[QUOTE="EmbarrassedEmu, post: 807, member: 63"] Hoping someone out there can help me understand this. I received a 70% rating for PTSD in 2021 and recently applied for higher ratings on a few disabilities. During this, I was assessed for "Alcohol Use Disorder or Alcohol Use, unspecified with unspecified alcohol-induced disorder," which is tied to my PTSD. If they approve this, does that increase my main PTSD rating, or does the secondary condition get its own separate rating? It's confusing, and I just want to know what to expect if this secondary claim related to my PTSD gets approved. [/QUOTE]
