How will this affect my disability rating?

And patients who have been service-connected

for a mental health disorder sometimes have concerns

that starting therapy, completing therapy,

actually getting better is going to affect their income.

And that's a tricky one to answer because I,

as a VA clinician, don't have much involvement

in the service-connection end of things.

But what I can tell patients is that in six years

of doing VA therapy, I've never had a patient lose

service-connection because of completing therapy.
