Official VA Training guide and study confirming PTSD causes adverse physical illnesses in vets.

I think this is important enough to post this here also.

Here is VA official training and research study from their National PTSD Center clearly stating the negative effects of trauma PTSD on the physical health of veterans and apparently discusses the many different types physical problems directly related to PTSD.

There is another veterans benefits forum run by former VA raters, DROs and VSOs that constantly tell veterans that PTSD does not cause Sleep Apnea and other physical illnesses and this is pure lying BS.  They constantly tell vets that their problems are due only to weight gain and or life styles, and or aging and not PTSD  or Agent Orange exposure, etc. etc.  Of course many raters also ignore their own VA evidence as in the above lengthy VA training guide.

For over 30 years I have read many medical journals and BVA decisions that also recognize the adverse physical health effects of PTSD on vets and civilians such as firefighters, police and EMS personnel.

I have not read the entire lengthy study but will do so soon.

My info is not legal advice as I am not an attorney, paralegal or VSO etc., etc.
