Hello everyone,
Little background, I have been in 9.5 years and have had 2 surgeries for herniated discs at L5-S1.
After about 10 months and multiple PCM's and multiple PEBLOS. My package has been sent to IPEB.
My question is which diagnosis will my rating go off of? My PEBLO says they will go off of both but that doesnt seem to make any sense.
My PCM diagnosed me with Lumbosacral neuritis with back condition status post spinal surgery X 2. When I look that up on VASRD my ROM equals 20% rating.
The VA diagnosed me with Intervertebral Disc Syndrom w/ Degenerative arthritis changes and most likely involved peripheral nerve is the femoral, external cutaneous nerve of thigh and sciatic nerve which affects the right side of the body. When I look up the rating on the Vasrd for this it equals 60% with being on bedrest for more than 6 weeks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
