I was diagnosed with a mental disorder in 1988 and never told or treated and then discharged in 89. Filed for other issues that were denied and the VA tells me that a favorable finding is that I was diagnosed with this mental disorder. So I decided to put the other claims on hold and file for the mental disorder they diagnosed me with and never treated me for. My question is how should i pursue this and can I get effective date back to discharge since they never told me?

First thing to do is make a claim for it. That will start the date for compensation. I doubt that they will go back to a date where no claim was made, but you need to get the MH condition service co
