I am currently rated for 90% service connected disability total.
70% PTSD and depression
30 % Allergies
10% right knee
10% urticaria (hives)
10 % for hand tremors
0% for leg tremors
Is this math right 90% total?????
I have been working at my job for 17 plus years as a police officer and I have been in two shootings in my career the first sent me to VA for help and the second one was just a few weeks ago. Due to a drug test after my shooting, I tested positive for two VA prescribed medications (prozac and trazadone) used to treat my ptsd. I had to bring in a letter from my VA doctor showing that I had a legal prescription.
Once my employer learned I had ptsd they immediately sent me to a psychologist for what they called a fitness for duty examination which I apparently failed as have PTSD and Depression. My employer says I am no longer fit for duty.
They are trying to force me in quiting or perhaps a medical retirement. This will devastate my wife and kids and leave us homeless.
Some suggest I should try and get the VA to put me @ 100% because I am losing my job. When my sick leaves runs out in 3 months I will be terminated. I need some advice….. thanks.
