any condition is rated under it's own specific rating criteria. It does not matter if it is a secondary condition, or a primary condition. You can check my mental health claim repository to see the different rating criteria for adjustment disorders (depression, et. al.). There is a link in my signature line for that thread. The ratings are staged, and go 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100%.

The GAF is used to evaluate your overall functioning on the day you are examined in accordance with your capacity to function in everyday life. rentalguy has provided the link for the ratings on mental disorders like chronic adjustment disoder,PTSD,depression,anxiety to name a few. Remeber, you can only be compensated for one mental disorder at a time, if there are multiple mental disorders present, the most severe, or highest s/c disablity will be the one paid for s/c.

Good luck

Scout

Thanks again.
