0 jfrei Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Do you have a mental health issue right now with the 80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jfrei Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) If it's PTSD they'll just lump it together as they are all mental issues and can only have one rating... Edited June 3, 2017 by jfrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cnocmmz Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 No, my 80% is from knees., gerd, wrist, and shoulder issues. The depressive and anxiety disorders are the pain syndrome as secondary issues from the associated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cnocmmz Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 My apologies for the late delay. Was rated at 70% for Depression and Anxiety overall year ago, and now overall rating is at 90 percent (91 points). My doctor also had me do a sleep study and and with a prescription for a Cpap machine . My lawyer is tying this to the secondary issue during my service years and hoping to get the VA to issue a Cpap machine so hopefully I can get a least 0 percent? Ebenefits states that the VA is currently "reviewing all the evidence." I guess if I received 50 % it would take over the top for 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vetquest Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Congratulations, yes a 50% award would get you to 100%. Have you considered TDIU if you are not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted February 17, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 17, 2019 Never count on it until you get that little white Envelope in the mail. I say white I think they are white now instead of the Brown ones they use to send out. If you use a C-Pap That don't automatically give you 50% !!! you will need plenty of medical documentation from qualified Dr's stating the secondary is likely as not the reason you have sleep apnea from the medications you take (go into details) and also a Qualified Dr must state in his/her report that the C-pap IS MEDICALLY NECESSARY for you to use for your Health.
