I will need to see it in Writing!!!

Axis I

PTSD (309.81)

Bipolar II Disorder (296.89

Sexual Sadism (302.84) is this under a mental disorder ???

PTSD includes symtoms of anxiety, panic attacks and obsessive compulsive behaviors. Bipolar Disorder includes his mood symtoms-despression hypomania, impulsitivity, racing thoughts. His sexual abberations are included in his paraphilla

AxisII

Personality Disorder with antiSocial disorder (301.7)

Axis III, Many Medical problems

AxisIV Problems with primary support group, Problems related to the social enviroment, Occupational problems, problems related to interaction with the legal system

Current GAF 35

The claimant is technically empolyed but doing no work. He has been sent to an office in a distant city from where his last trouble were. He is being investigated and sued for sexual harassment and various other complaints. In my opinion his mental disorders would preclde him from employment in any other company

Effects of PTSD on Occupational and Social Functioning

X in box: Total occupational and social impairment due to PTSD signs and Symtom

and also due to Bipolar Disorder and his sexual paraphila. He insomnia and nightmares, ritualistic and checking behaviors includong his sexual aberrations, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, history of assaultive behavior, grandiosity, poor marital and family relationship, restricted range of emotions, hypomania, no social friends, poor memory, poor self care, racing thoughts. With these symptoms and with his records he likely unemployable. He has no real relationship with friend or even family.

Psychosocial functional status and quality of life: After his return from Vietnam, he has almost consistently unable to function in a work enviroment and has no social involvement, even with his wife and kids.. His problems have become steadily worse over the years. There were many complaints about work behaviors and has had many jobs the past several years. This last group of incidents appears to be the end of the line for his working career as he is facing lawsuits for sexual harassment. He is not taking basic care of his hygiene. He is homeless and is living in the office that is own by the company.

PTSD symptoms require continous medications

PTSD symptoms are severe enough to interfere with occupational and social functioning.

Prognosis for PTSD

I do not see any hope for improvement for this claimant. He is suffering from severe PTSD, for which he has received little treatment over these many years. In addition, he meets criteria for Bipolar Disorder and sexual paraphilla. All these are futher complicated by long standing maladaptive personality characteristics.

Your opinion, no matter how harsh, will be repected

I like this statement:

He states characteristics of. I do not consider this is not a personality disorder.

Do turn in the TDIU form immediately if you have not, for without it

the VA will not grant you unemployable.

This is what happened to me.

[sgmdae]

I can apply for TDIU before the rating

The examiner stated that she doesn't feel I can be employed anywhere

[Josephine]

Yes, the sooner the better.

Where did you have this exam? indy?

If you did, you should shoot Yoggie2 a PM. You may have had the same Doctor.

As far as the PD, your PTSD diagnosis will overpower it. I dont think the VA likes to rate any PD.

You should be fine and you will be rated soon.

Keep an eye on the Indy RO they are full of surprises. I have seen several on claims as strong as yours.

Thanks, yes I have heard about Indy, and Yoggie has warned me also.

So I not getting my hopes up. I have read the exam a couple times, I can't see them rating low,

obviously the write up will cause a rate increase or a NOD approval. I also been told that TDIU, and SSDI is in good shape with this report. Again I have been in the system since 6/2/2009, I am a novice

and have lost lots of sleeps over worry about this
