VA Mental Health Ratings: What You Need to Know
The VA uses a rating scale from 0% to 100% to evaluate the severity of your condition. Ratings are based on how much your mental health impacts your ability to function in work, social settings, and daily life.
Here’s a general breakdown of VA ratings for mental health:
- 0% – Diagnosed but symptoms don’t interfere with functioning
- 10%-30% – Mild to moderate symptoms with occasional workplace or social impact
- 50% – Reduced reliability and productivity; noticeable struggles with relationships or decision-making
- 70% – Occupational and social impairment in most areas of life
- 100% – Total impairment; unable to work or maintain relationships
Survivor Sources Inc. ensures your application reflects the full scope of your symptoms — not just what’s visible on the surface.
How Anxiety & Depression Qualify for VA Disability Benefits
Mental health struggles are common among veterans and may be directly tied to the emotional toll of military service. You may qualify for VA disability compensation if your anxiety or depression:
- Was caused or worsened by your service
- Results from a traumatic event, combat, or long-term stress
- Affects your ability to work or function day-to-day
- Is documented by a licensed mental health professional
You don’t need to have served in combat to qualify — military sexual trauma (MST), prolonged stress, or toxic environments can all lead to lasting mental health effects.
What If I Haven’t Sought Treatment Yet?
You can still qualify for VA benefits even if you haven't been actively treated for anxiety or depression. Many veterans avoid seeking mental health care due to stigma, fear, or lack of access. Survivor Sources Inc. helps connect you to mental health professionals who can evaluate and document your condition for your claim — with compassion and confidentiality.
How Survivor Sources Inc. Supports Veterans with Mental Health Claims
We understand how deeply personal — and at times overwhelming — mental health claims can feel. Our team offers sensitive, structured support every step of the way, including:
- Preparing and submitting mental health VA disability claims
- Assisting with denied claims and appeals
- Coordinating with psychologists or psychiatrists for evaluations
- Explaining rating criteria and helping you pursue the maximum rating
- Supporting secondary service connection claims (e.g., depression linked to chronic pain)
Our leadership team includes professionals from psychiatry, social work, and veteran services, and we’re here to listen, believe you, and advocate for your healing.
How Do I Know If My Anxiety or Depression Is Service-Connected?
Common service-related triggers for anxiety and depression include:
- Combat exposure or trauma
- Witnessing death or injury
- Military sexual trauma (MST)
- High-stress environments
- Chronic physical pain from service-related injuries
- Transitioning to civilian life without support
If your symptoms started or worsened during or after service, even if years later, you may qualify for compensation and treatment through the VA.
