This paper examines post-traumatic morbidity in a community sample who had claimed compensation and been assessed 10-14 months after the Lockerbie Disaster. At 36 months 25 residents were reassessed by clinical interview and 35 by questionnaire. A chronic pattern of morbidity was found in 56% of this sample with the most frequent diagnoses being post traumatic stress disorder and depression, followed by other anxiety disorden. Only six cases were found to have "recovered" and there was only one case of delayed onset morbidity beiween 12 and 36 months. No unequivocal predictors of the presence of diagnosis or questionnaire scores were found.
