1454th Solider Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Should you tell the C&P examiner, if asked, about any medication you have been prescribed for a mental health issue, if you are trying to get it service connected. Can that hurt your rating or worst? Edited May 7, 2020 by 1454th Solider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ask you a question if you don't know say you don't and they will expalin it to you. I have only seen private docs so far and they are the ones to prescribe everything. I haven't been to the VA yet. Thanks Newdisabledvet I pray you find comfort daily. Great insight, this helps a lot! Newdisabledvet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 caubulldog Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I am 100% for Bipolar and it pays to be honest with doctors. I always remind them that I check myhealthyevet for their treatment notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medication is not a cure anymore than a prosthetic is.

What are you asking? They are going to see it anyway- and if they don’t the rater will. Why wouldnt you, unless you aren’t really prescribed something and are self prescribing or buying online somewhe
