getting a new perspective from someone who's been there, but doesn't have personal ties to you, can make things more clear.
The most important thing is for those of us who have made it through, to be here for those still fighting through ~
