Hi Folks - thanks for all your help and advice in the past
I have PTSD at 50% at present. I filed a claim for IU and at the same time consideration for increase on my PTSD rating. I received a call from my VSO at VA (wasn't happy with my outside rep so filed directly with VA). Very nice and very helpful actually. After reviewing my VA med records, he sent me a cover letter and forms etc, for more info (21-4138) for "Depression secondary to PTSD" and "Suicidal tendencies (claimed as emotional problems) secondary to PTSD". Note that this is pertaining to my IU claim and not, my PTSD.
So with that in mind, I need help/advice about wording to not have my "depression" issues sound like a repeat of my "PTSD" submital - the two seem closely liked as far as description!
Confused in MN.......welcome home Vets!
PS: My rep has already submitted a request for examination (MH)
