Nod

If you have a C&P and the dr. list your GAF as 53, but says overall disability-severe range and social adaptability-severly impaired and occupational adaptablity-considerably impaired.....so you are given 50%.

Before the C&P and since the C&P, at the mental health appointments the GAF was listed as 50, could you use this to file a NOD to try to get 70%?

Thanks,

It really depends on what the entire C&P exam states.

OOPS, I may have used the wrong term. I'm not really sure. If I did, what would you do to ask for the rating to be possibly increased from 50 to 70%?

If you GAF is consistently scored as 50 I think you have a shot at a higher rating. You might want to get another medical opinion from your own guy to back it up.
