It is essential that you prove that your depression is related to your active service in order for you to qualify for VA disability benefits for depression. If you have a disability based on hearing loss or tinnitus, you must prove that your depression was caused by these conditions. In a case like this, you want to file a secondary service connection claim.
This means that even though your medical conditions are not related to direct service, there is a medical connection.
