Hi all, I'm new here. I was just wondering if raters usually pay more attention to the "description" or the "symptoms"
It seems as my description of
"
Occupational and social impairment with occasional
decrease in work
efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to
perform
occupational tasks, although generally functioning
satisfactorily,
with normal routine behavior, self-care and conversation"
does not fully match up the symptoms she wrote down as:
"
[X] Depressed mood
[X] Anxiety
[X] Chronic sleep impairment
[X] Mild memory loss, such as forgetting names, directions or
recent
events
[X] Difficulty in understanding complex commands
[X] Disturbances of motivation and mood
[X] Difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work
and social
relationships
[X] Difficulty in adapting to stressful circumstances,
including work or a
worklike setting
[X] Inability to establish and maintain effective
relationships
[X] Neglect of personal appearance and hygiene"
I feel because it is my first time applying for compensation, I'm going to get "low balled" My symptoms seem to be all over the rating chart from 30%-70% I'm just hoping for them to meet in the middle at 50. If you would like more info of my c&p just let me know, I just didn't think everyone would want to read all that. She also put SC'd in my favor.

We need more info about your C&P Exam to give you a fair opinion. '' does not fully match up the symptoms she wrote down as:'' Normally I would say its a hang up between 50 &70% T
