To respond to Berta. Yes i have a peblo. I am waiting on my ratings now since PEB did my formal exam and agreed with the findings. When i first saw the EPTS i went to legal. The lawyer said it wouldn’t affect my rating and that i will be fine. I took his word. Signed off that i agreed with the PEB findings. But i couldn’t shake the thought of the EPTS. I get conflicting answers online. I read that the va rates the EPTS by subtracting the percentage you were already “disabled” upon entry by what they would normally rate you if it were service connected. But i don’t have a prior percentage. I was healthy lol. If i get a poor rating back I’m fighting it. But i wish i had listened to my gut feeling.

I am being Medboarded for PTSD and Bipolar Disorder. It was classified as “EPTS and permanently aggravated by service” even though i came in the service with ZERO already existing conditions. I did not have ptsd or bipolar before i joined. It was not ever noted in my initial entry exam. However they still classified it as EPTS. My question is; what is the highest rating a condition that is considered EPTS but permanently aggravated by the service can receive ? Is there a limit one can get as a percentage because it was categorized as EPTS ?
