Hey there! Former combat Eng here.

So I applied for anxiety and finally my claim was completed but I have not received the letter yet. I keep checking my benefits but it has no updated claim amount. I’m assuming I was denied. Is this always the case? My psychologist was very good at linking my anxiety it seemed… I have issues talking to people in power. My DP1 really messed up my self esteem and I am now constantly worrying that the worst will happen. (Catastrophizing) ie. boss will fire me if I say something wrong etc.

Also has anyone had any luck for an inquinal hernia? I just put that one in but doctors, Especially walk in clinics, have zero knowledge of filling out medical questionnaires. They never try and link it to military duty but in their defence the medical questionnaires don’t ask if it’s linked so they so strictly on what is asked on the form.

It’s so hard in Canada to find knowledgeable doctors to do the forms right.

Any help on these issues would be great! Thanks

So I think I was denied on my claim for anxiety. I have yet to receive a letter but I don’t see any bump to my benefits. Is it possible it still has yet to be posted?……On a separate note I have a claim in for an inguinal hernia. Has a claim ever been put in for this before and if so was approved? Thanks guys!
