Hi Skunk,

Have you seen any private doctors for this or do you not have any insurance?

[Berta]

In deed they are Skunk-

please read the reply I made regarding the Reconsidertion request-

I forget-do you have a service officer or vet rep?

Did you NOD the denial on the PTSD-acquired Psychiatric decision?

What was the exact diagnosis you were hospitalized for?

The nexus-what was the specific wording in the decision that they used to question the nexus?

Do you have a CAR or the PH on your DD 214?

Is your DD 214 correct? Are you sure?

Have you ever requested a DD 215 via a DD 149?

They sent my husband 4 more awards/decorations when he filed a DD 149 (USMC Vietnam 65-66)

[Berta]

Here is the DD 149 attached-

Just put Not Applicable to the injustice stuff.

Men and women -the DOD made countless errors on DD 214s during the Vietnam War-

They have made errors on them ever since too-

If you have any doubt at all that your DD 214 is right- send them a DD 149.

I am confused here again-

are you the bi polar vet in other posts under different topic?

Were you diagnosed with Bi polar in service?

Is this what you were hospitalized for?

As I mentioned here before-I have vet friend-bi polar whose claim took 12 years-

I had a hard time getting him to follow my advise on something- he just kept forgetting to do it and FINALLY -this took about 3 or 4 years-to convince him -to do it- he did it and in the long run was awarded 12 years retro 100% comp SC bi polar-from the BVA.

Not his fault but the fault of his disability-

Another thing that we had to convince VA was that the Navy did not understand bi polar when he was in-service ----his VA doctor-who I also knew well- stated this fact in a report---I think I was actually with him once when he saw this doctor fopr therapy-

the Navy thought it was a discipline problem.

It was his first manifestations of bi polar-in his disciplinary inservice reports.

This might be why the VA is giving you different diagnoses here-

what was it they actually hospitalized you for?

[Berta]

wait-I am confusing myself !!!!Sorry Skunk and all here-

Do you get SC comp FOR bi polar?

The VA only makes one comp award for mental disabilities.They lump them all together-

I apologise-I thought they denied you comp on the bi polar-

If the bi polar rating is not as high as it should be- per the VA Schedule of ratings here at hadit- by all means ask them for higher rating-

you want to get the ratings higher then the pension you get and certainly- if you can- apply for TDIU ASAP if you are unemploed.
