PTSD Claim Denied or Underrated?
Let's Fix the Evidence.
A thorough, practical 60-minute session to help you establish service connection, avoid common pitfalls, write credible lay statements, and properly document secondary conditions that may increase the total combined rating.
What We'll Cover
Four critical areas that most often determine whether a PTSD-related claim moves forward smoothly — or hits avoidable obstacles.
We will discuss how to accurately document and articulate the in-service events and stressors that are essential to establishing service connection under current VA standards. You'll learn what evidence is required, how to identify qualifying stressors, and how to present a clear nexus between service and current symptoms.

What You'll Walk Away With
Led by a Dedicated Veterans Advocate
Hannah Turk, CLRP
Director of VA Benefits Education
Hannah is not a VA-accredited agent or attorney — she is something equally vital: a passionate advocate with over seven years of hands-on experience guiding veterans and their families through the complexities of VA benefits, long-term care planning, and critical support services. Her expertise is built on real-world results, and her servant leadership heart.
She currently works with the Senior Veteran Service Alliance and the National Care Planning Council, helping veterans and their families navigate critical planning, benefits, and long-term support with clarity and compassion.
Her nonprofit leadership speaks for itself. Hannah serves as Senior Vice President, Board Member, and Fundraising Lead for the Utah Agent Orange Veterans Foundation, advancing awareness and advocacy for veterans affected by toxic exposure. She is also the Co-Founder and Vice President of The Riveting Rosie's Project, a female-led nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans and first responders through community, empowerment, and service.
Hannah sits on the board of the Rocky Mountain Service Dog Project, an organization committed to placing highly trained service dogs with veterans and first responders living with PTSD and other qualifying conditions. She also volunteers with the Utah Cold War Veterans Medal Foundation and serves on the Sunset City Veterans Day Planning Commission, helping honor and recognize veterans at the community level.
A licensed QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Instructor for suicide prevention, Hannah provides training free of charge through nonprofit organizations — reinforcing her unwavering commitment to veteran mental health and crisis prevention.
The proud daughter of a Vietnam War veteran, Hannah's lifelong dedication is driven by both professional expertise and personal purpose — grounded in advocacy, compassion, and action.
