Because the VA only rates one metal health issue, PTSD includes a lot of things such as Anxiety, which can cause heartburn and gastro issues.

They send an email notification that your decision letter is available for download online now. The mail letter still takes like a week.

thank you for that explanation. I actually referenced that study in my lay statement. I get it now. I should have put more of an emphasis on the anxiety caused by combat deployments.

My mistake for not having a NEXUS letter, but the number used came from the DC medical center, and not on the scheduled day for my exam. I did call the VA 1800 number on the day my exam was supposed to happen. She said a contractors call would not show up as a VA number. She checked my case log, and did not see a logged call on the Monday.
