you may entitled to a 100 percent rate if you are unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation because of your service connected disabilities.
If you believe you qualify, complete, sign, and return Veterans Application the enclosed VA form 21-8940 , Veterans Application for increased compensation Based
on Unemployability . I just had a c & p exam about two weeks ago for MDD VA DR. gave 30 percent not sure of the gaf score my private DR. gave a Gaf score of 45.
Here's the break down
30% MDD caused by chronic pain
20%rt shoulder
20% left shoulder secondary to rt. shoulder
10% rt clavicle
10% left bicep secondary to rt. shoulder
10% foot
0%scar
Total 70%
I'm currently on SSDI because of my service connected disabilities
1. should I appeal for a rating higher than 30% base on the my 2 private DR. gaf scores of 45
2.my bilaterial factors rt. shoulder combined with my left shoulder and left bicep will this give me the 40% need for a 100 percent rate.
3. will they consider the 30% MDD + 20%rt +20%Lt+10%Lt+0%scar all of this as one injury.

Today my private doctor wrote a statement saying that the vet was in an accident while in the military where he sustained injuries to his foot the current status of his foot is more likely than not related
in some way to his prior service and the injury sustained during the service.
can anyone tell me what they think about this statement.
