minor correction but your application will not get to DC until the HIMS process is followed. You did not mention and i am not asking but if you are on meds for MDI (bipolar depression) you will not prevail in this endeavor. If you were on meds or never took any then it will depend on FAA psychiatry, psychology and neurocog testing. That will all go to DC.
