I had a re eval for my ptsd rating, which incidentally I only got 6 months ago. No clue why I had a re eval so soon? Got the notes today and compared them to the initial evaluation 6 months ago.
This statement is exactly the same on both evals:
------------------------------------- a. Which of the following best summarizes the Veteran's level of occupational and social impairment with regards to all mental diagnoses? (Check only one)
[X] Occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational tasks, although generally functioning satisfactorily, with normal routine behavior, self-care and conversation
b. For the indicated level of occupational and social impairment, is it possible to differentiate what portion of the occupational and social impairment indicated above is caused by each mental disorder? [ ] Yes[ ] No[X] No other mental disorder has been diagnosed
However under this part, a note for delusions, hallucinations is left off the second eval and was on the first. She did note it in the remarks section later, but it was something discussed in detail a this re eval?
4. Symptoms ----------- For VA rating purposes, check all symptoms that actively apply to the Veteran's diagnoses:
[X] Depressed mood [X] Anxiety [X] Panic attacks more than once a week [X] Chronic sleep impairment
Im currently 70% PTSD and am not sure what to make of this. Thoughts?
