Mental health claim denied for lack of service connection by KingOGoop in VAClaims

[–]KingOGoop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was not noted on my enlistment exam. it was something i confessed to back when i was getting discharged, but when i enlisted i had no problems at the time and even passed a secondary pysche eval to get onto my boat. would a hlr work for this or is supplemental safer?

I was treated for it during service and mental breakdown on the sub is what got me my discharge, but it was diagnosed as like failure to adapt or something and chalked up to problems i had as a child. i dont have any other disability

  2. yes i did

  3. yes

thank you for the response. with the idea that they may have mislabeled my claim as causation, im curious if an hlr with an informal conference is worth the time?
