I hope that's not the case Carlie. It is two separare VASRD codes. They can't just change it now because it would benefit them, can they?

Thanks Berta. PEB only has dysthymic disorder listed. That is what put me on tdrl and what got me separated. Only the VA has depression and I'm rated 70% for it. They are two different diagnoses with the major difference being duration, I think. Just wondering because the law clearly states the VA can only recoup money when providing disability compensation for the same condition disacharged for. In my case, its obviously two different conditions.

I was placed on TDRL in 2009 for dysthymic disorder, VASRD 9433. The VA rated me at 30% then reevaluated for 80% for major depression, VASRD 9434. I just signed my IPEB paperwork for separation with severance for the dysthymic disorder. My question, since the VA rated me for something similar but a different VASRD code, will they still be allowed to recoup the severance through my monthly disability? Thanks for any advice. Hoping some here have been through this situation.
