I've been on DSP for 10 years and NDIS for 5 years because of being repeatedly hit by my ex-wife. I have no ability to focus anymore which means I'm not able to do my previous work as a research scientist or programmer, and or even to take care of myself without help. Its unknown how much of it is due to PTSD and how much is CTE-type damage from repeatedly being slapped over a long relationship.
