Military Service-Connection Vs Va Service-Connection

[mclevela726]

Is there a difference bewteen the two? If not, shouldn't the VA also Service-Connect me for the condition?

Your profile shows 90 percent SC, so I'm not understanding your question.

Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Both the PEB and PDBR Service-Connected me for this condition and yet the VA has denied me!

[mclevela726]

I'm currently 90% for: L and R - Lower Radiculopthies, L and R - Upper Radiculopthies, Left Shoulder, Degenerative Disc Disease of Cervical and Lumbar spine. I contended Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Sleep Apnea in a new claim. I was diagnosed in service with Myofsacial Pain Syndrome and Med Boarded (along with the spinal conditions and radiculopathies) as a result.

I thought I had already claimed the Myo, but after looking through my stuff from the original VA Claim it was not considered. When I realized this I filed a claim.

Not sure if this helps?!

Thanks

This may help too?!

I was originally Med Boarded at 10% then up'd to 20% after the PDBR review.

The VA currently has me service-connected at 90%.

Thanks again

It is possible for the military to med board you out and then for the VA to deny service connection. It goes the other way around as well. The military can kick you out for adminstrative purpose and then the VA can service connect you 100%.
