ptsd Ptsd Cp Exam Results

[Papa]

I got both my results back today for my physical and PTSD. I'm really confused about the GAF score that she gave me. I was rated at 55 with a 30 percent, now she rated me at 50 GAF. My question is is this all the VA goes by, or do they read her entire report? According to the report I should not be allowed to go the the bathroom by my self. She clearly stated there is a connection between my PTSD and my eating disorder. She also stated that I suffered from severe depression and oppressive compulsive disorder. That I would not be able to function in a work enviroment. My thought is that they will look at only the GAF score and rate me accordingly, would I be clorrect to assume this?

"Unemployable in his career field" does not equal TDIU. You must be totally disabled from substantial work in all fields due solely to SC conditions. This to me is a mistake on the doctor's part in not being clear about defining TDIU. The doctor probably means you are unemployable, but that is not what it says. The VARO quibbles.

Of course that begs the question of what career field one is fit for if they have all these other issues? I hope you have an IMO.

reading this all over again (the report) the overall report does seem to carry more overall weight than the summary statement...the report itself to me says overall. again, will share redacted version of report (only my name n soc removed) elders, moderators.
