ptsd Ptsd

[Loma Linda Bill]

I just sent in a letter from my Pchychatrist, stating that I have been sexually traumatized in basic training in Ft. Knox, and my mosr recent GAF score is 45, and he has placed me on medication for it and I would like to know my possible disability rating they will come back with, I filed it with the DAV in san diego, and I am still seeing my Dr. at Loma Linda along with a LCSW for 1 on 1 sessions, and she stated my prognosis is very poor, and I am unemployable due to my social security rater, he placed me on total disability but I do not know about the VA can anyone help me or let me know what to do or think will happen?

Thanks, Bill

The VA gives Ratings in increments of 0,10,30,50,70, and 100 but you never no about the va.In my opinion, if you are rated for ptsd i would guess 50 or more and if you are unemployable you need to get a letter from your psychiatrist of psychologist stating that you are unemployable now, and in the future

Do you mean you are receiving SSDI benefits due to PTSD from sexual trauma?

If so did SSDI have a proof of the inservice nexus?

The VA web site ( and many BVA cases) available under BVA Decisions search can provide excellent advise as to what types of proof these claims can require.

I think 30% cause they like to low ball! Then appeal then they will probably go to 50% with validated medical/psychological documentation.
