I’m currently rated at 50% for ptsd and anxiety. This C&P exam is for a ratings increase, insomnia, drug abuse disorder, and IU
1. Diagnosis
a. Does the veteran now have or has he ever been diagnosed with a mental disorder?
[x]yes
icd code: f43.8
if the the veteran currently has one or more mental disorders that conform to dsm-5 criteria, provide all diagnoses:
#1 other specified trauma and stressor related disorder. Icd code f43.8
#2 cannabis use disorder, moderate icd code f12.12
2. differentiation of symptoms
a. Does the veteran have more than one mental disorder diagnosed?
[x]yes
b. Is it possible to differentiate what symptoms are attributable to each diagnosis?
[x]no
Which of the following best summarizes the veterans level of occupational and social impairment with regards to all mental diagnoses?
[x] occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity
b. For the indicated occupational and social impairment, is it possible to differentiate which impairment is caused by each mental disorder?
[x]no
3. symptoms
For VA rating purposes, check all symptoms that actively apply to the veteran’s diagnosis:
[x] anxiety
[x]panic attacks more than once a week
[x]chronic sleep impairment
[x]difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships
[x]Difficulty in adapting to stressful circumstances, including work or a work like setting
There is much more to the file I left out somethings that I didn’t think were as important in order to save time. If needed I can answer questions or enter whatever else is needed. I know the VA doesn’t think like we do and any opinions given are just that but would still be greatly appreciated . Thanks in advance for any and all reply’s
