Question
Mover1993
Hello everyone
As seen in the title, this is my claim.
According to the VA the three elements to get an exam for secondary claims are:
lay or medical evidence of a current disability or symptoms
evidence of an SC primary disability (which substitutes for the in-service event, injury, or disease), and
indication that the claimed secondary condition may be associated with the primary disability.
With this claim I have submitted a personal statement of my symptoms, a diagnosis of mental health disorders, and a letter from a psychologist attributing my mental disorders to service connected tinnitus.
I'm just wondering if based on the VA requirements if I have enough to get a C&P exam from the VA?
Thanks y'all

Sounds like it has everything you need except your doctor's credentials. This is important, it gives credibility to the letter.
