How The VA Determines A 100% PTSD Rating
At Favorable Disability Advocates we assist veterans daily who are in need of increased compensation disability monthly benefits due to a worsening and deliberating military service connection impairments. However, many veterans are unaware how a service connection for PTSD requires a sufficient medical diagnosis between their current symptoms and military stressor, along with credible supporting evidence that their claimed in service stressor occurred while on active duty. Service connection basically means the facts shown by evidence establishes that a particular injury or disease resulting in disability was incurred coincident with the service in the Armed Forces or if preexisting such service was aggravated therein. Lay testimony of the veteran and material evidence alone may establish the occurrence of a claimed PTSD service stressor on the following:
- If the medical evidence established a PTSD diagnosis during service and the claims stressor is without a doubt related to that service
- When evidence establishes that the veteran engaged in combat with the enemy and the claimed stressor is related to that combat event
- The veteran was a prisoner of war and the claimed stressor is consistent with the circumstances, conditions, or hardships of their service
- When PTSD is based on in service personal assault, evidence from sources other than the veterans service records may corroborate the veterans account of the stressor incident
The Department of Veteran will assigned a 100% PTSD Rating when a veteran mental disorders are total occupational and social impairments, due to such symptoms as: gross impairments in thought processes or communication; persistent delusion or hallucinations; grossly inappropriate behavior; persistent danger of hurting self or others; intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living, disorientation to time or place; memory loss for names of close relative, own occupation or own name. Please be advised in order the VA to determine this rating they will need to all about the veteran’s past medical history, previous mental health hospitalization or outpatient care, complete medical history since they discharged from military service, current medical history over the past 12-24 months, frequency and the duration of your medical and psychiatric symptoms.
