Best Guess On Mh Rating.....

[StreetWalker]

My C&P exams have all shown up on MyHealtheVet and I has some questions about the MH exam. Here's what the doctor had to say. 3. Symptoms -----------For VA rating purposes, check all symptoms that apply to the Veteran's diagnoses: [X] Depressed mood [X] Chronic sleep impairment [X] Disturbances of motivation and mood [X] Suicidal ideation Behavioral observations: VEt appears as a bearded, morbidly obese, Caucasian male who walks with a cane. He was oriented to person, place, time, and the purpose of the evaluation. He admits to occasionally thinking about suicide without a specific plan. HE denies having homicidal or psychotic ideation. There was no evidence of hallucinations, delusions or of significant cognitive impairment. Vet complains of suffering from a chronically dysphoric and irritable mood, and he displayed a wide range of affect. Since I really am having a hard time focusing on things right now due to meds and fatigue from my radiation treatments could someone help me with this? Thanks.

Based on the Impairment level, I would say low 10% to high 50% if you get a good rater. Good luck, I have 6 C&Ps scheduled for 2/14/14 and I am so nervous, one is for PTSD review.
