I question if diagnosed PTSD (9411) or PTSD (mst) are being properly acknowledged, treated and rated for VA disability.
Is there a specific rating formula for PTSD? PTSD with MST? or is PTSD simply 'covered up' or 'combined' within Mental Health Ratings? For instance I am diagnosed for Depression and PTSD with MST, so I think at minimum I should have two seperate codes. I don't - yet .
From what I've found there seems to be ONE General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders in CFR 38-4 and all codes are rated under code 9440 Chronic Adjustment Disorder. (*exception Bullimia)
Is there a different way that PTSD is or should be rated soley for itself? Should I have a four digit code showing PTSD - 9411? or is there another code for PTSD (mst)?
