ptsd What To Do?

[usdart]

I am 100% for PTSD and 30% Sinusitus and 10% Hearing currently 100% T&P.

Wondering wheather or not I must quit my job? I called Human Resources and was told I do NOT have to. All the Employer needs to know is that I am 30% or more.

Do I risk being re-evaluated for PTSD if I continue to work?

My Employer has been very kind and allowed me to make my own schedule and work alone completely so it is easier to take it. But, I would really like to retire from the stress and politics of work after 50 years I am totally fed up with the whole working thing anyway.

How did you get 100% for ptsd when you have a job?

I was denied IU and 100% for playing video games......

[usdart]

Don't know, I told them everytime I was asked that I was working but, having problems and wanted to quit.

Was the 100% an extraschedular award?

[usdart]

No,I don't think so, it was seperatly mentioned from the Sinusitis and the Hearing loss and did not say extraschedular anywhere.

I don't feel like justifing my 100% to others it is very painful to think about all that again.

I think being substantially gainfully employed and receiving a single 100% evaluation

solely for PTSD,is an error on the vba's part.
