I am also wondering if I should use a lawyer or try on my own at first. I am pretty sure I have all of the documentation I will need to make a valid claim........a ton of visit summaries with my psychiatrist (including MEDCAT profile dates and information, PTSD & Anxiety & Panic Disorder...

I’m trying to figure out which Board I should send my Documentation to. I Served in the Active Army from 14 Jun 1999 - 18 Jun 2014 but was involuntary separated due to exceeding my RCP, I also Served in the Army Reserves from 19 Jun 2014 - 23 Nov 2018. My psychiatrist from Active Duty refused...
