Question
DVET
I recently was awarded 50% for Dysthymia but denied the deferred unemployability portion of the claim. I noticed that my VA doctor and the mental health clinic diagnosed me with Dysthymia, Biplolar, Depression, back in 2007. I was denied service connection for Bipolar in 2009, so I filed for depression in Feb. 2011. That's what I was awarded Dysthymia for effective April 2011.
My question is does anyone think I can win at the DRO level an award date of January 2007 instead of April 2011 due to my VA mental health clinic records showing the diagnosis since then. I don't know why they used the date that I filed the latest claim. I thought they would see the Dysthymia in my medical records. Thank you.
