Moderator pacmanx1 Posted January 25, 2011 Moderator Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited January 25, 2011 by pacmanx1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
