0 Greeter Dot09 Posted October 13, 2023 Greeter Share Posted October 13, 2023 Yeah the Va stopped using gaf to score people’s rating. Not exactly sure why but it is no longer a standard of care used. Cue how’s your claim going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Founder Tbird Posted October 13, 2023 Founder Share Posted October 13, 2023 The GAF score was discontinued in the Diagnostics and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V and that is why the VA no longer uses it.

0 Dustoff1970 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) For a long time there has been conflicting opinions on the value of GAF scores in MH DSM I thru V manual among the experts in private and government/VA psychiatric profession. Since 1998 I have been continuous rated at 70% Nam PTSD and before that 30 and 50%. Been P&T since 2000. From 1985 thru 91 and into 2000 the GAF score was considered by VA shrinks, examiners and VARO raters to be of extreme importance in determining the level of disability MH ratings. My GAF always fluctuated a great deal with each shrink visit and C&P exam. In 1998 my GAF was not considered severe but my other VA/private medical treatment notes, diagnosis for long period of time was considered serious and therefore the 70% P&T TDIU rating in 2000. Then it was very difficult to overcome a low GAF score and now days it is just one of many factors the shrinks, examiners and raters look at. Very little importance now as it has always been only a brief snapshot in time of the patient,s MH functioning. My comment is not legal advice as I am not a lawyer, paralegal or VSO.
