***Why a Great Buddy Letter Can Help You Win Your VA Claim!***  How to write a VA buddy letter for PTSD. When writing or obtaining a buddy letter for PTSD, you can simply use the VA Form 21-4138, Statement in Support of a Claim. I’ve heard others talk about why the VA Form 21-4138 might be hurting your VA claim… Guess what I think? I think they are WRONG. The VA Form 21-4138, in official .pdf format, is still the PREFERRED method of personal statements and buddy letters according to Rating Veteran Service Representatives (RVSRs), aka, VA Rating Officials. A great VA buddy letter for PTSD is short and sweet. Think less is more. We’re not writing a novel here veterans!  1: How do you know the Veteran? 2: What you witnessed or are witnessing. 3: The veterans’ current symptoms of the disability. 4: Sign and date your name to the best of your knowledge and belief.
