ptsd Ptsd Secondary And Aggravated

[Papa]

Has anyone won a claim based upon PTSD's link to a eating disorder? I started stuffing my face right before I left the service and I have not stopped since. I even had the Lap Band surgery, and it did help me lose some weight, but did not stop my eating. Because of my weight, I have developed Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Ashma, Lazy Leg (even under medication, I jerk, kick, thrash around), Hypothyroidism, etc etc etc. What is the best way to link this together with my PTSD? IMOs from Medical Specialist?

Thank you Sharon for the great information. I have been rated at 30 percent for PTSD, and I believe that I would have been rated higher if I did not have a college degree and working. I'm trying to connect all my other medical issues with my PTSD, and I believe it all comes down to my overeating.

papa,

People with PTSD often experience many strong unpleasant emotions (such as shame, guilt, sadness, and fear), and to that extent people with PTSD do not have healthy ways of managing these emotions, they may develop or rely more on unhealthy behaviors, such as bingeing or purging.

You would probably need a medical opinion stating your eating disorder is likely aggravated by your PTSD.
