Hello,
Long story short, I was MEB'd out of the Army as a 11B in February of 2016.
I initially got out with a 20% from the Army and a 90% from the VA.
After a few VA Claims Post Military, I got my Ratings increased by the VA to 100% Permanent and Total.
I did not have anything new added to my VA Items List but just had my Ratings increased to get bumped to 100% P&T.
One of the main additions was that my PTSD got changed to Combat Related and increased from 10-20% (Not sure how to check what I initially got out with) to now 50%.
I got MEB'd for Patellar Tendonitus in both my Knees (10% each)
Would the increases to my other symptoms such as TBI & PTSD warrant a potential Army Rating increase?
I have submitted a claim to the Army Review Board and I got a Letter that it can take up to 2 years for them to look at my case.
All I included was my DD-214 and my new VA Ratings (Attached) which I hope warrant an increase.
Reason for my post is I'm wondering if people can get an increase to their Army Rating through this method and if the PTSD/TBI alone could be used as the evidence?
Or is there anything else I should submit to my case? I know there's an email I can send additional evidence to if needed.
Appreciate any responses in advance such as personal accounts if anyone has had a similar case
