Gridsmasher11 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 From my understanding you can only be awarded for 1 mental health issue. But they can be combined.I am awarded 70% for PTSD with Major Depressive Disorder...Plus PTSD and Depression normally go hand in hand together..........Grid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcoleman5 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thank you all for your replies. I am rated 50% for depression, so hopefully my PTSD will push it to 70% which will give me a 100% combine rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thank you all for your replies. I am rated 50% for depression, so hopefully my PTSD will push it to 70% which will give me a 100% combine rating I'm not positive on this but if you are currently being compensated at 90% now and you evaluation for mental health gets increased from 50% to 70%, it still might not raise you to what's needed to be compensated at the 100% level. You's need to post each separate disability and evaluation percentage for each separately to determine if in fact it would or would not. Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted November 12, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 12, 2012 A 50% and 70% rating does not equal 100% using VA math. I have 70%,60% and five 10% ratings and I have 90% TDIU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
