ptsd What Do You Think My % May Be

[bjwestern]

I finally received the Draft Narsum, I was just hoping for some input from you guys since you have been here before. My 2 Medically unacceptable things are PTSD, Lumber spondylosis, Failed back syndrome. I had 2 back surgeries within the past 1 1/2 and my spine is still not fused together (25%), theyalso replaced 3 disc. I have other little issues but Im not concerned with them. Do you guys think that with the Diagnosis below plus my back I will be medically retired. Ive got 12 years in and 2 depolyments

axis1: PTSD-309.81

axis2: none-799.9

axis3: refer to medical

axis4:moderate-severe(pain, familial, occupational, health, transition

axisV: 55

I would appreciate any feedback, I a little nervous. Dont like the idea of my future out of my hands so to say

allright my friend i have been through a med board in mar 2010 i was med retired for psycotic disorder all mental problems are 50 pecent i know this cause through this just from your ptsd you will be medically retired at 50 i dont know about the others but you will be retired youll get an id card it will be blue ptsd usually gets TDRL meaning temp disability retirement list. mine was pdrl. allright if you get tdrl you get 5 years with your id card and retiremnt pay but you have to attend physical or your case pysch evals every 18 months. if you do not go to the appointment they will stop your retiremnt pay. but if you get pdrl you have the retiremnt and its benefits for life.

What if your over 20 years, will i be TDRL or go straight to PDRL? current C&P shows me PTSD, mild TBI and a GAF of 55?

still seeing a Psyhc. still on active duty, but going thru MEB for Back issues.

The great thing about you completeing over 20 years you get your military retirement and VA disability. By now you should be out so you can file va let you know now the claims take a long time. The thing is since you did 20 years you get a huge amount of retro pay as well.

lets say you did not complete 20 years and you medically retired. Once you receive you decision from va they woeld subtract the amount you recieved from retirement from that retro pay. So since you did 20 years that doesnt happen to you so good luck my friend
