Question
Carl the Engineer
I was treated for OCD through the local VA clinic by seeing a therapist for approximately 3 months, maybe longer, in 2011. After treatment (therapy) I put in a claim for OCD, and was denied, which I suspected and accepted. The VA's rationale was that my OCD was caused by my military service, but, it helped my do my job more efficiently. But that's a different story.
Now I am researching my records for a new claim going forward for a different issue and came upon this;
------PTSD Checklist C------
SCALE RAW
Total 30
DSM-IV PTSD Criteria B is NOT met
DSM-IV PTSD Criteria C is NOT met
DSM-IV PTSD Criteria D is met
So, after finding that (not sure why I didn't see that before, but then all our records are many) I looked up rating criteria for PTSD, and found that I probably fit the 10% rating quite well, and maybe 30% with a good examiner.
Additionally, I know that for PTSD, the doc has to be VA, and in this case the therapist is VA. I have never been to a civilian doc regards PTSD.
I am thinking of adding PTSD to my new round of claims with the above VA evidence.
What ya think?,

I know my original claim was for OCD, but they did the PTSD test and it showed D being met, shouldn't they have inferred PTSD? I know the answer, but.
cause I can

I have no mental health ratings, and I do not have a stressor, etc., for PTSD,, and feel I don't have PTSD. When I read the criteria for PTSD @ 10%, I met that with the exam for the OCD that was

I am confused, so what if it helped you do your job more efficiently. If it was caused by the military and it is causing you unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations then it is a disability that should

The VA said OCD provided an occupational benefit. But MH ratings are supposed to factor in both occupational and social impact. Think of it like this: You are at work late because you are focuse
