dear Tammy
I do voluntary pension advocacy for australian war veterans. My query is. "can the symptons for PTSD or behaviour traits also include a eating disorder." I am doing a widows pension whereby the vet passed away as result of obesity causing diabetics. I was looking for a connection to his military enviroment (mental disorder) that would change his diet and quantity of diet habits that lead to obesity. I am still trying to get a look at the DSM-IV which is recognised as basis in law in our claims system.
thank you.
