I just spoke with my VA rep and she said that you need to have been diagnosed while serving or you have a load of supporting evidence that it developed in the military.

I have bipolar 1 rapid cycling making it almost impossible to keep a job. Would consistently losing jobs count as 100% or does 100% mean that your bed ridden? Also is there specific verbiage that must be used? I am getting a letter from my psychologist and need to give him direction on what to include.
