Just another TDRL ?

[Primitive Doc]

Folks I’m sorry I have been reading posts and getting more confused and concerned by the hour. I am putting up a new post so as to not hijack attention from what are all important issues. If someone going through IDES claims PTSD on their VA claim; and PTSD was not even evaluated by the PEB All unfitting conditions were orthopedic & migraines, is there any real concern of being put on TDRL instead of PDRL?

No worries, it's all good!

In my opinion, based upon your given information, there should potentially exist an opportunity to receive a PDRL finding determination for your orthopedic and migraines unfitting medical conditions while within the DoD IDES MEB/PEB process.

To that extent, it seems that your PTSD medical condition will be rated by the DoVA D-RAS as one of many DoVA claimed conditions. But remember that the DoD must adopt the DoVA D-RAS rating for each PEB-referred unfitting condition.

Thus, I quite often comment that "possessing well-informed knowledge is truly a powerful equalizer."

Best Wishes!

Does the PTSD prevent you from doing your job? If not, I don't think you'll have to worry about PEB determining it unfitting and affecting your retirement (PDRL vs TDRL).

No PTSD was not even evaluated by the MEB/PEB it was just on the VA claim.
I’m mild to Moderate. Can’t stand crowds of any kind/ Must have a way out of an area or I vapor lock / can’t have back to doors windows / Some anger / nightmares / hyper vigilant / Armed in some manner (legally) all of the time (Even though I’m on a cane). And two weird ones cannot be near crowds of children (Separate trigger) / cannot be in water with people floating on their back or even front (Like bodies)
So in a nutshell my PTSD does not really hurt me doing my job it’s the ortho stuff. I have to say though I had doc that examined my profile and he found where it said no standing in formations he said. “Well that takes care of the Army type crowds you handle the civilian ones”. I don’t know if it was a blessing or a curse.
Like most soldiers my PTSD treatment was spotty and not very satisfying so I kept on keeping on as it were. But my PTSD was not in my MEB at all, so it looks like I might make it to PDRL. Which is it its way a relief. I know there are no guarantees. But I have gone from loving the service and wanting to make the Army a career to being treated like I am the worst thing anyone has ever had to deal with because of my MEB. Even people who know the truth about my injuries (Because there were there for some) treat me like I have let them down. I just want to walk away and de compress. I believe in my heart I disserve better than this and I’m not being selfish or feeling entitled. I have earned a minimum amount of respect and I am being treated like I am this. I just want to finish this and move on.

Brother, I totally comprehend!

That said, please continue with your behavioral healthcare treatments as best as you can tolerate. Believe it or not, they have made some difference with my total physical and behavioral healthcare treatment recovery.

So, yeah, the PTSD may not even be determined unfitting if there's no significant mention of affecting PMOS duties.
