Question
oldman273
Here is something you guys might know something about. I have PTSD but it is not SC, However I am diagnosed with a GAF score of 55 with the VA Mental health Doc. He put down on my records that my current PTSD is not service connected but the fact that depression secondary to my SC back disability is affecting my non service connected PTSD. I have had a claim in for IU on account of the SC back disorder rated @10% and 1 other SC condition rated @60% along with 30% and a few 10% that adds up to 80%. With all of that said I have read where when a SC condition affects or agrivates a non SC condition the VA must evaluate all connected disabilities. I admit I am kind of worn out fighting the VA like all of you but I have been scheduled for Surgery on my back and I know that I will be rated for IU for the period of surgery and the time it takes me to heal. What I am wondering is there a claim here? I am just agrivated but you all know how that goes dealing with the same people. Have a good day..
