It's been a year and a day since I filed my latest claim. It's still at the "gathering evidence" stage. Going to head down Thursday and file another claim. But before I do I need some clarification.
#1 I've a lower back injury. With that comes nerve damage. I've got nerve problems in the lower left leg. Is this now rated separately from the lower back?
I will be filing for depression. I'm being treated by my PCP with Desipramine. I've only been taking it a week but it has helped with my sleep problem and with the pain radiating down my legs. It may even be helping with my depression.
#2 Is being treated by my PCP enough to validate a claim of depression?
