hypertension Mrvet Had His Cp Exam Today

[mrsvet28]

Hi guys

,Mrvet and I took amuch needed mini vacation- he had to go for the seperate appeal issue for HBP Cp exam yesterday and today-the doc said it is related to PTSD-

on the SSOC it states-your appeal was previously remanded by the BVA for further development which as been completed.before returning your appeal to the Board,we are giving you a time periodto respond with additional comments or evidence.Please note that a response at this time is optional, and not required to continue your appeal.

Issue: service-connection for hypertension

Reasons and bases:VA PTSD exam related your disability to military service. therefore a VA exam will be scheduled to evaluate your hypertension and its relationship to your PTSD. therefore the prior decision regarding service connection remains unchanged at this time.

So my question is if this is another seperate appeal-are they going to rate this as secondary issue to PTSD-?
