For that matter, you must produce a medical certificate to that effect and then you can get your discharge.

You may take that from the registered practitioner. This may take around a couple of days time to procure a medical certificate.

Yes, this would definitely help your cause but it is better that you take one from the doctor.

Yes it may work for you in this respect.

Then you may send a legal notice through a lawyer to the immediate superior attaching the medical certificate alongside.

Thank you.

There is a good chance that you will be discharged.

Because medical issues do get the benefit.

Yes, it is definitely a medical issue.

Thank you.

Not much more at this point in time. If you feel that you won't be discharged then write directly to the IG DOD.

That you must be discharged on medical grounds.

Yes along with proof that you possess.

The therapists also will do but if you may arrange for the doctor it would be beneficial.

Any doctor who can diagnose correctly for that matter.

Thank you.
