Question
Berta
There has been some discussion about GAF scores lately-
Axis V on some psyche reports-
A GAF does not really indicate or determine the outcome of a claim-
I posted this for sbrewer but this is a good read and might help 1968 with his claim.
It shows that all medical evidence must be considered and that a GAF does not necessarily reflect a disability picture.

"Axis I - PTSD; chronic; Major depression,
recurrent, secondary to PTSD. Axis II - No diagnosis. Axis
III - S/P pituitary adenomectomy, May 1998; "Post polio
syndrome," DJD; GERD/HH; hyperlipidemia. Axis IV - 3-
moderate-anniversary of suicide of son-in-law's father. Axis
V - [GAF ] 65 in the last 12 months; 63 now."
and :"ORDER
Subject to the rules and regulations governing awards of
monetary benefits, a 100 percent rating for post-traumatic
stress disorder is hereby granted."
The BVA considered the entire disabling profile of the veteran. supported by medical evidence.
PS- this was not an extraschedular 100% but a direct 100% rating.

When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief
Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was
simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."
Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.
