Two Rules for the PTSD Rating Scale #1. When evaluating PTSD, the rating agency shall consider the frequency, severity, and duration of psychiatric symptoms, the length of remissions, and the veteran’s capacity for adjustment during periods of remission. The rating agency shall assign an evaluation based on all the evidence of record that bears on occupational and social impairment rather than solely on the examiner’s assessment of the level of disability now of the examination. #2. When evaluating the level of disability for PTSD, the rating agency will consider the extent of social impairment but shall not assign an evaluation solely based on social impairment. WHAT IS SSD? * Well, SSD or somatic symptom disorder is a relatively young mental health disorder. It was initially introduced in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (APA, DSM-5) in 2013. From the root word: soma, which means ‘body,’ somatic symptom disorder is a body symptom mental health disorder. It is characterized by Suffering from bodily distress over and beyond what would be expected from their documented organic disease; AND/OR Expression of high health anxiety The most common and easiest way to win an SSD claim is to file it as SECONDARY to your already service-connected physical disability, especially when that disability gives you a lot of pain. From its psychological definition itself, SSD is borne out of bodily distress over and beyond the documented physical disease.
