Just to throw in I was recently granted 100% P&T and housebound. I like a few of the others did not file for housebound but was awarded it because of having other issues that added up to over 60%.

But I am pretty sure you can file for it because of a illness that keeps you inside.

I don't mean to hijack this thread so if it needs to be moved , moderators feel free. I'm trying to figure out this Agoraphobia thing. On my C&P exam

Dr states Axis I PTSD CHRONIC , SEVERE , MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER , RECURRENT SEVERE WITHOUT PSYCHOTIC FEATURES , PANIC DISORDER WITH AGORAPHOBIA, ALCOHOL ABUSE DISORDER.

Would this be the foundation for an SMC House bound claim.

Thanks for your help

Sgt

If you are 100% absolutely is the foundation. Agoraphobia is the magic word.

Therein lies the problem , i am 50 % at this time .Recent denial on NOD for initial rating of PTSD and never a mention of the Agoraphobia in the ratings or SOC.

Here is the deal. If you are rated at 50% and you have agoraphobia your rating is to low
