    100% for PTSD as a result of MST. Basically if you been raped in the military you get more money than if you been in combat for 3 or 4 tours.

  • I was 100% disabled for PTSD but decided to work instead of getting VA disability (my parents raised me with good work ethics) and even though now that I am working my PTSD is a billion times worse at least I feel productive when I am at work. They eventually cut me down to 70% for PTSD which I am using to donate to veterans organizations that help females that was raped in the military and have PTSD.

    if you have the right people representing you then you are going to get at least 70%. There are tons of "fake organizations" out there that claim that they can help you with your claim. DO NOT GO TO THEM. I went through the DAV and they are awesome. The VA helped me a lot too. I praticually lived at the VA prior to working cause thats how crazy i am.

    My coworker is an OIF vet like me he did 3 tours and is only receiving 10% for is PTSD and 20% for his other injuries. But it works on a case to case basis.

    Wow who is the ignorant **** that gave us all thumbs down. What the **** buddy. Apparently you have no clue what it means to be a member of the service and the sacrifices we have made. Your a D-bag

    The highest I've heard of was like 10%, that's not enough to get full disability pay. You need 30%, but you may get a severence package for a limited time for 10%.

    Honestly while you should push to get VA benifits to cover therapy costs, you shouldn't expect much paywise. PTSD if treated properly can be dealt with and you can live a mostly normal life.

    American hasn't a clue.

    those of us in the "real world" know how devastating PTSD can be.

    I would like to sincerely thank you for your military service.

    You are a hero to me.

    By the way, the highest rating that can be given for PTSD is 100%.

    Well, I have heard of people getting upwards to 70% for PTSD. In fact, my buddy was just awarde 70% for his PTSD.

    The thing is, everyone is trying to get a good rating for thier service connected disability, and thats fine, I'm trying to right now. Its just that lots of people seem to think that if they just keep reopening or appealing then they will eventually get the rating they want, the answer to that is NO.

    I'm gonna give you the secrect answer or way to get the compensation you want from the VA, but you have to do exactly as I say okay. What you need to do, is go to the ER as much as you can for PTSD, I mean go in there, act scared, dazed, confused, and threaten to kill someone or yourself and all they will do is admit you to the Psych Ward. It also helps if you act like "YOUR ACTUALLY IN A COMBAT ZONE", meaning; look for your weapon even though you dont even have one, ask where your uniform is, etc etc.

    If you want the rest of how to get compensated for what you want, you can email me at roanokehookup at yyaahhoooo dot com, and I will help you. A friend and I researched the policys and guidelines for PTSD for almost 4 months straight, reading books, newspapers, stories, talking to vets, claims reps, DAV the whole nine. So hit me up if you want me to tell you the rest. I dont want someone else to get all upset when I tell you what you need to do bro.

    Hope to hear from ya, Lt. Mazziotti
