So after 5 years of appeals, I was finally sc for depression. I was rated at 30%. My issue is that I wasn't honest with the doctors or evaluator about suicidal thoughts.
It was stupid, but I just don't trust them enough to have told them. I just found out though that having the thoughts would qualify for 70%.
I looked through my mental health notes and saw at least one time the doctor did mention that I had them.
My question is, should I appeal the decision again and start being honest or just start being honest and file for an increase in a few months?
Thank you.
