I do have one entry in my SR/HR when I was suicidal that mentions my dsm symptoms, but the VA psychologist says it ain't good enough and that all they did was see me and say i should go to stress managment. his sticking point is they released me for "full duty". no history of MH before the service either

I was thinking maybe I should write up a statement that tells my side of it with each employer? Maybe this is a bad idea or there is no good idea, but these employers basically hate me, like i hate them, so I don't expect them to tell the truth. What do you think? write my side up or just let them be told whatever people I hate will tell them?

Hello. I have a claim in for my hearing & mental issues, PTSD, and others. A few months later I also submitted a IU application on the advice of a county Vet Rep. I cant stay employed and can't find jobs, sometimes for years. Well they approved the hearing but deferred the PTSD / mental. Just the other day I found out they contacted three of my last employers with a form 4192 about my mental claims. The VA themselves told me they did this. Since my mental claims are still deferred and they haven't decided if they are service connected yet, I am wondering......... When do they contact past employers? Do they do it ONLY if you have a service connection?? or will they do it just because you submitted an IU application (even if you don't yet have a service connection)?? I am hoping maybe this is a good sign that maybe they service connected me for the mental issues & just haven't told me yet- pending my IU application outcome. thank you
