Question
youngmp3
So I have recently applied for disability and have a few questions about my SC list of disabilities. First off I was diagnosed with PTSD at the beginning of this year (2014) after suffering and fighting this condition for the past 4 years. I never sought treatment because to be honest, I was scared of the results i would hear. Here is a list of the disabilities I am trying to claim. this is exactly how it was written on my VA FORM 21-526EZ.
1. Adjustment Disorder with depressed mood
2. TBI w/ memory loss
3. PTSD
4. Sleep disorder (insomnia)
5. Right knee condition s/p acute meniscal tear
6. restless leg syndrome
7. residual scars on hands, shoulders, and chest
8. tinnitus
9. ringing of the ears
Okay now my question is, which rating will i get the Adjustment disorder with depressed mood or PTSD? During my counseling meetings with my social worker she never said anything about adjustment disorder. The only thing she told me was that I was diagnosed with PTSD. All of the research I have done shows that the VA is now rating people with the Adjustment Disorder in order to cut down on spending. I was wondering what the chances are that the VA will see this and recognize that they think I should be rated under that and not the PTSD.
Please help me with this so I can get everything sorted out quickly. I can answer any questions if needed. Feel free to ask. Thank you

Hey Young, I think that is just going to be up to the shrink. I believe it would be hard to say by anyone what they will rate you with. If you have paperwork that says PTSD, there might be a bette
