This is not true and this is how people think they should apply for VA benefits for things that happened in the past and are no long causing them problems. But a VA disability has to be based on something happening now. This is why it causes problems with FAA medicals. We have several articles...

Most definitely.

Depends on what they were/are. In general it is going to be the final diagnosis that matters unless there were unrelated diagnoses. For example, if the ER diagnosed you with "dyspnea" which is difficulty breathing, that really is a symptom and not a final diagnosis. The FAA will want to know why...

Depending on your actual pressures you may or may not meet the CACI criteria even. If you meet CACI criteria, have everything squared away, and go to a good AME that knows how to handle CACI protocols then you can be issued at the exam (assuming no other medical issues)...

A recent heart attack would be any heart attack that the FAA doesn't yet know about.

If you have already been to a HIMS AME and started the process then you have effectively accepted the dependency diagnosis yourself. You aren't getting out of it now.

The process may be very difficult. But it really depends on the situation.

For your specific scenario you need to report the visit to the ER and what the result was. You'll need to be able to articulate it to your AME, but it sounds like a bad bout of heartburn/indigestion. You also need to report the trip to the cardiologist, but similarly it seems like it was...

If your VA disability rating is from a while ago then you just have to prove that you are better now. What you can't do is get a NEW VA diagnosis for something like this and try to tell the FAA you are fine.

Prior SSRI use is not necessarily disqualifying. If you aren't taking it now you don't have to list it. However, personality disorders do have to be disclosed and depending on the level of impairment, it may or may not cause difficulty. If you are doing well, it is easy enough to show that with...

Did you get your medical back? Companies generally just want to know if you hold the required medical for the job. They can't ask if it is a special issuance and why.

Diabetes is one of the more complicated reviews so it does take several months, sorry.

This will depend on the reason for the psychosis. If they psychosis was "organic" then as Eldorado pointed out, you'd have to try and prove it was an incorrect diagnosis. If, however, the psychosis was secondary to another medical condition, you just have to show that the medical condition that...
