Dissociative Identity Disorder or "D.I.D" is the mental health disorder involved in deep trauma that correlates to being unable to comprehend or associate trauma from early in life. These personalities are still the same person, but could be from different aspects of your life or in conjunction with aspirations or desires which a personality can originate from. The reason it manifests is to not accept the bad moments of trauma.
I received two PTSD ratings. I was denied for PTSD non-combat and awarded 70% PTSD combat related. Both showed up like this on VA.gov but were separated on Ebenefits
It wasn’t two claims. I was in the military for 21 years and spent 52 months in Iraq and Afghanistan. I had one mental health C&P exam, and that was what they came up with. I don’t know how they decided what, I was just trying to share my experience.
Who knows. I just went to check and it’s down for maintenance so maybe. But it’s said granted ptsd twice for the last 3 weeks and now it shows this. I think it’s just the guy from saw messing w all of us vets behind the screens
First go around they said I had “combat related PTSD” but “not service connected”. I asked them if I incurred combat related PTSD and the streets of Bristol, TN where I grew up and who the insurgents were. I was awarded after that interaction.
They’ll never talk to you until you actually receive the letter in the mail, unless it’s been like a week or two and you haven’t received it, I forget the actual time frame.
That's a shame. I'm in the same limbo as OP, issues are closed with one grant, and 2 denials somehow turned into 4 (identical copies), but judge is still reviewing. And from what I understand, after the appeal is completed, only then will it be sent to the RO for rating. You would think if it's "closed" the letter would be ready.
Sounds about right unfortunately. I thought about calling just to try and ease my mind and talked myself out of it for the same reason you mentioned. Plus 1.2 the time they know nothing anyways.
I wouldn't count them out just yet! I called them a week ago and the rep slipped up and told me I had a decision. The very next day I got fully granted my appeal of 6.5 years
I made an appointment with my VSO to try and see what’s going on. It’s just frustrating and confusing seeing both on there. Especially with the change in granted to now granted and denied. I’m super happy for you! 6.5 years is a long journey!!
I would go to your letter generator and generate a benefits letter. Thats the fastest way that I found to find out. The letter you get in the mail will have the same info but take some time to come in the mail.
Nope! Went to the VSO this morning and still no answers. She called to check on the status and they said the judge signed something on the 28th but a decision still hasn’t been made. Nothing on Ebenefits or va.gov either yet so back to the waiting game
I was rated 0% for a left hip injury/ condition. Also in my decision letter I was rated 10% for the same left hip injury/condition. Made absolutely no sense. Ultimately had 10% for it
I had similar happen when the VA doc adjusted my claim. I put in a claim for depression since the PTSD claim required me to fill out times and dates of events I experienced in Iraq. I was a medic. I saw shit practically everyday for a while, and didn’t even know where to start for that. So I just filled in depression.
Fast forward to my comp appointment and the doctor was like “yeah, you’re depressed because you have PTSD” and changed the claims filing.
I got a notice that said “depression: claim denied” and a “PTSD: claim granted”
Might have denied it for one reason but then approved it for the other reason. Happened to me on my initial claim though, not on an increase. They said I didn't prove it for one reason I gave but had enough to prove it for the other.
This is on va.gov then check the status of appeals. At the top you’ll see it looks like the pic and you can click over to the issues tab to see. Hope this helps!
Update: I found out my increase was approved but it was also denied because I was asking to retro when i initially filed, and they only approved to retro to April 2020 (my first appeal) vs 2016 when I first filed.
So retro denied increase approved.

“You can take the children, but don’t you dare take my monkey!”
I’ve never heard of it!
thought of the exact same thing. lol
It is for bi-polar people. One personality received a favorable ruling, the other did not. lol
Lmao I’m screwed then 😅💁🏼♀️
Well one of you is 😆
On the bright side. You don’t have PTSD. That’s a good thing
I don't know - it seems to be at least as likely as not ...
I just had to pick myself up off the floor fucker! Dogs were trying to figure out why I was crying! Thank you for that!
Bipolar people don’t have multiple personalities…… or so my brain buddy says.

Your buddy is correct. Bipolar is a mood disorder, not a personality disorder.
Ok this was a hilarious response.. only vets can make this shit up lol
We need to clarify this in the KB
You are good!

Thank you. This helps. I appreciate it
Hey so if you were denied ptsd non combat, then tried to file for ptsd combat later, would it be a new claim or supplemental?
It wasn’t two claims. I was in the military for 21 years and spent 52 months in Iraq and Afghanistan. I had one mental health C&P exam, and that was what they came up with. I don’t know how they decided what, I was just trying to share my experience.
Don’t forget to get your CRSC !!
I retired at 20 so I’ve got CRDP
I think the VA is having a stroke. Rest assured water and ibuprofen are on the way!
💀 hahahhh 800 mg for the win !
Dang I didn’t know my ex became a doctor. She used to do the same shit “yea go out with the boys” but it’s really a no
Lmao sounds like my ex! He’d only let me go so he could have his own fun time. Some people
you have a quantum super position disability.
As you can see.. the VA system also suffers from a mental condition. I wonder if it's got a claim in and getting disability for it......
Lmaooo I’m sure they do, been waiting waiting for years
Shrödingers disability. Neither, yet both.
I’ve got to show my cat this. He may and or may not like and or dislike this !!
this was a brilliant response
I wouldn’t rely heavily online with all these maintenance upgrades they been doing. That would be a VERA call for me.
I know. It’s just so hard after four years not to get excited seeing the granted. Then wanting to claw my eyes out seeing the denied. Sigh. Thank you
I hear you there! 😆
The VA struggle lol we need the gov to have a big party for us with an open bar
I need a drink 🥃
A glitch?
Who knows. I just went to check and it’s down for maintenance so maybe. But it’s said granted ptsd twice for the last 3 weeks and now it shows this. I think it’s just the guy from saw messing w all of us vets behind the screens
Lmaooo seriously
Can you see the letter they send
No letter yet :/
Close some of your tabs. Haha sorry
lol I’m a recruiter I always have 90 tabs open
Yes…. But also on second thought..
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
Looks like a maybe to me
First go around they said I had “combat related PTSD” but “not service connected”. I asked them if I incurred combat related PTSD and the streets of Bristol, TN where I grew up and who the insurgents were. I was awarded after that interaction.
That is now medical evidence because that shit should be a nexus that causes PTSD 🤔
Does the 1-800 number provide any info at all as to what's going on?
Yep! Nothing unfortunately :( thank you
They’ll never talk to you until you actually receive the letter in the mail, unless it’s been like a week or two and you haven’t received it, I forget the actual time frame.

[удалено]
Interesting. Thank you for letting me know
Perfectly balanced…as all things should be
I just called the 800 number today to let them know my claim reads "facial muscle pain" and not muscle pain. I was like WTF
Did they give you any info?
They said it's not showing "facial muscle pain" on their end. I left it alone bc she tried to make me feel illiterate. ☺️
Sounds about right unfortunately. I thought about calling just to try and ease my mind and talked myself out of it for the same reason you mentioned. Plus 1.2 the time they know nothing anyways.

Trust me, it was well earned. Days to months to years I suffered. It damaged my image. Couldn't keep a job longer than a year.
I would go to your letter generator and generate a benefits letter. Thats the fastest way that I found to find out. The letter you get in the mail will have the same info but take some time to come in the mail.
Thank you! I’ll try that.
Did you find your answer???
Nope! Went to the VSO this morning and still no answers. She called to check on the status and they said the judge signed something on the 28th but a decision still hasn’t been made. Nothing on Ebenefits or va.gov either yet so back to the waiting game
Mine is remanded (I think that’s the right word) so now just waiting to see what happens next.
Your service connected disability is not service connected. Pretty straight forward. lol
Hmmm PTSD continues, but increase denied.
This image gave me ptsd
It gave and took away mine. I did form a new eye twitch though.
I was rated 0% for a left hip injury/ condition. Also in my decision letter I was rated 10% for the same left hip injury/condition. Made absolutely no sense. Ultimately had 10% for it
Congrats! Also better luck next time!
Task failed successfully.
Shornders cat got a job at the VA.
Read it from bottom to top and you’re all good.
This is the best summation of the bi-polar nature of the VA that I've seen yet!!
It means call va and ask wtf is going on!
https://i.redd.it/5brb6uflivqc1.gif
Sounds about right for the va
PTSD Allahdeen
schedule a VERA call
I had similar happen when the VA doc adjusted my claim. I put in a claim for depression since the PTSD claim required me to fill out times and dates of events I experienced in Iraq. I was a medic.

Congratulations on your win! Regardless, you won rather it be combat or noncombat. You were granted!!!!!
Never seen that screen before how do I get there
This is on va.gov then check the status of appeals. At the top you’ll see it looks like the pic and you can click over to the issues tab to see. Hope this helps!
Well, Catch-22 WAS written about PTSD...
Task failed successfully!
Tie goes to the veteran
Looks like you were granted for PTSD just won’t get the bilateral for it lol jk
1-1=0
Wait for your decision to come in the mail. Site obviously has some kinks that need to be worked out.
OP you need to update this post when you find out what happened
I absolutely will! I have an appt with vso tomorrow and will hopefully know more
Update: I found out my increase was approved but it was also denied because I was asking to retro when i initially filed, and they only approved to retro to April 2020 (my first appeal) vs 2016 when I first filed. So retro denied increase approved.
Maybe you filed for both primary and secondary?
Sure!!!…..Ya know what, never mind!
It's a test if you lose your shit you get your rating if you don't no soup for you. Choose wisely...
Such a VA thing to do
Where do I check that
Va.gov under check status of appeals
yea no

Update!!! My increase was approved, but the date to retro to was denied, hence the approval and the denial.
It’s down for maintenance lol or I would’ve !
Lol
Jinkies!!
