Question
signalsix
Long story short, when I went in for my TBI exams the Doctor told me I had PTSD in addition to TBI. But I was afraid of losing my security clearance so I asked her not to mention the PTSD in her report and she was kind enough to honor my request. Now a year later, I found out you do not have to report any sessions with a psychologist or psychiatrist if it is related to combat experiences. So I have requested an appointment with the mental health team at the VA.
Now my question, will the mental health team provide a diagnosis of PTSD after meeting with them? I know i have PTSD and have decide I need help, but would also like to file for service connection. Would it be worth while to call the psychologist I saw last year at the TBI clinic?
Thanks
