I brought my depression up with my doctor. He wrote a letter stating that he thought my depression was coming from my back pain. I think you should discuss it with your doctor and see what he says. It wasn't difficult for me, but I had been suffering with chronic pain for over 15 years. The VA sometimes pulls some ridiculous crap on some of us. Just keep learning and fighting them. I had the VA deny SC for my neck at ETS. I reapplied years later and was denied because there was no evidence of a neck condition in my military records, according to VA. The VA didn't bother to look into my records. I had a full copy of my medical records and sent them a copy of one page showing neck treatment. The VA started to figure it out then.

Yeah I don't want to give in because there are real issues that they are just brushing to side. They clearly state that I have been diagnosed with a major depressive order at the VA I go too. I've sent my decision letter to attorney so hopefully he can make a case for me. I do believe them admitting that I've been diagnosed with anxiety and a major depressive order that's half the battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
