ptsd PTSD INCREASE

[ej5277]

Good Afternoon,

I am rated at 70% percent on my PTSD. I am still having issues on a daily basis but nervous about getting a increase that they may go in and mess with my rating already. Another reason that I am nervous is because I finally am working for the government and don't want to mess this job up. Can anyone provide me with some advice on this?

Hello EJ,

How long have you been at 70%?  Are you getting therapy on recurring basis?  I attached a form and it is a DBQ for a review of PTSD.  If you have a doctor fills this out, it will kind of give you and indication if an increase is possible.  But most importantly ensure he or she does not send it in before consulting with you first to review.  After 70% for PTSD, the next rating is 100% and it requires "Total Social And Occupational Impairment".
