it took a lot of your time to read this and thank you very much

[Buck52]

It could be 100% but don't be surprised if they give a 70% rating

because this was not check

Total occupational and social impairment???

however this was check

X] ''Occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas,
such as work, school, family relations, judgment, thinking and/or mood''

and this was checked

[X] Intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living, including maintenance of minimal personal hygiene

These last two here should meet the 100% rating criteria .

I notice the examiner mention you have chronic sleep impairment...if you use a C-PAP ...you should also file a secondary to PTSD from your medications you take...you need  Qualified Doc to give his opinion that the medications you take is related to the OSA   unless you do have prior medical service records as evidence for this OSA?

Swag, is your stressor solid- or has it been conceded by VA under the 2010 regs "fear of and/or  close proximity to enemy fire)?

[Swag]

Did you see the headache ? Do you think I’ll get something out of headaches ? @Buck52

[Swag]

No , I don’t think so because I never saw combat . But I’ve been thru some scare situations that left me nightmares @Berta

[Buck52]

Swag  they should but not always do.

.if they don't  you may need to file a claim for the headaches   usually they include these but...just have to wait and see what they do.

About PTSD Stressors

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often the result of a traumatic event while serving in the military. The traumatic event is often called the “stressor.”

To be eligible for PTSD VA disability benefits, you want to show how the stressor has created a change in your life. For example, you used to be social and have friends, but now after the stressor event you are introverted and distant.

The VA considers the following to be PTSD stressors:

Exposure to death

Threatened death

Actual serious injury

Threatened serious injury

Actual sexual violence

Threatened sexual violence

And the combat stressor's Ms berta mention  if you have been in combat and was traumatize that would be a stressor. & the VA Concedes and having a CIB would do that   they usually put that on your DD 214.
