When I worked for the veterans administration as a claims examiner for 13 years I saw a handful of cases in which a veteran was dysfunctional enough that a diagnosis of inadequate personality was used as a basis for granting disability. I believe that the diagnosis and the rating decision must have been made, in part at least, to assure that the veteran involved was able to get care in a veterans hospital facility, such as the right to see the psychological staff for assistance, meds, etc. I never saw a case in which the veteran was granted total and permanent disability and the right to 100?% compensation for a diagnosis of inadequate personality, but I do remember seeing a number of cases in which the rate of disability compensation was 0% service connected, and perhaps some as high as 20%. So the answer is, yes, sometimes that diagnosis can lead to a payment from the veterans administration. All I can believe is that the diagnosis is not so important as the disabilities that evolve from it, and if they are severe enough, the veteran could get payments. So its worth pursuing a claim if you feel you are entitled to disability payments either service-connected, or non service-connected which are the lesser payments.

Why is social norm deviance considered an inadequate method of defining abnormality?

Social norm deviance is considered inadequate for defining abnormality because what is considered "normal" can vary across cultures and time periods. Additionally, not all behaviors that deviate from social norms are harmful or indicate psychological issues. Using social norm deviance alone overlooks other important factors, such as distress, dysfunction, and danger, which are crucial in defining abnormal behavior.
