Summary of claim:

I claimed an “Acquired Psychiatric Condition to include Depression” and “Irritable Bowel Syndrome” and was rated 70% and 30% respectfully. This bumped me from 20% I’d had since 2018 to 80%. It took me 3 years to be seen by a VA specialist and be diagnosed with IBS. I entered the MH exam without a formal diagnosis besides my in-service diagnoses for MDD, insomnia, and headaches.
