Good day,

Does anyone know if there’s a standard % usually given for anxiety? Or a range of %?

Thanks.

Well, in a nutshell....If Favourable, a damn good hefty one. Should be in the 35%-40% range which equates to well over $140,000-$156,000 Lump Sum range. A buddy of mine just had his Generalized Anxiety Disorder approved for 39% and a Medical Impairment Rating of 35 for a Lump Sum of approx $156,000! Cha-ching! Also, this VAC claim went really fast. It went from Step 1 to Complete in 4 months.

Following. I was diagnosed with a GAD many years ago. I never submitted in VAC for it.

Don't hold back one minute. Go on your VAC Account if you have one created and submit a VAC claim for that. If this is documented in your service medical records, there is a good chance you will be approved. Go ahead for sure and apply. In recent year or so, as a general rule of thumb and from what I've heard....most, if not all OSI Mental Health claims are usually Favourable. I am not saying ALL, but most are nowadays. You will gain and have access to plenty of OSI Mental Health Benefits from the OSI Clinic in addition to a nice hefty Lump Sum. I was in the same boat as you. I never knew a thing about all this VAC stuff, let alone OSI conditions, etc until last year I literally stumbled upon a couple of OSI Diagnosis's in my service medical records. I pursued and submitted a VAC claim for Adjustment Disorder. It was a Favourable Decision first time around in just a few months and I received amazing treatment benefits at the OSI Clinic and a huge Lump Sum from the Decision.

I have been diagnosed by a DND psychologist as having GAD and adjustment disorder In November, and submitted my claim soon after. I had no mental health issues for the first 45 years of my life, but I worry VAC will try to pin it on the death of a close family member 6 years ago, and not on the shitty way I have been treated over 21 years in the mob. I have been in marriage counseling and have been seeing a therapist twice a month for a year now. I don’t trust VAC tbh and that’s why I was wondering what a typical assessment might be….thanks everyone.

I'm also in the process of mental health disability benefit with VAC, and got following psychiatric diagnosis from DND appointed psychologist:

  • Major depressive disorder: moderate
  • Generalized anxiety disorder: moderate
  • Alcohol use disorder: moderate
  • Cannabis use disorder: in sustained remission

My case is now waiting to be handed to a decision maker, but the whole process started from last July and I just want to get this done. It is a little bit of tiring process I find.

I am waiting on a ‘decision maker’ too. Apparently a detailed 4 page report from a licensed psychologist on DND letterhead doesn’t speed anything up.

Hopefully the wait is worth it. Now I'm released and I want to resume treatments.
