Discharged For Panic Disorder

[toolbox]

First off I want to say hello and that it is a relief to have found such a great website. I just got involuntarily separated from the Navy after serving 8 years for panic disorder w/ agoraphobia. No ship would take me cause I was on meds so they adsep'd me out. I sent my claim to VA and was wondering if anyone has any idea what I can expect for a disability rating if anything at all for this condition? Hopefully I will atleast get to get my meds when I run out Thanks for any info you might have,

Nick

Panic disorder and agraphobia is a medical condition. There is no question about this in the medical literature. It is listed under the Anxiety disorders just like PTSD. It is my opinion (which accounts for little since I am not a shrink) that you were discharged for a medical condition just like me and Pete53. Appeal the character of your discharge and bring a expert witness to your hearing if you can afford it. I just hate to see the military get away with this stuff when they know very well you have a medical condition.

John gave good advice. Don't give up. They can't call panic disorder a personality disorder anymore.
