Hi,

You may have already posted this, but what do you receive the 50% SC for?

Do you have a copy of your inservice sick bay or medical records?

Were you treated in service with any type of tranquilizer's?

Did you have things happen to you while on active duty to cause your depression?

A lot of questions, but just trying to help you.

Always,

Betty

OK

Long story short i got hurt out of servcie and i suffer from depression etc...

you got hurt out of service or in service ?

now the VA diagnosed and treats gives me meds for this depression..

What level of credentialed VA doc diagnosed depression ?

What did they relate your depression to ?

i want to file for depression for my medical stuff from the military it affects me physically emotionally sexually personal relationships....

So, file your claim to at least get an ED established.

i know the va will lowball me and say that although i have a current diagnoes of depression but i more than likely my depression is from my accident than my service connect issues..

What accident ?

how can i fight this.. i was thinking of going to a mediacal dr as he is a n expert on how physical condtion can affect your depression....theriapist could do mood disorder but the va will look at it like he has no expert knowledge of mediacl conditons causing depression

with that already in your records, it's going to be very, very hard to prove it otherwise. just my 2 cents worth.
