Hi Veterans, in this post, we will be exploring the VA PTSD Rating Criteria in detail.
VA ratings for PTSD depend on the frequency, severity, and duration of a veteran’s mental health symptoms over time.
The more severe the veteran’s PTSD symptoms (and the more negative impact those symptoms have on his/her occupational and social impairment), the more likely it is for a veteran to get a higher VA disability rating for PTSD.
In 2020, the average VA rating for PTSD is currently 70 percent, but veterans can be rated from 0 percent to 100 percent with breaks at 10 percent, 30 percent, 50 percent, and 70 percent.
But first, let’s take a minute to explore 38 CFR for PTSD regarding the level of occupational and social impairment for each VA PTSD rating criteria.
