hypertension Ptsd And Hypertension

[oldman273]

Anyone got a line on the effects of hypertension and PTSD. What I have going on is that I am SC for Hypertension and the effects of this has dammaged my heart (SC) and now I am wondeing what the VA considiers when a Non SC PTSD affect my SC Hypertension. I am also SC for Migraines as result of Hypertension. I am no Doctor so my opinion is worth little value but the fact that I found this on the VA website

38 C.F.R. § 3.310(a). Additional

disability resulting from the aggravation of a nonservice-

connected condition by a service-connected condition is also

compensable under 38 C.F.R. § 3.310(a). Allen v. Brown, 7

Vet. App. 439, 448 (1995) (en banc).

Does this apply to my claim? What pisses me off is that when Veterans apply under their rules is that they pull out all stops to screw us. Just wondering if this applied have a good day..

It may apply bit only to the extent of the aggravation of the Non service conencted conditon.

So if you get it SC'd the percentage most likely will be low.

That is how they get away with it.

When NSC condition affects a SC condition I don't think you have much of a claim. If a SC condition affects a NSC condition that is different. Then you have something.
