They should rate it all together - that is what they decide of your MH

is SC'd, and provide the highest evaluation warranted by medical evidence.

I was SC for bipolar disorder, ptsd, panic, and schizophrenia......yes, almost impossible, so the VA just rated me 70% for schizophrenia. They threw it all at the wall and waited for the last thing to stick.

They will rate you on residual symptomology in relationship to

occupational and social functioning.
