Rated Today ….. Q?

Hello,

I was just rated today. I'm grateful I have some help now. While i don't want to dispute my rating, I guess I would like some help on what I should do.

I got kicked out of the military about 6 years ago (Honorably) for MH but it was deemed a condition rather than disability. Within those past six years, I've only worked about 2 of those years. I've just been battling my addiction, fighting SI, being homeless, and building up over 110k in debt trying to stay afloat. I haven't dated anyone in the past 6 years since I got out because of what happened to me in the military. Its an everyday battle to say the least.

I told myself I wouldn't do anything after I was rated, but I think it hurts that my whole life has been fudged because of the torture, MST, and persecution I went through in the military. I feel somewhat balanced right now, and I think I might want to dispute my rating. I'm not fighting for 100 to be well off, I'm honestly fighting to have some justice in what i deserve atleast financially and so i could get a loan discharge, pay off my debt sooner, and hopefully bring financial peace to my battles. Also, gives me some security in my living situation because I was homeless earlier this year, and that was not fun.

I don't know how appeals work. Do I just submit for it? I think my main question is, has anyone ever had to do another C&P exam? Aside from waiting, is the process fairly easy?

It says I have a year to appeal, so I'm definitely not coming back to this for a while but I would appreciate any advice. I think its safe to say thank you, friends.
