0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted September 21, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 21, 2016 To the OP if you have a 100%PTSD Rating No your not suppose to be working if you do the VA checks with SSD and finds your working you will be reduced and maybe all the way back to 0% Now if you have a Schedule 100% rating you can work and allowed so much workable income...but if your rated P&T then your treading on shallow waters its like playing with fire so be careful. jmo ............Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 kent101 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) On 9/21/2016 at 1:54 AM, Gastone said: The C & P Psychiatrist/Psychologist PhD, only completes your FORENSIC EXAM DBQ and determines if you actually have a PTSD DX per the DSM V criteria. This is a FORENSIC Exam, any attempt to deceive would not look good. Over reporting of PTSD symptoms, as well as under-reporting, would hurt your claim. As to the end SC %, that all up to the VA Rater. If your still working full time, for the most part, IU is currently off the table. You don't sound like your 100%, how fracked up are You? Have you reviewed the 38 CFR 4, for PTSD Ratings? How do you think you measure up? At the end of my 2010 PTSD C & P, I asked the VA Psychiatrist if I had PTSD, he answered yes. About a month later, I compared his completed DBQ with the 38 CFR. My Lay opinion was, 30% was a lock, maybe a 50%. 2 mos later, Award letter, indicating a 70% SC with an "Inferred IU Claim" pending. Shows what I know. Semper Fi My therapist diagnosed me with PTSD. Edited September 22, 2016 by kent101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the VA get the records from the Vet Center. It says on ebenefits "PTSD Confirmed, to USASCURR to confirm stressor". So I think they have confirmed my PTSD.

0 Moderator broncovet Posted September 21, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 21, 2016 Kent: YOu COULD be rated higher than you expect, but then again, you could win all 50 state lotteries at the same time, too. I dont think you have a thing to worry about getting too high of rating. I bet millions of Vets would like your problem..most of us have been low balled, or, "no" balled. For example, I fought Va through a denial for hearing loss. I won at the BVA...a "complete grant of benefit sought". VARO decided "complete" meant a zero percent rating. Trust me, I had no trouble with the VA "rating me too high". I have been low balled, and I have been "no" balled, as I explained. But the only "hiball" I have ever got, is when I went into a bar with an old miltiary buddy. He bought me a highball. Gastone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronc, don't use the "NoBalled," makes my Butt pucker. With your 0% Hearing SC, did you get the 10% for Tinnitus? Semper Fi

Kent, is this a hypothetical question, or are you working full time and think your 100% Disabled due to a SC PTSD DX? I can't say that I have ever viewed a post on Hadit, where a PTSD Vet with a
broncovet
No, sorry. If you look at the criteria for 100% for mental disorders, it says "total occupational impairment". Its not a stretch for "total occupational impairment" to mean you are not able to work.
