[dluvmj23]

Ok. So I received my C an P exam results back.

They put major depression: occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity.

Mild memory loss...Flattened effect...impaired judgment

Impaired abstract thinking

Disturbances of motivation and mood....difficulty in establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships

Difficulty in adapting to stressful circumstances

Inability to establish and maintain effective relationships

Right knee osteoarthritis and severe bilateral knee chondromalacia

50 forward flexion and pain

Left knee 100 forward flexion no pain

Lumbar strain...less movement than normal...

Forward flexion 75

Cervical strain...less movement than normal

Left lateral rotation 55...pain on movement

And abnormal lymphatic was marked on line 25....not really sure what that's about.

Depression sounds like 10-30%, and the knee sounds like 10%. I have severe PTSD due to combat and I only get 70%, and I have had 2 knee surgeries on R Knee and I only get 10%, so this will give you an idea bud. Just no accurate way to help you bud, unless you post the actual C&P exam reports. I was medically retired last year after 10 years active, and I went thru the PEB/IDES program. Good luck
