The VA provides the Veterans Health Administration – VHA for Healthcare and Veterans Benefits Administration – VBA for Disability Compensation.  They are separate organizations. The healthcare side will give medical care for your disability but has nothing to do with your disability claims. Health Records are shared between them. Here is some Helpful Information about how this system works.

VSARD (Veteran Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities) is 38 CFR Book C, Schedule for Rating Disabilities.   It is the guide for evaluating the severity of disabilities resulting from all types of diseases and injuries encountered as a result of or incident that took place while in military service. The degree of severity is expressed as a percentage rating determining the monthly compensation amount.  Look up every conceivable disease or injury that took place during your military service. 

Examples:

You cannot file a claim for MST. You will file a claim for what MST caused mentally and physically. PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is the most common mental health condition filed for. Do not let anyone say your PTSD was caused during your childhood or before or after your service. 

Have you heard about Contreltophobia also called  Agraphobia;  it is the fear or phobia of being sexually abused, assaulted, or raped. This fear goes beyond the “normal” fear of this happening since it is logical to be afraid of being raped or abused. It creates AGORAPHOBIA which is covered by  VSARD CFR 4.130 9412 Anxiety Disorders

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects millions worldwide, causing abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. According to research, people who have been through trauma are also more likely to develop irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, which causes you to have pain in your belly, as well as other symptoms. While there is no cure for IBS, treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. For veterans with IBS, disability benefits may be available through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).  VA Ratings for irritable bowel syndrome under 38 CFR § 4.114, diagnostic code 7319 for Irritable Colon Syndrome. VA disability ratings for IBS range from 0 to 10 to 30 percent, depending on the severity of symptoms. 

VA Mental Health diagnoses PTSD using  DSM-5 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

VA Disability Compensation rates PTSD by using the General Rating Formula for Mental Disorders that shows what percentage of the compensation you are entitled to.

I know nothing about how DSM-5 is combined with the General Rating Formula for PTSD compensation.

TBI Traumatic Brain Injury. PTSD is frequently a secondary service connected to TBI, with both conditions resulting from the same event, and sharing many of the same symptoms.  How severely were you beaten into submission when you were raped?

A Veterans Service Organization acts on your behalf in the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims for VA benefits (38 U.S.C. 5902, 5903, and 5904). The VA is a bureaucracy full of paperwork and steps we must take. Contact these professionals on how to deal with the VA.  Search for a VSO in your area to start filing your disability claims. They know about what  Types of VA Disability Claims there are and when to file them. Every time you receive a letter from the VA about your claims go to your VSO. Never ignore anything from the VA.

Contact a VSO to file claims:

It is extremely important that you have advised your Primary Care Physician that you are suffering from everything you have filed a claim for.  You do not have to tell this physician about your MST.  That is between you and the VA MST COORDINATOR.
