So if they lumped my PTSD and said it was service connected and lumped it in with the TBI rating, how can they keep it the same as it was before when it was the TBI alone at 70%? Does this make it sound like a cue I found this?
A full and complete rationale for any opinion expressed is required. If the examiner feels that the requested opinion cannot be rendered without resorting to speculation, the examiner must state whether the need to speculate is caused by a deficiency in the state of general medical knowledge (i.e. no one could respond given medical science and the known facts) or by a deficiency in the record or the examiner (i.e. additional facts are required, or the examiner does not have the needed knowledge or training).
