thanks for all the input, 30 to 50 was what I was thinking for the PTSD. Does anyone know if you can draw PTSD 9411, and Cognitive organic disorder NOS 9327, or would that be staking, was told it would not be?

The cognitive is an increase with current gaf of 55 and impacting just about everything. Fortunately guys UI is not a need that this time, but I will keep all information on file for when that day comes, unless I hit PT the hard way,

But with my heart, which is service connected now, after a 3 year fight, its likely someday. thanks Bandido 60, Philip, pigdriver and Pete53

Cognitive organic disorder is different from PTSD so you could get two separate ratings I think. Do you have TBI? Your cognitive disorder seems more severe than the PTSD according to the VA exam with a GAF of 55 which is in the 50-70 percent range. How did the cognitive disorder come about in service?

exposers to something, chemical or ??? whatever the government is hiding from GW1, it seem to be a cluster, the official rating 9327 10% cognitive disorder, nos memory loss due to undiagnosed illness, 1995
