PTSD & MDD

[Shaun1234]

I was given a rating of 50% MDD as a secondary to Lumbosacral strain. I was also notified by the Board of Veterans Appeals that my PTSD claim for service connection has been approved. Will I get a separate rating for PTSD?

Hello,

PTSD and MDD will be rated together under the mental health standard. So, no they will not be stand alone ratings, but a totality.
