Based on the time of onset of these symptoms (subsequent to a traumatic event experienced while in the military) and multiple logical connections SMITH, JAKE ALLEN CONFIDENTIAL of 34 to that traumatic event (distressing recollections of the event, distressing dreams with content or emotion related to the event, avoidance of reminders of the event, hypervigilance and strong startle reactions since the event, etc.), his Other Specified Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorder was at least as likely as not (50 percent or greater probability) incurred in or caused by the claimed in-service event. His presentation involves symptoms characteristic of a trauma- and stressor-related disorder that are causing him clinically significant distress and impairment in social and occupational functioning, but the symptoms do not meet full criteria for any of the disorders in the Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders diagnostic class. Mental Disorder Diagnosis #1: Other Specified Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorder, adjustment-like disorder with prolonged duration of more than six months without prolonged duration of stressor ICD code: F43.8 Comments, if any: The Veteran meets DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for F43.8 Other Specified Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorder, adjustment-like disorder with prolonged duration of more than six months without prolonged duration of stressor. Continue to complete this Questionnaire and/or the Eating Disorder Questionnaire: 2. Diagnostic Summary - Does the Veteran have a diagnosis of PTSD that conforms to DSM-5 criteria based on today's evaluation? Yes No If no diagnosis of PTSD, check all that apply: Veteran's symptoms do not meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD under DSM-5 criteria Veteran has another Mental Disorder diagnosis. It states that I do not have PTSD because I didnt meet all the criteria, but they have diagnosed me with Other Specified Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorder, adjustment-like disorder with prolonged duration of more than six months without prolonged duration of stressor? I will copy and paste my complete report below, but my main question is will my whole claim for PTSD be denied because technically i do not have a diagnoses for this or will they adjust based on the new diagnoses? Any information will help thanks in advance.
