Greetings I have been diagnosed from the VA with P.T.S.D. and depression I am 74 yrs old and have been seeing a mental health person for over a year and a half. Will I be able to submit a claim with social security for my condition?
You could always talk with a Social Security office; I'm more of an expert on the psychological side of things. I think when you get into your retirement years there may be fewer options for you in relation to Social Security disability but there still could be some depending on when you were diagnosed/years in the past and other programs- it is definitely a question for the Social Security office who can look up your specific info.
I paid you $600.00 for a Lexus letter on August 2nd 2024. I still have not received any letter. I have called your office over 8 times in the last two weeks. Sir what is going on?
quite a while ago SSA proposed updates to their mental listings prior to the DSM-5 being finalized, then held off on their proposals and ended up not finalizing their rules until after the DSM-5 was published essentially. We'll see what happens with the VA's proposals- they were informed by DM-5 but admittedly the DSM-5 itself/alone is pretty terrible when it comes to actually assessing impairment in relation to disability claims

Do the VA and SSA update their mental disability criteria based on the most recent DSM 5? Do you find them lagging behind the APA recommendations?
