The VA diagnosed me with a Anxiety Disorder and treated me for it as well as referred to me to my primary care doctor for a secondary issue involving headaches and migraines I have a sleep study August 21 this will be the first time after all of this is done for me to file any compensation claims I’ve done a lot of research but is anyone on here rated for anxiety issues?

SPC Private RallyPoint Member I am not rated for anxiety, but the sleep study will undoubtedly turn up sleep apnea. That can be anywhere from 30-60%. Do you have a VSO assisting you with a claim?

Keeping pushing. It will all get sorted you just need to keep applying pressure.

I don’t have a sole anxiety rating but a anxiety is part of my PTSD rating. Don’t stress about connecting the dots after the fact. I have been out 8 years and just recently had a couple ratings added afterwards related to hearing. Don’t stress and keep your head up

If they have diagnosed you with a anxiety disorder I would go ahead and file for that for compensation. It's when veterans file for things and are not diagnosed with what they are filing for that is a waste of time. Go do more sessions with a va therapist then file . A more guarantee that you will be rated at a higher rate. I am 70% combat acquired ptsd with a total of 80% tdiu permanent and total. Good luck brother.
