Unlock higher VA ratings for adjustment disorder and ensure you receive the benefits you deserve. In this video, Jay from CivDiv dives deep into chronic adjustment disorder, a mental health condition common among veterans. Jay explains how this disorder stems from difficulty coping with stressors like major life changes, traumatic events, and the transition to civilian life after military service.
Adjustment disorder is classified as a mental illness by the DSM-5 and can significantly impact daily functioning. Symptoms include insomnia, sweating, withdrawal, and changes in eating habits. For veterans, this condition is particularly prevalent due to the intense and often traumatic experiences faced during service.
Jay details the VA’s general mental health rating system, ranging from 10% to 100%, and discusses how these ratings impact your VA disability claims. He also explores secondary conditions like major depressive disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse, emphasizing the importance of understanding how these are rated and interconnected.
