Hi Chief, I have already read all of this. I just was looking for people who have had succes stories of actaull getting benefits based on mental illness, and also getting an unfair OTH.

HI Guys, I was diagnosed with Bi Polar 2 while i was in the military. I had a tough go due to things i would rather not explain here. I was issues an OTH, and have never really thought about it after I was discharged. I have had a private psy for years, and she has told me to look into. I have read and read, but IM trying to figure out is it worth it to try to file a claim with an OTH. I had a pattern of misconduct, and well I just wanted out. I was told many times by my command i was crazy, and could hack the miltary life. Fast forward 20 years, and Im still sick. I have been waiting almost 14 months for my health records, but they still havent came. I am pretty content with my current psy and dont wiash to switch. My question I guess is this. With an OTH from 20 years ago what can i expect to possibly gain for filing a claim with the VA? I know that no one can possibly predict the outcome, but if its something like I get a free psy the rest of my life, or if they want to shove prescripts down my throat. Is their anything beneficial I could possibly get out of it like benefits, my VA benefits, back pay. Im sorry I konw this may sound one sided, but the things i was put through and the things that were done to me while I served....Well I would just like to know best case scenerio worst case scenerio. Also for the love of god how can i get my medical records . If it all possible I would like to speak to berta about this. She has talked to me once before about 6 years back. I dont remember how or why but she told me about this forum.
