ptsd Two Different Incidents, Diagnosed With Ptsd For Both, Do I Get Awarded Separately?

[combatcamera]

I have been diagnosed with PTSD related to combat and for sexual trauma, are they awarded separately or lumped together?

A veteran can only have one disability rating per category, the PTSD and sexual trauma both fall under the mental health category. So you will only get one rating but VA can say that your sexual trauma makes your PTSD worst.
