Rating of 100% A total disability rating of 100% will be assigned to any veteran without regard
to other provisions of the rating scheduled when it is established that a service-connected disability has required hospital
treatment in a Department of Veterans Affairs or an approved hospital for a period in excess of 21 days or hospital observation
at Department of Veterans Affairs expense for a service-connected disability for a period in excess of 21 days. Example: A veteran engages in treatment
at in-patient treatment for PTSD at an approved VA PTSD Treatment program. How to Rate a Mental Disorder When evaluating a veteran for a mental disorder, the rating agency shall consider the frequency, severity, and duration
of psychiatric symptoms, the length of remissions, and the veteran’s capacity for adjustment during periods of remission.
The rating agency shall assign an evaluation based on all the evidence of record that bears on occupational and social
impairment rather than solely on the examiner’s assessment for the level of disability at the moment of the examination. Example: An examining psychologist must take into account the
veteran’s entire psychological history that may have a determining factor on an accurate diagnosis. Arthritis Explained With service incurred lower extremity amputation
or shortening, a disabling arthritis, developing in the same extremity, or in both lower extremities, with indications of
earlier, or more severe arthritis in the injured extremity, including also arthritis of the lumbosacral joints and lumbar
spine, if associated with the leg amputation or shortening, will be considered as service incurred, provided, however, that
arthritis affecting joints not directly subject to strain as a result of the service incurred amputation will not be granted
service connection. This will generally require separate evaluation of the arthritis in the joints directly subject to strain.
Amputation or injury to an upper extremity , is not considered as a causative factor with subsequently developing arthritis,
except in joints subject to direct strain or actually injured. Source: Title 38, 4.58 Arthritis Horse Therapy for
