Question
oldman273
Hello I was medically retired from my Civilian job as a result of SC condition. I have SC hypertension. My PTSD which is non SC, but the migraines that I was retired for in addition to PTSD I am SC for. What I know is that under Chpt 38 if a SC condition is aggrivated or worsened by a non SC injury or disease that the non SC issue may be rated ? Am I reading that correct? It is my understanding I can make the claim but not being a Doctor how do I get that in writing? My mental health counselor told me that he could see a relationship to things or situations that cause my blood pressure to increase. I have chronic pain from my back My mental health Doctor suggested that also was a source of increased anxiety.
I have an appointment at the end of the month but things for me have spiraled out of control. My wife left me as I am too much trouble in her words which I am. I cannot dress myself without daily help i am not on a pity kick it is just know what the VA can do. I have to wait on the VA to get things straightened out that is an impossible dream. That being said I have some claims in right now but i am waiting for them to get through before I apply for anything I am only looking at this claim should the VA deny my other claims. any advice or thoughts I really need to figure out how to see if i have standing to file a claim.
Mt time line is as follows medically retired in 2001 hurt in 1997 but continued trying to work until forced out. i was diagnosed with PTSD/Migraines but was only SC for migraines a few years back. I applied for benfits in 2002 for hypertension. My issues were since I was SC for Migraines secondary to SC Hypertension which was thrugh the roof with the things I have had in my life. i have learned that keeping to myself helps a whole lot the less I have to deal with people the better. I tried to list everything so that you could get the picture of what I am up against.
