Migraines and PTSD in Veterans Disability

Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses about Migraines and PTSD in Veterans' Disability.
Leah discusses the potential link between migraines and PTSD in the context of VA disability claims. Not a legal professional but experienced in assisting veterans with medical opinions for their cases, Leah explains different headache types, focusing on migraines and their association with PTSD. Research suggests that PTSD may increase the likelihood of migraines due to shared mechanisms like reduced serotonin and norepinephrine levels. Veterans with PTSD are notably more prone to migraines. Leah elaborates on claiming migraines in VA disability, either as a primary condition or secondary to a service-connected issue like PTSD.
