Hi,
This is the direct ruling from my R.O Service Manager as to denial of benefits.
That a veteran may have been treated for a particular condition while on active duty, does not mean that the condition will automatically be considered service - connected.
In order to establish service conection, there must be evidence of a Chronic Disability or Disease directly linked to Military Service.
My anxiety took many years to be considered Chronic?
I was first diagnosed with mild, then came acute and not until 1978 did my anxiety become diagnosed as Chronic.
Maybe this is what I am missing and can't understand.
Thanks Josephine
