    Injury During BCT

    Well she was sent home and has been home since June 17th. She was counseled about Con Leave but that is it as far as I know. The NG Recruit Sustainment Battalion was notified of her being sent home for 30 days of Con Leave. I do not believe a LOD was done on this but there should be more...

    Question regarding PTSD Rating

    Again it goes back to many things being missing from the exam. She put that I was in school full time albeit she failed to mention that the grades were borderline failing due to concentration and irritability issues. Also she failed to address the fact that I dropped to part time from full time...

    Question regarding PTSD Rating

    scoutCC, If you could, take a look at the following C&P results and tell me what you think. I believe it is contradicting in the results. First off there are a lot of missing symptoms. My exam started at 11:15am and the exam was signed off on by 11:42am. It was a very fast exam, not many...

    Question regarding PTSD Rating

    If somebody with experience would chime in, I am wondering if when it comes to rating PTSD if the rater just goes by the magical occupational and social impairment or if they also use the additional symptoms that are checked off? For instance: The social impairment sits at the 10% or 30% level...

    Question about ratings and IU

    I understand your notion about the 40% for a single condition but being that DDD and Radiculopathy are both related to the lumbar and thoracolumbar spine that they would combine into a single system for determination purposes...

    Question about ratings and IU

    I am trying to figure out if when concerning Individual Unemployability, how the VA will look at my ratings. I was rated at 20% for DDD of thoracolumbar spine and then rated 20% for lumbar radiculopathy. Will these two ratings combine to have the 40% for a single rating of a claim to fall under...

    Seattle Regional VA Timelines:

    You are not far behind me. I was found unfit 4 September and my ebenefits went to "Requested Separation Documents" on 19 February. That being said, depending on the complexity of your case, you should be really close to being finished for the ratings stage. Now I sit and wait for my PEBLO to...
