Question
Cavman
Aside from my appeal I filed a claim for tinnitus and also a claim for gerd, hiatal hernia, barretts esophagus & insomnia, all secondary to my PTSD disability. I got the VCAA letter today and of course the letter asking for more evidence if I have it. I already sent them proof of the PTSD, letter describing my combat and the unit I was in and locations, docotrs proof of tinnitus and doctors proof of gerd, hiatal hernia & barretts esophagus. I had nothing from a doctor verifying insomnia. All I had was a letter of explanation from me. My questions are how do I prove daily combat noises caused the constant ringing in my ears other than my word? Also, will that be enough to get the 10% rating? As for the secondary disabilities claimed secondary to PTSD, what else can I send them? Lastly, do any of you think I have a chance of winning any of these claims or am I wasting my time?
As always, many thanks in advance.
