Question
Papa
My Doctor has written a letter on my behalf, and I would appreciate some feedback.
Papa is morbidly obese. He has diagnosed and confirmed PTSD from Vietnam. Before he left the military he began overeating to comfort his emotions. This pattern has continued to present. A lap band procedure was performed to help minimize this but it has not been as successful as we had hoped. He currentlt see Dr. X at the VAH for his PTSD. It is likely that his PTSD led to his obesity. His obesity has led to his other medical problems (sleep apnea, diabetes, etc.). Please evaluate him for service connected benefits that apply.
Dr. Y
