Stressors are conceded due to combat.

PTSD diagnosis is given by VA.

Examiner marked Total Occupational and Social Impairment.

Looks like 100% to me!


Hopefully they will rate you at 100% based on this strong opinion given by the VA examiner. If for some reason the rater decides to give you 70% instead of 100% you will definitely want to appeal. Everything that is needed for them to rate you 100% is given in this exam report.

It's possible you might even end up with an SMC - S rating once all your other conditions are rated. That would add approximately $300 to your monthly compensation.

Any other claims for mental health such as depression or anxiety will be rolled in with this PTSD rating -and they will only give one percentage for any mental health ratings.


If any of your other issues get denied due to no Nexus-you will want to check and see if they are on the list of Gulf War presumptives.
