[Ptsd And Collecting Ssa]

Thanks your correct i was getting the score for ptsd and tinnitius, ddd, hearing all 4 of them.

But i hope to get at least 75% for PTSD alone and the others get me the 100% if not I will use the IU ( from SSA) disability awarded me as my kicker later with Agent Orange and PT Arthritius as part of my other 30 or 40% I need to make it total a 100% for all.

Bless you and thanks for your service also !

Not sure where you got 60% for PTSD

VA rates it at 10-30-50-70 & 100% per regulations:

Yes Im in a POST PTSD regular class and a PTSD medics class since i was an Company Aid man in my team. Yes im also be told i have Bi-polar disorder as part of me PTSD treatment. My past 3 GAF socres have been around 39 to 45. i just put into for ptsd and will add IU later after they give me a rating. My VA doctor is working to bring in my other medical isses as part of my lcaim. tinnnitus and loss of hearingin my hear rea, Mingraines, and hypertenion and than IU later to bring up my rating later to 100%

IM trying for

60% PTSD, part of SSA approval for my PTSD scores

10% Tinnnitus

20% Hearing loss

30% Degenergation Disc Disease why i got SSA approval letter for full disability

after the raters give me my rating

VA dont know yet about the last part of my claoim yet

For IU 30%

Agent Orange 10%

Post Tramatiaic Arthiatius 10%

to make the 100% total VA

Now I have to wait for the C & P exam if they ask for it !

I have all my partol reports and lso have no exit exam medical report

Thanks for you input and Bless you .

Since you have Combat Action Ribbon your stressor is conceded. You have to get a DX of PTSD in your VA records and then your SSD should help you get at least IU. I think I would do as Pete says and get in treatment for PTSD at the VA. Get some records going and put in your claim for PTSD. Stay in treatment at the VA for the PTSD. Every visit helps document your PTSD. After you get SC'ed for PTSD stay in treatment.

It should help you but what is your 10% for and can you show that you got PTSD from your Service?

[Ptsd And Collecting Ssa]

I was just awarded full disability from SSA, and cant never work any

more how does the VA than rate me for PTSD if i cant work and am

disabilied ? I started my VA claim 4 months ago. Will they turn down

my PTSD since i cant work, but i attend 2 weekly meeting for PTSD

at the VA clinic and will be on going for a long time to receive

treatments as needed. MY GAF 39 and DDD were the reason i was

awarded by SSA at age 60. I was moved from SSI to full disability

March 17th and now will receive SSA monthly.

All replies will be accepted bless you

Thank you

"Post-traumatic arthritis" is a common medical term, however, "PTSD arthritis" must be something new.

Has anybody been rated for Post Tramatic Tress Disorder Arthriutis what was the rating ?

My LA Primarty care provider VA doctor put into my medical records this PTSD Arthritis.

He said its was a new medical claim people can be awarded as part of your claim but

separte from PTSD, totally separate. IM wondering if anybody out there hear of it and

or knows about it?

Thanks for your imput !

Thank you for your kindness !

Yes, you will get a C&P exam for TDIU. Usually, they schedule it once they see that your file has no C&P exam in it and then schedule one for you! Well, this happened in my recent claim.

Good Luck!

[Iu C & P]

When does the VA request a C&P from me.

Just before theyu ready to rate me or what part

of the process do they want to have me take a C&P.

THank you

[Ui Requirements Requested]

Yes I have PTSD and Degenerative Disc Disease an was awarded total

disability and was not given SSI but instead of SS Full Disability.

Yes I have a exisiting claim, yes IM in a PTSD regular weekly class,

and I PTSD medics class offered by the VA POST 2 different PTSD doctor

in LA. from the VA also IM on meds by Psycharist also. I also have be

diagnoais for Bi Polar Disorder which falls under the PTSD as a 2nd dairy

with PTSD as the primary condition.

I have a private and VA Doctors both giving me 39 GAF scores also and

all this is being input into my medical VA records and also is the primary

care doctor in putting my DDD and IU as part of my claim trying to establish

it as a service connected disability from my medical records an patrol

missions in Vietnam.

Thanks for your input

Do you have Social Security Disability. You should be able to get VA to look at your claim. I suggest that you visit a Service Officer and ask them to help you with forms and a game plan.

Are you being treated for PTSD?

[Ui Requirements Requested]

It awarded me for Dengerative Disc Disease and PTSD, Im 60 Years old.

Yes beleive in can show with VA doctor that he can show at nexus of the

DDD and PTSD. Combat service USMC Recon Aid Man Medic for USMC Recon

team. I waiting for the letter from SSA for my proof od disability.

I m age 60 and was awarded 1533 per mouth if I became disabled before 62.

Now I have to see if I can get the VA to accept the IU are part of my claim

for the other things i filed for.

Thank you for the reply

:D

If Social Security awarded you for PTSD and you can show a link to your service it should be a slam dunk. That is my opinion with the facts as you have provided. How old you are, combat service,and how you acquired PTSD are important.

There are a lot of Veterans who have PTSD and in my opinion can be one of the hardest to get VA to recognize.

[Ui Requirements Requested]

Hello MY Question

I was approved for SSI on first try I have been given the state

of my condition as disabilied by the SSA. Now I'm 60 and

Dengeneratived Disc Disease which I won as part of the SSA claim

NOw SSA awarded me disability for $1533 per mouth now as a

disabled person and cant work.

I want to add this SSA paperwrok to me VA claim just started not

long ago. Now i want to bring in to the case the SSA awared claim to me.

My questions is this

Will this help my total case for my benefits for all my claim to the

VA and does the SSA claim help me get UI from the VA also

DO both help each other as far as the VA concerned now that

it help my case that SSA knows i cant no longer work in the future.

I applied to SSI but SSA told me I was given it to be now disabled

and not on SSI but SS, when I become Age 62 than it will change from

disability to my SS pension.

Thank all who give any advise to my total out come to all the case.

I have much to provide my VA case the same as did I with SSA to

win this case. I know both SSA and the VA have different standards

about my claims. But will my SSA claim get my a better chance

of winning my case for UI and yes the DDD im sure i can prove was

service connected. YES I have a CAR and other medals and stressors also
