hypertension Just Got The C&p Exam Reports

[jessie0054]

Just received the C&P reports for my husband's claims of conditions of Hypertension, CAD and Sleep Apnea as secondary to PTSD.

All looks Favorable But not putting all the eggs in the same basket until we get an award letter.

Examiner's states " Hepertension, CAD and Sleep Apnea [ is at least as likely as not caused by or a result of the conditions of the Veterans PTSD]

Will let you know how it turns out.

Wish us luck!!

Good Luck Jesse I have my fingers crossed and a candle lit praying that you get the grace to endure the wait and that the BA has everything it needs to award the claim.

whoop tee do- looks great-

But did the examiner give a medical rationale for this?

Still- I think this might bring what you have waited for.

Hello Berta:

Yes the examiner gave the following Rational for opinion given:

[1] CAD and PTSD= There is medical evidence that PTSD has a role in causing or increasing currently acepted pathways of CAD.

[2] Hypertension and PTSD = There is Medical evidence that PTSD has a role in the hypertensive disease state by playing into the pathologic conditions which inderectly create hypertensive states.

[3] There is evidence in the clinical medical literature to link PTSD to the causation of Sleep Apnea from a number of different pathways.

The examiner encluded these supporting Links in his report.

Sleep Med Rev. 2005 Jun: 9 [3] : 211-24 Links

Sleep apnea is a manifestion of the Metabolic syndrome, Vgantzas AN, Bixler EO. Chrousos GP. [ whatever all that means]

Department of psychiatry HO73, Penn State College of medicine, 500 University Drive, Hershey, PA 17033, USA.

There were about 6-7 other links mentioned with the C&P report but i don't have time right now to mention them all.

But i feel that my husband has a very good chance of getting SC for the secondary conditions based on this C&P.
