This is brilliant, pacman1x. Thank you. For reopening the claim, should I employ a DAV group, or is it easy enough to do on my own?
Someone on this forum, I think, said because back pay's so large (I read somewhere that the VA usually assigns 70% sc disability for this diagnosis- it's either nothing, 70% or 100% if one can't keep out of psychiatric hospitals as I understand it) it must go before a judge.
And yes, I see how Clemons may addresses the issue of the inpatient doctors misdiagnosing my bipolar symptoms...
Edit: Ahh, Form 20-0995, perhaps.
