You can try to claim it but they are going to put it all together under 1 MH rating anyway. You can't have 2 specific MH ratings.

(I AM NOT A RATER- I work the claims BEFORE they are rated, annotating medical evidence in your records, VA and Legal documents,  and DA/DD forms- basically a paralegal/vso/etc except that I also evaluate your records based on Caluza and try to justify and schedule the exams that you go to based on whether or not your records have enough in them to warrant those)

yes you can file two claims at once but they don't like it. read this information about FDC Claims.

brokensoldier244th is correct  you can only get one mental heath rating   PTSD or Depression  one or the other.
