Guest Jim S.
Does the failure by the VAMC Primary Care Dr. and/or Psychiatrist, to test and evaluate the Veteran's history of a mental disorder during service and/or if it may have some bearing on their current diagnoses of an associated mental disorders and/or conditions, rise to the level of a 1151 claim for failing to address the in service diagnosis for treatment and/or how it may bear on the effect and/or treatment of the current diagnosed mental disorder?
I have repeatedly asked to be evaluated for my inservice diagnosis of an acute schizophrenic episode, to determine it's state of remission and or how it may have some bearing on my current diagnosis, but I am rebuffed each time that they are only interested in treating me for my current diagnosis.
Must the Veteran exibit the extreme symptoms of his mental disorder, in order for the VAMC Dr's and/or Psychiatrist's to take notice and do something to help the Veteran cope with the total picture, of his mental disorder?
