Question:
I am 100% P&T with PTSD with a nexus related to my first enlistment with an honorable discharge. I also receive SSDI with PTSD as the disabling condition I received a BCD due to a Special Court Martial near the end of my second enlistment BCNR has denied my request for upgrade in part due to a lack of "Nexus" between my disability and my conduct which is in direct contradiction of the VA findings and post service medical notes. What is my next step?

It sounds as if you've been going it alone in your attempt to have a discharge upgraded. The success rate for a DIY attempt is low, you need professional representation.
