Yes sir. That issue would go south like an elevator with a broken cable. 

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

No. I told my doctor I have those thoughts. He asked how I would do it. I said i'd get a cop to kill me. I still own firearms. I have always been 100% truthful with the VA and I advise you to do the same.

What you say, can and will be used against you. In your case, my lay opinion, sounds like it probably should. Sooner, rather than later. I think Drs and other MH Clinicians are now required to Drop a Dime, when presented with the issues you describe. What's your family think?

If you want to off yourself, right or wrong, US society will want to stop you. I'm just concerned about the possibility of you injuring physically or mentally, an innocent person (civilian or PO) in the process.

I know this  anytime a veteran talks about harming themself/killing them self/or harm to others...in MY MH Dept  don't take that lightly...at the VA they are put into the ward/but a Veteran can deny to go  that's the only thing.

If a Veteran ask for help its there for him.

The dude that shot & killed Navy Seal Veteran Kris Kyle   should have been taken to the ward for WATCH he refused to go and they let him go.....look at the outcome of that!

I highly recommend you get the help you obviously need for you and your family and others around you.

That time in my life was hard. Near the start of my process with the VA in 2010. Point is, I didn't lose my rights to own firearms.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
