Fireworks! & PTSD: Cliché symptom C&P examiners ignore on VA disability claims?

Do C&P examiners on VA disability claims pay attention when Veterans with PTSD talk about their symptoms being triggered by fireworks or a car backfiring? I'm Dr. Todd Finnerty, a psychologist who writes nexus letters and performs independent, private DBQ's for PTSD and other mental health issues on VA disability claims.

There are two days a year I hate. 4th and 1st. People do not consider those of us with severe PTSD. This is a fact! I cannot stand these days ! Dr. Todd its not just FWs its a host of things I still cannot explain. The night sweats, dreams, I buried it for over a decade. Now the VA MH is helping me long way to go

I can handle fireworks when I know they're coming. I'm extremely loud noise averse with tinnitus and ptsd mst, so fireworks at other times really cause me to jump out of my skin, just like other unexpected loud noises. People who speak or laugh very loudly set me off. Construction noises. Dishes being dropped. And so on.
