I am fairly early in the process and was curious whether something would be considered in my DOD rating. I fully understand that the DOD rating is based on the referred conditions of which I have two. My question is whether the treatment is also considered part of that? The treatment for my referred conditions includes the daily use of immunosuppressive drugs which appears to warrant a high rating but "use of immunosuppressants is not one of my referred conditions.
Would this be included in my DOD rating.

Look up the ratings with each referred condition and see what %'s the VA rates that condition. The DOD uses the VA's ratings. So if you have severe migraines and based on your symptoms the VA would rate that condition 50%. Then if your branch's PEB found you unfit for migraines your DOD% would be 50% for that condition.
does the dod just copy and paste the va's rating? i heard they are more strict
If you are in IDES the VA rates and the PEB decides on fit or unfit. For anything that the IPEB say is unfit the PEB MUST use the ratings that the VA did for that condition.
