I assume you had both physical and mental impairments either alleged or noted in the medical evidence. If they did not send you to an MD, then they had enough medical information in the records regarding your RSD. They then needed to evaluate your mental health. A psychiatrist is not qualified to comment on your RSD and since that was not the purpose of the exam, I can understand that not a lot of time wanted to be wasted on that diagnosis.
