vperl Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 vperl - can't be 80%, as PTSD is only rated 10%, 30%, 50%, 70% OR 100%. Also the "examiner" doesn't do the rating but you're correct otherwise. pr 888888888888888888888888 PLEASE UNDERSTAND i AM NOT PERFECT, i WAS THROWING OUT NUMBERS TO SHOW THAT gaf SOMETIMES MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO NOT ONLY THE PERSON THAT EXAMS THE vET AND ALSO thE RATING OFFICERS HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS WHAT A gaf OF ANY NUMBER MEANS,,,, gaf IS A GUIDELINE A 40 BY ONE IS A 50 gaf TO ANOTHER.... BUT i COULD BE WRONG... i AHVE SEEN A gaf 0F 50 GET A 70% AND A gaf OF 40 GET 50% DISABILITY.. AGAIN GOOD LUCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted March 27, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) vperl - please understand, this was not meant as a personal attack, on you, but just two minor corrections. I am not perfect either and appreciate when I am corrected, as I only wish for correct info to be posted. As for the 50 GAF producing a 70% rating, I'm fairly certain some can be found in researching BVA decisions. I know at one time, in my appeal, I was rated 70%, w/a GAF of 50, so it can be done. I'm sorry you haven't seen one. Again, this wasn't personal and I certainly appreciate your posts, as I'm sure many of us do!! pr 888888888888888888888888 PLEASE UNDERSTAND i AM NOT PERFECT, i WAS THROWING OUT NUMBERS TO SHOW THAT gaf SOMETIMES MEANS DIFFERENT THINGS TO NOT ONLY THE PERSON THAT EXAMS THE vET AND ALSO thE RATING OFFICERS HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS WHAT A gaf OF ANY NUMBER MEANS,,,, gaf IS A GUIDELINE A 40 BY ONE IS A 50 gaf TO ANOTHER.... BUT i COULD BE WRONG... i AHVE SEEN A gaf 0F 50 GET A 70% AND A gaf OF 40 GET 50% DISABILITY..

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted March 27, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 27, 2010 There is much more to a rating than GAF. In the 90's the VA did not even do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmo Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Gman. Great post concerning "ptsdhelp2000". **Contained within is excellent information written/compiled by "Patience H.C. Mason". I downloaded quite a lot of information on PTSD. I suffer some very painful ortho problems which I am s/c for. In addition, depression (and even more confusing--PTSD)not yet filed for. I believe VARO will only grant one (mental) condition as s/c. I don't know if others suffer this same problem: I just have not been able to admit the illness. My primary care at the VA Community based clinic has tried to refer me to mental health, I refused. Regardless, enough about me. ##Thanks again for the help, it, your post, has really helped me.

jhilly Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I am working at this time, for how much longer, I don't know. I was recently told by a supervisor that I am very argumentive because I would not talk to him when he wanted to talk. I didn't realize we were arguing. I told my psyc doctor that I am seeing at the VA about this incident. I have my C & P exam for this April 22nd, so I am hoping that it is favorable for me. Thx for responding to my post.
