Interesting info from VA Progress Notes

[Hucast21]

Hello,

I was denied for PTSD and migraines two years ago. I’ve been having sessions with a VA psychiatrist till now and found something interesting in my progress notes the other day.

The VA psychiatrist wrote this: Veteran is a 40 yo male with bipolar disorder, unspecified anxiety, and PTSD from military experiences and MST.

Does the statement above satisfy the Caluza elements?

Thank you

If you don't mind can you post the denial reason? The DX could of not been the issue, it could of been an unverified stressor or just a bad C&P exam.
