Worker's Comp Question

[Asptsd]

Hello! Was wondering if someone could help answer a PTSD-related question. I was in a car accident the other day on my way to a work-related event, so I'm going through the workers' comp channel right now...

I already had PTSD, but that accident caused a horrible episode... Is that something that should be documented w/workers comp?

Thank you!

My thought is: if you had a bad back and the accident made it worse would you include it in your claim?

If yes - include PTSD
If no - don't.

Do you have anything to evidence your 'episode' - did you need to consult your therapist/doctor/ psychiatrist? Anything at all to support your claim.
