Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Question
NoliMeTangere 0
I'm not sure what information to give so I will just post what I think is most relevant.
The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning: Yes
Description of the onset of symptoms: Chronic
Frequency, severity and duration of PTSD symptoms found: See above re nightmares. Avoids reminders of the war, as they regularly bring back distressing recollections of it for him. He seems largely emotionally disconnected from nearly everyone.
Does the veteran meet the DSM-IV stressor criterion? Yes
Does the veteran meet the DSM-IV criteria for a diagnosis of PTSD? Yes
Axis I : PTSD, Depressive disorder NOS, Hx of alcohol abuse
Explanation: Vet's drinking has clearly been to a point of causing problems for him. His depression appears to at least partially be a consequence of his PTSD, but there may be additional factors leading to it as well. The depression is responsible for the difficulties he has with mood regulation.
Axis II : No dx
Axis III : See problem list
Axis IV : Few social connections
Axis V : GAF 55 current functioning
Is the total occupational and social impairment due to PTSD signs and symptoms? No
Do PTSD signs and symptoms result in deficiencies in the following areas (judgment, thinking, family relations, work, mood or school)? No
Is there reduced reliability and productivity due to PTSD symptoms? Yes
Examples: Re work, see above concerning difficulties feeling comfortable around others. Re school, family relations, see above. Judgment seems ok at this point. Thinking notable for difficulty with absorbing new material, especially of a technical nature. Mood dysphoric, but not seriously depressed at this point (has been in past, though).
I'm not sure what the last part is about because I know that I've never felt worst. I also don't understand why he would put that I have no deficiencies in my family relations, work and mood. Seems like that contradicts with the rest of the exam and everything we talked about. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
BH
