Will all my notes from day one when i started with PTSD treatment until present be good.
You aren't going to find anything out until you apply. We can't tell you if they will say yes or no, because every case is different.
The VA notes will help you no doubt, but it is up to you to connect all the dots to show the condition is combat related. For PTSD, the actual inccident report, or triggers that cause episodes will help. If your PEB paperwork shows combat, it will help. If you got a Purple Heart that is the icing on the cake.
CRSC is not a black and white process. The Board looks at everything and lays the burden of proof upon you to show combat relation. For example, a SM could be in Iraq for 15 months, have been on patrols, and spent the bulk outside the wire and not get CRSC. The Board wants to know what caused the PTSD in the form of an inccident, or group of inccidents that show that your PTSD was cased by armed conflict. An example would be
" I was performing a dismounted patrol in the Anbar Provience when out point man stepped on an IED. Our patrol then started taking fire as myself and another Marine went to give the point man aid. The point mans wounds were extensive, and we did the best we could to save him, but failed. As a result of this, I suffer nightmares twice a week, and am extremely anxious when walking down paths. I have provided a redacted copy of the original inccident, my VA treatment notes for PTSD, and a statement form Corporal "X" who was also involved in this firefight."
If you write your CRSC application this way, and have documentation to support it, you will have a much better chance to get approved. Your injury statement needs to be clear and to the point, and have paperwork to substantiate it.
