Im getting out sometime this year, just havent narrowed down a date yet. I just want to get out ahead of the VA claims process. I plan to claim:
-Major Depressive Disorder (diagnosed by PCM. Came about bc of an EO complaint of discrimination), currently seeing a counselor out on the town. I was hesitant to go to behavioral health. I didnt want to be put in in-patient care by the psychiatrist.
When i go to file, will the VA look at the records from the counselor the same way they'd look at records from a psychiatrist/psychologist?
-Left shoulder bursitis/bicep tendonitis
-Chronic low back pain
-Tension headaches (i feel like they're migraines)
-Tinea barbae. Had a permanent shaving profile for a little over a year from a military doctor. My bumps don't flare up too bad these days. Will that have a negative impact at the C&P exam?
-Ringing in ears
-Tinea versicolor
-ED
I want to make sure i have all my ducks in a row before i get everything together to go file.
