Question
stever
I am rated 50% for PTSD and also have a claim in for tinnitis which I filed for back in October of 2010. I have been waiting for this claim for tinnitis to be acted upon for awhile, I had a C&P done in January of 2011. I read the report and the medical opinion was favorable that my hearing loss and tinnitis was service connected but still haven't heard about my claim. I received ssd for my ptsd in May so I went and filed for IU back in June of 2011.
I'll try and make this as short as I can. The following is what what stated on my C&P report that I had in Dec 2011.They had me see the Audiologist, Physh and Medical
The review of this patient's clinical record and the personal medical history indicate that this patient is unable to continue performing activities consistent with his work experience and prior training in order to maintain a gainful employment. The patient is unemployable at least as likely as not secondary to mental changes secondary to exposure to traumatic events during the vietnam war.
I had an intern that did my C&P for PTSD which she confirmed my ptsd diagnosis
Axis I PTSD & MDD, Recurrent, Moderate
Axis II No Diagnosis
Axis III Refer to medical chart.
Axis IV Occupational problems, exposure to trauma, limited social support
Axis V GAF = 57
Her write up was pretty good I just think my gaf should have been around 50 where it has been all along.
My claim since they have read the report is moving along quickly. With all I have read about TDIU I don't have a clue as to how this is going to turn out..Can you give me some ideas? I recently read Carlie's piece on the extra scheduler case.I was hoping that they would bump up my PTSD to 70% is this possible?
I'm also on Meds and go to group counseling weekly with combat vietnam vets and see my DR. regularly.
