Gaf Rating Question?

[allan]

Would anyone know what the rating for GAF score of 52 might be?

Thanks in advance.

It's kinda "borderline" between 30% and 50%, of course that's assuming there are NO other ratable problems thrown in, such as MDD or say, suicidal ideations, or bi-polar tendencys, etc. Throwin' in, for example, suicidal ideation with a 52 GAF will getcha 70%, almost certain.

Repeat after me:

"It's a crap-shoot."

Thanks Larry.

Additional mental health issues they diagnosed and treat me for are bipolar, cognitive problems, PTSD, depression, sleep disorder and anxiety/panic attacks with anger outbreaks.

Some days are better than others. Most days i'm all messed up.

The GAF is just one thing the VA MAY or MAY NOT look at when rating mental disorders. One person with a GAF of 50 might get 50% and another 70%. Depends on the rater and medical evidence as a whole.

Remember what the guy said with the funny hat:

"ITs a crap shoot".

You will be rolling the dice and see what it comes up. TWO keys:

YOu regional Office and your rater.

Some of these are nicer than others, and your results will be reflected in who rates your claim and at which RO. Sadly, there is no standard. I think there should be a direct relationship with your VA docs GAF rating and your Regional office disability rating. There should be a chart somewhere, something like:

GAF 50 = 50% disability rating.

GAF 45-49 = 70% disability rating, etc.

There is not, so everything is applied willie nillie, so Vets in some states make out much better than Vets in other states.

Thanks everyone.

That gives me a better idea of how I stand. A crap shoot!
