carlie Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 VA rates PTSD as an anxiety disorder. All MH disorders are rated the same by VA. 9440 Chronic adjustment disorder General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders: Total occupational and social impairment, due to 100 such symptoms as: gross impairment in thought processes or communication; persistent delusions or hallucinations; grossly inappropriate behavior; persistent danger of hurting self or others; intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living (including maintenance of minimal personal hygiene); disorientation to time or place; memory loss for names of close relatives, own occupation, or own name....................... Occupational and social impairment, with 70 deficiencies in most areas, such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood, due to such symptoms as: suicidal ideation; obsessional rituals which interfere with routine activities; speech intermittently illogical, obscure, or irrelevant; near-continuous panic or depression affecting the ability to function independently, appropriately and effectively; impaired impulse control (such as unprovoked irritability with periods of violence); spatial disorientation; neglect of personal appearance and hygiene; difficulty in adapting to stressful circumstances (including work or a worklike setting); inability to establish and maintain effective relationships...........................

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted March 17, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 17, 2009 What you would probably get is 30%,50%,70% or 100% depending on symptoms. You won't get 80% for PTSD. It usually jumps up 20 points at a time. You could even start at 10% like I did for a mental condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
