Question
asheth007
I am a little bit confused on the mental health claim process. I understand you can have multiple issues but you get one MH rating and it is usually the highest one rated since it is the most sever. Adjustment disorder is different than PTSD so I understand that. PTSD use to just be passed off as adjustment disorder. I have read something about the VA likes to give adjustment disorder diagnoses so that they can try to claim it happened prior to service. My mental health issues are all tied to my service connected disability. So I think I am good there.
So am I following along with how the VA looks at all this correctly so far? Do I need more evidence/visits with behavioral medicine/neurology and get there take on everything prior to submitting or do I have enough now? I have only been off active duty for 5 months
