I have a question, please excuse my ignorance as I am not fully versed on the 100% rating for PTSD. I understand what P&T and TDIU is and all that. My question is I am currently 50% for PTSD. I am rated at 80% for all disabilities.
I have had for the past several years an increase in suicidal and homicidal ideation I was baker acted but then released once I got to the local hospital not the VA hospital.
All of my Dr's and my C&P examiner suggest that I enter inpatient treatment. I am currently employed. If I get an increase to 100% for PTSD what Will I have to do as far as my job is concerned as I work for the federal government? I know I can't work but just didn't know if there was a timeframe of how long I had to quit by. Is it even possible to get rated at 100% PTSD while actively employed ?
If I can't work I will make less than what the 100% pays at and won't be able to support my family pay my mortgage etc. I have extreme difficulties making it through my day at work and at home but I still have a family to support along with a special needs child and my wife is a full time student and is not working to take care of my son. I do not have a college degree.
I know I can file for SSDI and Federal retirement etc but that will take who knows how long.
If possible can someone provide some insight please. Your help would be appreciated, Thank you

It's not easy for us to fit in with just the normal people in society. I can only imagine having to be around the upper echelon of society. People just don't understand, only those who feel it know it
