0 Cjohnson Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 is there a rating schedule for PTSD available? Reason I ask, is I wish I knew more about all of these topics when I was checking out of the military. I had no idea what the result was when I was talking to the base VA doctor, and didn't understand PTSD and its effects. I simply accepted my %10 for PTSD and moved on. Knowing what I know now and after several conversation with folks, I have been getting shorted for over a decade now, based on the severity of my situation. Is there more information on how to appeal the decision that far back, or ask for an increase, how they grade increases, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there more information on how to appeal the decision that far back, or ask for an increase, how they grade increases, etc? PTSD has a different set of C&P exam questions, but in the end it is based on the mental health rating criteria. The VA will rate on mental health based on social and occupational deficiency/severity, not the total # of of diagnosed disorders. Here are all the rating tables: http://www.benefits.va.gov/warms/bookc.asp If you are currently SC for a MH issue and you think it worsened, you can consider requesting an increase. Before you do that, take a look at your progress notes from your provider for the last 12 calendar months and compare that to the rating criteria. For example, if you got 10% now, look at the criteria for 30% and compare that to your treatment records. For increases, the VA can increase based on what is in your treatment records from the past 12 calendar months. Otherwise, it might require a CUE, which is a tough fight. Good luck!

The most simple advice I see is when you walk into the doc (C&P or otherwise), and they say, "How are you?", don't just be polite and say, "Fine". Per your own topic title, we have to remind fellow veterans to "Tell the truth". Please keep in mind that many of us may still have the "suck it up and drive on" mentality which was drilled into our brains while serving the military. It is very difficult for many to shake and sometimes they lose their relationships, families, and homes before they get real help. It is important to support and nudge them in the right direction. Some may still be in and are getting ready to get out. Most of the rest are likely already out. The remainder are friends or loved ones of fellow service members/veterans who care. Advice like I described helps to deprogram from military to non-military life. They took care of their country and it's time for their country to take care of them - sometimes it takes a shift in perspective for then to be able to get the help they badly need.
