Hello, below is a copy of my nexus letter. I was wondering if anyone here could look it over? I'm waiting to give my doctor the all clear to sign it but DAV just refuses to get back to me. This is for a depression/anxiety secondary to tinnitus claim. Thank you
Re: Confidential Evaluation of (blank)
Date of Birth: (blank)
To Whom It May Concern:
On May 7, 2019, I provided a clinical evaluation for (blank).
Mr. (blank) has been suffering from Tinnitus since his service in the Marine Corps.His service in the infantry resulted in significant and persistent symptoms consistent with the Tinnitus diagnosis,Since his discharge in May of 20…, symptoms have persisted without hope of treatment by physicians.
Incessant noise from the Tinnitus prevent him from obtaining adequate sleep and negatively affect his ability to concentrate or focus on his studies.The symptoms have also prevented him from retaining work.
The constant noise and lack of hope for improvement have been extremely distressing for Mr. (blank).He often experiences severe panic attacks in areas including his classroom, to the extent that he needs to remove himself immediately to calm down.Mr. (blank) denies current suicidal thinking and no psychotic thinking was present. His sense of hopelessness, fear, and helplessness over the Tinnitus have contributed significantly to symptoms of both depression and extreme anxiety.
According to his history, symptoms of depression and anxiety did not exist prior to his diagnosis of Tinnitus. Likewise, Mr. (blank) seemed receptive to any strategies proposed to him in the hope of managing the symptoms. All strategies attempted including meditation, supplements, sound machines, etc., have proved ineffective in managing the extreme Tinnitus symptoms.
Given his current emotional state and the clear history of how and when his symptoms became apparent, it is in my strong clinical opinion that Mr. (blank) significant anxiety and depressive symptoms are more likely than not caused by his diagnosis of Tinnitus.
With Mr. (blank)’s consent, please contact me with any further questions.
