Question
peakgolf
I am 30% SC for PTSD and have filed a NOD to hopefully increase the %. In addition to the PTSD I grind my teeth (Bruxism) really bad and have done so since I returned from RVN back in 1968. My family dentist fixed me up with a night guard about 4 years ago which seems to have stabilized my condition but unfortunatly the damage is already done, teeth worn down almost to gums. At the time I filed my PTSD claim thru the DAV I wasn't aware that Bruxism could have been brought on by my PTSD and my family dentist is willing to write a letter for me stating that in his opinion it was more likely than not that the PTSD contributed to my Bruxism. At the time I filed my original PTSD claim I was unaware that my Bruxism could have been brought on by my PTSD so I didn't include it in my PTSD claim. Last week I went back to the DAV and had them file a claim for Bruxism, secondary to PTSD......Anyone out there willing to comment on what I am up against? What I am trying to get is dental coverage for this condition thru the VA....
Semper fi,
Jim Parker USMC RVN 1966-1967
