mental health diagnoses get 0%, 30% 50% 70% and 100% and in many cases 70%TDIU which pays at the same level as the 100% rate I know nothing about bi-polar but the severity of your symptoms and how it affects your life, family, professional life ability to work

I got a rating for bipolar of 30%. It depends on if you are working. I was working and had been working for some years. If your bipolar is so bad you can't work then TDIU or 100% is very possible. Getting the PD dx thrown out was your major victory.

Hello John, and thanks for the feed back. I got out of the airforce in 1987 with a honarable discharge ( condition that interfer with military service) it said this at the bottom of my dd214. I was a crew cheif on the f4 fight jet. 5 months before they offered discharge i went to see my CO and express my high level of depression, stress, anexinty, nightmares,ect. and told him that i no longer felt confedent working on the flight line. and stessed the saftey issue. I was sent to the head doc. and he dx me with mixed pd. 5 months later i was given or offerd a discharge. honarable. I had a outstanding record until the last 15 months of service. dui, detached personaly, heavy drinking, and they sent to work in the tool room. 7 months after discharge i was in my first VA rehab. and about 20 va rehab's later in 2008 I finally requested my records and for the first time i read the head doc findings from that visit back in 1986. he said I had mixed personalty disorder. I was shocked! (all these years did'nt realize i had gounds for a claim). so i had one sent in from a vet rep for depression in 2008. 2009 got a denile letter requesting more eveidence. I never followed up. now I came back thought rehab once again in aug 2010 and stable in tran, housing @ Coatesville va. got and unexped letter for a C&P exam. and yes it was the depression claim. that's went he said i was missed dx and he was putting me in for bipolar. Questons... where do I go for this point.( it was only a week ago) wait the c&p report and findings? and how can i request a copy of the report? should i get a claims rep asap!? a lawery? I am Homeless living in tran housing. Can i get back pay form 1987 from my missed dx and discharge? wait and see if I get a rating ? Thanks Mike
