Bipolar vs. PTSD

[John Galt]

Not sure if this will get answered.  But here is my question.  I have been rated 70% for PTSD (non-permanent) and bipolar as non-service connected.  My main issue with me mentally is Bipolar and the PTSD just sauce for the goose.  Both are affecting my job, my marriage and just about everything else.  Do I need to request an eval for Bipolar or will that request open me up for a re-eval of my PTSD?  I want to show my bipolar service connection.  I have 14 months of depression, bipolar, PTSD diagnosis when I was in the Service along with two hospitalizations (4 days, 24 days) along with suicide attempts.  So I think I will do well, but I don't want that to cause damage to the 70% ruling.

So if this were me I would for sure go after this as you sound to be higher than 70%.  I know this is daunting but it sounds like you need to fight this. We are here to help.
