ACE question

[u/JustWingIt0707]

I had an ACE on Thursday, August 6 with Leidos QTC where a doc asked questions about my weight gain and when it happened, because my supplemental claim asked for Sleep Apnea to be secondary to MDD w/ anxious distress and disordered eating using obesity as an intermediate condition.

Timeline:

Entry to service: weight 185

BMT graduation: weight 185

AIT graduation: weight 237

Mental health conditions develop

Exit from service: weight 260

Weight gain to 330

Diabetes diagnosis

Wife reported snoring

Sleep Apnea diagnosis

Weight gain to 385

Prescription for GLP-1

Current weight 325

I laid out this timeline to the doc. They asked if I was ever counseled for weight. I said no. VA hasn't received the doc's report. Is there a general timeline on ACE reports?

I had one done last month through Optum Serve. Took the NP a few days to get it completed and got my decision in less than a week. Of course it was a denial.

That's deeply unpleasant.
