Greatest sympathy for all those effected by this topic.
Unfortunately, having some experience myself, I feel there are great problems with this issue. The compounding factor that: admitting a problem will probably destroy your life / lifestyle, can make the victim feel that there is no way out (catch-22). I suggest that the basic situation for those who report psychiatric problems should be that they maintain their pay (including all elements) during the duration of their treatment and remaining service. Medical pension payments should reflect the realistic ongoing loss of earnings potential for all Med / War pensions but, they do not!
