Axis V Gaf=55

Impression: Mr.Willie 74 is a Coast Guard veteren who meets diagnostic criteria for depression and panic disorder. His inability to manage his panic attacks and his lack of motivation and productivity impact his work functioning. He will likely have diffleculties at this time in any regualr work environment where he feels significant stress. His social functioning is also low. He reported that his prior relationship of two years broke up with him becuase of his physical medical problems. This has increased his isolation and concerns about interacting with others. He does enjoy spending time with his brother.

There is no indication the veteren is not competent to manage any award if granted.

Mr. Willie 74 has undergone mental health treatment in the past with some benefits. He had only recently engaged with the ????? veterns affairs medical center. If he does continue to be engaged in mental health care, it is likely that his mood would improve.

Based on the availiable information, it is more likely than not that his depression and panic attacks are cuased or exacerbated by his service connected medical problems..

I have been seeing a phyc for almost a year and then I decided to claim for depression and panic attacks. My past Gaf were 50

58

60

and the C&p gaf was 55.

What do you all think? I have applied for IU after my intial disability claim and was denied.

"What do you all think? I have applied for IU after my intial disability claim and was denied."

Was the denial before getting this C & P?

"Based on the availiable information, it is more likely than not that his depression and panic attacks are cuased or exacerbated by his service connected medical problems.."

This should get you a SC rating for the depression.

How long ago was the TDIU claim denied?

Is your major depression and panic linked to your service?

[willie 74]

Yes I applied for the IU at my inital which was back in june 09. My C&P for the depression and panic attacks was just done about three weeks ago. I claimed it as secondary to. Yes both of these are service connected and says so on the C&P. Thank you
