Today 10/25/18 I was diagnosed with ''Severe Depression''
I was diagnosed with Chronic PTSD...June 10th 2015...today I was at the VAMC and my L.C.S.W. SW 4 Mention to me I Had Severe Depression....I'm already S.C. for PTSD AT 70%
WE CAN'T HAVE TWO MH Ratings correct?
I said nothing about a claim or indicate I was filing a Claim.
I have not been sent a C&P for Re Evaluation not sure if I will?
but having a Severe Depression Disorder Don't set to well with me...Do you think they will take my PTSD SC Away and reduce me to Depressions? not sure what the rating would be for severe Depressions but I think its the same criteria as PTSD O% 10& 30% 50% 70% AND 100%
I Have 70% S,C.PTSD At Present.
Anybody know what they will do? I have not read my VA Notes yet won't be Available until Monday the 29th
