halos2 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Did your friend put in for a secondary condition related to PTSD? (Like HTN and CHF secondary to PTSD?) Something new they pull is to schedule vet for C&P for medical issues secondary to PTSD, then tell the medical examiner not to give an opinion, after the exam, and order another C&P with behavioral health to diagnose medical conditions secondary to mental(behavioral) ones. I know of this first hand and am waiting too... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
