Ok here we go. I think the Doc got it right. It says I have a GAF of 51
Dx Bipolar disorder, mixed type. AXIS 1, comments if any? it is at least as likely as not secondary to this gentleman's military service in the airforce. Previously, in the air force the veteran was dx with a chronic adjustment disorder and mixed personality disorder , and I do in fact, believe that the present bipolar disorder is a maturation of that condition originally diagnosed in the military.
dx 2: alcohol abuse in remission axis 1
dx 3:cocaine abuse in remission axis 1
Occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity
Differentiation of symptoms a. does the veteran have more than one mental disorder diagnosed?(yes)
Comments: he does have voth the bipolar disorder , which is of mixed type at this point, as will as substance abuse problems, which most likely ar secondary to his bipolar symtomatology.
Symptoms for va rating purposes, check all symptoms that apply to the vetern's dx.
checked are:
depressed mood at times
Anxiety
suspiciousness
chronic sleep impairment
mild memory loss
Impaired judgment
flattened affect
difficulty in establishing relationships
disturbances of motivation and mood
difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships
suicidal ideation
impaired impulse controlsuch as unprovoked irritability with periods of violence
persistent danger of hurting self or others
neglect of personal apperance and hygiene.
Competency: is the veteran capable of managing his or her financial affairs? checked (yes)
Prognosis: at the present time, would appear to be guarded.
Section 11: clinical findings:
1. evidence review if any records (evidence) were reviewed , please list here: the c-file was carefully reviewed. In fact , there were numerous referencs to the fact that the veteran has some physical health problems, particulary with his hearing, as well as, in fact, ther is a referince in the c-file to his having been consulted with a psychiatrist in the military , and was found to have a chronic adjustment disorder, as well as a mixed personaliy disorder. these were when he could not function on the flight line and requested that he be removed from that particular activity because of the stress. I do , in fact believe that these conditions diagnosed in the military have now matured into the bipolar disorder, which in fact, is present at this time.
There's more here and there med history ect... so please tell me what you think about what rating I can expect and the fight ahead and time line.all my c&p are done, the only other claim i had was for hearing (no findings, no hearing loss found ect.) and how do I claim hardship (homeless currently) .
Thanks for you time everyone and look foward to all coments.
