ptsd So Confused. So Very Confused.

[134 hawkeye medic]

k, to start off with hello, I am a combat medic and a member of the Iowa National Guard with 18 year and 10 months in. I am a E-5. I started the Med/Peb process 6 years ago after returning from a 18 month tour to Iraq. I was dx with PTSD with depressive disorder, not otherwise specified, and history of substance abuse, which is currently a 30% rating
and a 10% rating for hearing loss.

I got my disability evaluation system rating decision today in the mail and it states the following.

1. For Disability Evaluation system proposed a 30 percent evaluation is proposed for ptsd with depressive disorder.

2. For disability evaluation system propose a 0 percent is proposed for left ankle tendonitis status post fracture

3.For Disability evaluation system purposes a 30 percent evaluation is proposed for neurgenic bladder status post hysterectomy. Service connection for neurogenic bladder status post hysterectomy status post revision surgical mesh remains denied.

I guess my question is will the 30 percent be non service connected and will it still be figured into my medical retirement?

Also will they factor in the 40 % service connected along with the 30% non service connected?

any help will be appreciated. Thank you so much.

o your at 30 for PTSD and 10% for hearing loss for total of 40%, and now they have rated your ankle at 0% and given you 30% for bladder status post hysterectomy?

If this is the case, then yes you will add the 30% on to your current 40% service connected VA award..........or was this through the DOD?

This was the rating by the VA for the PEB. My current Rating of 40% remains with the VA. I am just not sure where the 30% non service conneceted comes in for my PEB and if it will count toward my retirement since it is on of the unfitting conditions that the DOD found while doing the MEB.
