Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz Anxiety related to Tinnitus in VA disability.
Leah explores the relationship between anxiety, tinnitus, and VA disability. She discusses how veterans can be service-connected for anxiety and other mental health conditions either directly, if diagnosed and treated during active duty and continuing post-service, or secondarily, as a result of other service-connected disabilities. Leah highlights several studies illustrating the strong association between tinnitus, depression, and anxiety, including their impact on sleep quality and workdays missed. Although not a legal expert, she provides insights into the VA’s mental health ratings, which range from 0 to 100 per cent based on severity.
