I just completed a mental health re-evaluation when i submitted secondary claims. Optum Serve was the vendor and I have to say it was extremely low stress. I retained my 70% rating.
CivDiv – You mentioned do not submit an insomnia claim when you have 70% for MH, what about sleep apnea?
at 50% trying to get to 70% MH. Also working on OSA (50%)
Hah! no big ticket ratings here. My highest is 30%, but i have a LOT of 10% ratings now and a few 20s. But I'm not typical….
Im at 70% mental , 50% tension HA…
Any updates on the MH changes that were supposed to take effect last month?
This is a amazing advice, thank you!
Is it common for VA to rate PTSD at 50% but only award 20%..
What if you're 70% but are considered P&T?
70 to 100 MH claims often backfire.
Its also worth pointing out, if you're familiar with the 100% criteria and qualify for it.
Its not impossible to get 100% for MH like alot of people say it is. However the VA will likely not give you favorable dbq for 100% Mental Health. Youll need to go and get a Private DBQ within your state or it can be discounted.
Also highlight the issue in your VA Dr appointments(these will be checked in notes while your claim is being processed)
Also Make sure you highlight the 100% criteria you have in a personal statement.
You do NOT need a nexus if you're already rated at a lower rating For Mental Health.
If you go 3rd party to help with a DBQ and they tell you that there must be a hospitalization to get 100% for Mental Health. They're wrong and just want to milk you for more Diagnosis, DBQs and Nexus letters for other conditions you have to exaggerate in order to 100%.
Clay I’m at 30% anxiety with depressive mood . My highest rating .
With a few small physical ratings my total is 60% .
The anxiety rating was submitted as , sleep disruption with anxiety disorder . So I’m assuming the insomnia / sleep disruption is included in the 30 %.
Thanks
Just got a letter that they are reducing my 70 to a 50. Supposedly because I’ve shown improvement. Need some assistance.
Hey Clay, how long does it take AME to do a ptsd nexus letter? I have a telehealth on 16th, rated at 50% MDD, but of course the examiner didn't listen or write down all my symptoms.
Great I wish I knew this two weeks ago before I filed for insomnia secondary.
I don’t want to get reduced so what should I do? I have an appointment in 2 weeks
I always assumed you had to be locked up somewhere in a straitjacket to get 100% Mental Health. That's just me tho……
Yep, they’re taking all our benefits away
But my wife says I'm 100%. Does that count?
I wanted to send this comment to thank you for the last video you did for Louie I was the one who complained about the first one you did and was very happy to see the second one. Job well done.
