If your awarded IU  it depends on your severity of your  s.c.disability

if it shows not to improve in your life time  or its rated as chronic and NO future exams scheduled...if it is you should get P&T

if it don't you will likely get the IU with future exams scheduled.

Oh it’s severe enough. Five suicide attempts in the past 7 years - four of which were attempted hanging and the last one was almost walking in front of a car in February.

Been hospitalized multiple times for migraine headaches and admitted to inpatient VA psychiatric ward three times in the past two years.

Yes sounds like it to me  but you need a Qualified Dr to state this , they don't take the veterans word on it , all these S.A.* (suicide attempts) needs to be documented in your medical records,which I am sure they will be.

This is probative & credible  evidence.

I have an IME w/IMO from a board-certified psychiatrist stating it is. In the IMO, he went through my medical history in chronological order starting from my military service till now.

It’s why an attorney even took my case to begin with - the RO was just rubber stamping denial for my claim. Now we go to the BVA, and hopefully I win there.

Roger that.

what was there reason for the denial? 

hope you have all this paper work (MEDICAL RECORDS FROM SERVICE AS WELL AS PRIVATE RECORDS AND WHAT THE VA Has on you. so you can get your correct EED.

Line up your symptoms the C&P Examiner checks yes in his report  & according to this rating formula is what you should be rated.

Occupational and social impairment due to mild or transient symptoms which decrease work efficiency and ability to perform occupational tasks only during periods of significant stress, or symptoms controlled by continuous medication.	10

Two unfavorable C&P exams - one for the migraines and the other for depression. Filed a NOD and submitted the IME w/IMO, still got denied. 

I have all my records in a fire proof vault.

Now my claim is going before the BVA.

something seems very wrong here you been denied for these in the last 7 years? and you submitted all your evidence Dr'reports   Law reports VA Reports   all is of Record......>the whole enchilada 

''Five suicide attempts in the past 7 years - four of which were attempted hanging and the last one was almost walking in front of a car in February.''

for the past 7 years  if you been in Appeals this long  and have recieved a DENIAL on each Appeal ? With SOC  SSOC something is not right?

   you should have already filed I-9 to the BVA or CAVC.....SOMETHING JUST DON'T SEEM RIGHT?
