Question
68mustang
Please need your advice on this. I received the dreaded envelope a couple of weeks. I was denied the claims for PTSD and for pulmonary fibrosis. I noticed that in the evidence used to deny both claims several pieces of evidence are not listed. Such as some copies of reports from my pulmonary specialist and a CT-scan performed by an imaging clinic, which I faxed to the VA and have confirmation they were received. Both pulmonary reports note that I have mild asbestosis. The PTSD denial has information missing that I discussed with the mental health examiner. I have requested a copy of the mental health exam to look over what the examiner wrote or excluded. I did not have a pulmonary exam because the VA never sent me for one even after I requested one.
I am in the process of obtaining letters from my primary doctor and pulmonary specialist attributing my mild asbestosis to asbestos exposure in my military jobs.
Since the Houston office has not provided copies of the mental health exam, can I file a NOD or what do you all advise I do? Thanks.
