doubled,
I was just medically retired in Feb after almost 9 years active and multiple trips to the Desert. I have had PTSD for a few years, and even spent time in the Nut house last year. My GAF was a 42 and the VA rated every condition as severe, yet the VA only rated me 30%. I currently have a request to have my %s upped. I am 80% with all my conditions. Per the VA policy, raters are suppose to use the GAF scores as a measurement towards %s, but I have a few buds that are raters in Texas and Louisiana and they both say that a lot of VA raters don't go by their own guidelines. I hope you get atleast 30%. Good luck and God Bless you bud. I just quit my job as an agent with the State chasing Violent Sex Offenders. It paid a lot but I could not handle it anymore. I just got Binder and Binder to represent me for my State SSD. I will be struggling soon too with not much income coming in. My wife is very supportive and I just hope the US helps all of us before it is too late.Anyone willing to Sacrifice for their Country, Deserves a Smile on the way Out.
