The VA combined my PTSD with my already 10% for Brain Trauma,Post Concussion Residuals, Left Temporal Lobe, chronic and then added WITH PTSD to it for a combined rating of 50% based on the higher evaluation of the 50% for PTSD.
Since I am now at 70% combined rating, does the 50% for PCS/PTSD count as one of the disabilities being 40% or better with a total of a combined rating meeting the 70% threshold?
This is what I have right now (Keep in mind the skull loss is in error and NOD submitted, as it should be 50% by itself instead of the errorneous rating of 30%). (Should be total of 80% combined rating).
PCS/PTSD - 50%
Skull Loss - 30%
Tinnitus - 10%
Scar - 10%
Since the reg states if there are more than one disability, there must be one rated at least 40% with the other disabilities combined to bring the total combined rating of 70%. I'm wondering if they will split the PCS/PTSD stating that it is not ONE disability with at least 40% since there are two combined into the 50%?

OK,
