[I Need Some Math Help And Advice Quick]

I wanted to send a quick reply back to everyone who was kind enough to reply. So far I went to the DAV and filed to have my two conditions of sleep apnea and hypertension added as secondary claims to my service connected PTSD. I also re-opened a claim for my left shoulder that the VA doc denied because he was in a bad mood or something that day.

I have filed a workers compensation claim for my PTSD. I have yet to hear from them but I know my claim has been assigned a number and is on-going.

I hired an attorney who specializes in work comp/disability law. I have also learned that since I have 8 months of sick leave on the books plus vacation that my department can not start the FMLA 12 weeks to fill my position until all of my leave is exhausted.

I am also having a meeting with the insurance company who covers my department with a pension/disability insurance and my lawyer. I will have to file to be medically retired basically and will get 70% of my salary if all goes well.

I can’t believe that I have lost my job to PTSD after fighting so hard after all these years to pull out of this.

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.
