He said I should get any letters, docs, etc that would support my claim. I asked the therapist I had been seeing for over a year agreed to give me a letter stating that I was unemployable due to the psychological issues from which I suffer. However, 2 days after agreeing to provide this letter she called me at home to explain that she had met with the 2 other"team" members and they had contacted the Vet Adm and after that conversation they can not give me a letter as requested due to a conflict of interest? As this is the only person I have seen for this problem more than 1 time I told her I think her opinion is important although the board make a determination would not be using her letter as the final determining factor. Still, she now refuses to write it.Any suggestions?.
