0 Mark D Worthen PsyD Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 1 hour ago, Navy04 said: Even though alot of the symptoms are checked off, alot of weight is used in the Occupational and Social Impairment statement. Really just hard to say until you get the official outcome That might have been true in the past, but since the advent of the DBQs, the Raters focus on the items checked off on the 'Symptoms' list (Section II, Number 5 of the Initial PTSD DBQ). The reason for this focus is that those symptoms come directly, verbatim, from the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders. I cannot remember the last time I saw a rating consistent with the summary statement of social and occupational impairment (Section I, Number 4a) when the symptoms endorsed corresponded with a significantly higher rating. Plus, Raters now use an automated Evaluation Builder, which uses the items in the Symptoms List to determine the rating. I attached a copy of the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders.

0 Navy04 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 My last 2 PTSD Exams, one for an increase, one for a Review, had dang near all boxes checked, and VA Dr along with Exam Drs listed my PTSD/OCD as Chronic, yet both kept were at the 70% Rate. I just had another Review/Increase/A&A PTSD exams last week, but I can not see those reports as they were thru the VES. Everything thru the VA has Guidelines for this, CFR for that, but really it just goes however the RO and Raters work the claim. We will see, and hopefully the best, and highest rating for this Vet. Hope you all have a Happy Father's Day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Navy4life Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I had a C&P exam for my PTSD/MST for an increase back in February and I was currently at 30% at that time. After reading the C&P and going to the "Occupational and Social Impairment" I was sure I was going to be reduced. But I was awarded 50%!!! The occupational and social impairment has some weight with the rater but the overall exam is what they are looking at plus any medical records prior to the C&P exam. Your exam indicates that you will be awarded PTSD with MST. More importantly, are you in treatment? I ask, because I too was assaulted and I suffer with an ED and BDD. I am in therapy weekly!
