I got my decision letter today.

40%. 30% for ptsd and 10% for tinnitus.

PTSD has an effect on my work and relationships. Plus the nearly weekly panic attacks. I have to fight that. I got nothing for sleep apnea. I probably need a nexus letter to tie that as a secondary to ptsd. Got nothing for ED. The denials all stated nothing documented during service which is understandable for the problems not associated with PTSD.

I honestly thought my bottom was 90%. 70% PTSD, 10% tinnitus, 50% sleep apnea. I don’t know what’s next. I half read the decision.

What do I do? This is a question out of ignorance. I know YouTube and chat gpt will guide me. I got the decision and went to sleep. I have to research the appeal process. I have to connect my migraines and sleep apnea to PTSD. Can I do that through appeals or have to do that as an increase?

Everybody’s story is different. Hearing and seeing all the stories that were favorable, I thought my story would be the same.

The fight begins.

All about the secondary conditions

PTSD affects alot, get to linking it all back to that, even your denials

I entered a claim for an increase a coupla days ago. I'm expecting a call from a 3rd party nurse any day.

I have a template on what to say in regards to symptoms not improving and/or worsening (Nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance, etc)

I wasn't able to provide any documentation to the claim. However, i did see a VA shrink earlier in the year.
