Any SSDI that I would receive, would just be deducted from my disability retirement annuity, so I haven’t bothered pursuing it

Never been rated IU, but only because I didn’t see any point. I’m already 100%. My ptsd c&p was done right after the dsm5 came out. I’ve been through several different types of therapies through the va. I worked up until 2015 as a federal employee, until I was forced to retire on fers disability retirement due to ptsd. My va psychiatrist says I’m unemployable and that my ptsd is permanent.

Hi Gastone. I’m 100% scheduler combined. Ptsd rating is 50%, and have been rated for ptsd for 4 years. I do currently have a future c&p scheduled for the ptsd in 2019, just hoping that I can use my doctors notes to get permanent before then. I have a son wanting to go to college in the spring and another right behind him.

Hi all. New here. I am hoping someone can help me with this. I am 100% schedular sc Va disability. I have been 100% for 3 years. The VA currently considers all of my ratings as permanent, with the exception of my ptsd rating. i am needing to be considered permanent so that i can get chapter 35 and champ va for my family, and need to know how to go about asking for that. I had an appt with my va psych doc last week and explained my situation, and he put the following in my va notes: "Assessment: Chronic post traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder with agoraphobia" "Impression: Patient continues to have ptsd and depressive sx and is unemployable. His condition is permanent." Do I just write the VA and ask that they make me "permanent" so that my kids can go to college on chapter 35 and have champ va health insurance? thanks
