[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A 100% VA disability rating for PTSD requires documentation of total occupational and social impairment. Symptoms must be severe, such as persistent delusions/hallucinations, danger to self/others, gross impairment in thought processes, or inability to perform basic daily hygiene. It indicates a complete inability to function in work or social settings.

Key Requirements for 100% PTSD Rating
To achieve a 100% rating, the veteran must demonstrate extreme impairment, usually including several of the following:

Total Occupational and Social Impairment: Inability to maintain work, relationships, or routine functions.

Persistent Danger: A constant risk of harming self or others.

Severe Cognitive/Communication Deficits: Gross impairment in thought processes, communication, or memory loss (e.g., forgetting own name, names of close relatives).

Grossly Inappropriate Behavior: Inability to act within societal norms.

Persistent Delusions or Hallucinations: Experiencing things that are not present.

Inability to Perform Daily Tasks: Regular inability to handle personal hygiene, cooking, or basic daily activities.[/quote]

[quote] Alternative to 100% Rating (TDIU)
If your PTSD is not rated at 100% but you are unable to work, you may qualify for Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU), which pays at the 100% rate. This requires showing that your service-connected condition makes it impossible for you to maintain gainful employment.[/quote]

How is a person with either of these ratings (Platner won’t release his DD214 or any other documentation to verify the exact parameters of his 100% VA disability rating) fit to serve in the US Senate and perform for his constituents???[/quote]

You can keep beating this drum but he's made himself very accessible and we can all hear him talk, think on the fly in interviews and long form conversations. He's better at it than most politicians. Not concerned about his mental faculties.[/quote]

If his mental faculties are fine, then he’s no longer disabled by PTSD and he’s cheating the American taxpayers by continuing to collect 100% disability benefits. Why can’t you grasp this?[/quote]

This is an obvious point. If anything, Platner should relinquish his 100% disability payment because as PP’s have noted you have to be REALLY messed up to get 100% disability. Either he’s fine and he defrauded the government or he isn’t fine at all and is really messed up. You can’t have it both ways.[/quote]
