carlie Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have been told i dont need and NEXUS letter as my 3 letters from other partol memembers help support my claim. Yes i have the Combat Action Ribbon on my DD-214. 1st Recon Ron ReconRon, Having your buddy letters and a CAR on your DD214 does not AT ALL prohibit you from needing a NEXUS letter/opinion. What having a CAR on your DD214 and your buddy letters will do is, allow the VBA to not have to go through the step of verifying your stressor during the claims development process. For PTSD, you will still need a current Diagnosis and a NEXUS from a MH doctor stating your PTSD is in fact related to active duty. Heck someone vets can go through active duty,or military combat and be just fine. Twenty years after active duty they could experience a traumatic life threatening event,such as a car crash or personal assault and have PTSD as a result of this. Let's go a step further. The vet files a claim with VBA for PTSD and they have a CIB, CAR on thier DD214 - so automatically that concedes a stressor on active duty BUT the MH doctor states, "Veterans claim for PTSD is more/as likely as not related to the car crash/personal assault, experienced as a civilian. The veteran relates dreams/nightmares related to the car crash/personal assault. These dreams/nightmares do not allow the veteran to get acceptable amounts of sleep. The veteran has given up his/her priviledge of having a drivers license as he/she feels guilt related to the car crash,and now rely's totally on public transportation. The veteran is RX'd XXX for anxiety related to these events and XXX to aid in acceptable levels of sleep. The veteran does not respond well and is fearful of authority figures as he was arrested and hand-cuffed due to this car crash. The veteran was admitted to XXX VAMC after a suicide attempt related to his/her feelings of guilt related to this car crash. The veteran exhibits poor eye contact and speech is with a flattened affect, more likely than not as a result of guilt and shame due to this car crash. The veteran relates he/she has secondary agoraphobia and rarely leaves home due to the fearfullness of another personal assault. The veteran has no friends and distressed relationships with family members as they are non-supportive of the veterans PTSD symptoms, as they feel the veteran brought these problems onto him/her - self. The VBA claim above for PTSD would surely be denied as the MH doctor totally related the vets PTSD (NEXUS)to a civilian cause. I hope the above explains to you exactly why - you still need a NEXUS from a MH doctor. jmho, carlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
