USMC CPL 3 1/2 years in service
So, my case manager says I need an addendum from my psychiatrist, but when I ask my shrink about it, he says that the psychiatrist I had seen before him put in her notes before she got re-stationed that an addendum wasn't warranted. He said because in one part of the notes that my psychologist wrote 2 years ago she wrote that I had taken anti depressants prior to my enlistment, she found my psychiatric conditions to be pre-existing (Anxiety disorder, PTSD, Major Depression, insomnia etc.). Having never stated that, this leaves me quite worried that I won't get compensated for my conditions that came about after I got back from my deployment to Iraq.
Can these entries be challenged?
What does a psych addendum look like?
Who writes and signs this document?
Any help with these questions would be great. Thanks
