hello I had a question not sure what to do at this point
I had a Pdbr decision that was made a couple of years ago and I have some questions. And don’t know who to turn to because I feel that my case is a little different than what is considered for Pdbr .
I was injured in Iraq and received I believe 10% at the time. For an injury to my hand which never healed then after I was discharged I had seven additional surgeries to that same hand which I now had to have a total fusion rated at 40% as well as nerve damage rated at 40% because of the initial injury kept progressing after the military.
As well as My second issue is that I was also found to have TBI rated at10% as well as PTSD rated at 70% and I am now at 90% rating and paid at 100% because they found that I was unemployable recently.
All of these injuries either began as a result from my initial hand injury for which I was separated, or were present at the time of my medical discharge and were not diagnosed until I reached the VA system.
if I was denied because of my initial rating of 10%, would they not look at was I was diagnosed with but not rated at the time of medical discharge.
