I retired from the military in 2007 and completed my VA physical in 2010. I listed as one of the conditions I thought I had as PTSD. I was tested and told I did not suffer from it.
In October, 2016, I took my 5-year polygraph (the second I've taken in this position - the first was in 2011), and was told I failed the poly. Specifically, I was told that it didn't matter what question I was asked, "Are the lights on?" or "Do you work for ISIS?," I was told my bios were off the charts.
I was immediately removed from my place of work and let go.
One indication of a symptom was given by the polygrapher who said, "Sir, you're showing so much anxiety...you need to relax." With that, I immediately booked an appointment with a specialist who confirmed that, indeed, I do have anxiety likely caused by PTSD from a year in Iraq.
Besides getting a doctor's note before I take another poly, do I have any recourse?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
