Update/Questions:

Just received my NARSUM from PEBLO. I was referred PTSD, Lumbar Back, Upper Neck and Sciatic Nerve. My question is about the referred conditions for the DOD Ratings.

A. I had a LOD for my lumbar and sciatic conditions and came back as "does not meet retention", but the NARSUM states, "Existed Prior To service (ETPS)", but MEB doctors checked off "Permanently Aggravated by Service (PAS)"
1. Does that mean I will or will NOT get DOD-connected percentages for these conditions based on PAS?
2. Should I fight with an Independent Medical Review or Appeal the MEB findings for the above back conditions?

B. PTSD This was a referred condition, MEB just checked off "does not meet retention"
1. I am reasonable confident this will be at least 50% with VA. I am already 70% at 10 years with the VA and the PTSD review exam for IDES pretty much confirms the 70%

Based on the above information, does aggravated by service mean that the PEB will count those back conditions for DOD ratings? Attached snapshot of my NARSUM

Good Afternoon,

A1. The NARSUM is service connecting them by saying the condition was permanently aggravated by service so you should get the DoD rating for them.
A2. In my opinion, if you feel as though the information is incorrect you should appeal and fight it. I didn't have any problems with what my NARSUM so I didn't.
B1. That is what my NARSUM said as well for PTSD. After consulting with legal, that means that it is service connected and it has been found as a unfit condition to continue military service.

Thanks man for the quick response. I panicked there for a bit. I think EPTS is bullshit, my MEPS records show nothing for prior to service. Thanks man, that helps for me to figure out what I am going to do. I'll check with legal (IF I can get a hold of em)

Congrats I just got my referral last week. Did you have to schedule your IDES brief yourself or does the peblo do that. Also, do you feel like you had anytime to try and do a skillbridge program along the way.
 
PEBLO will sent a bunch of paperwork. They ask you to fill out. It will include date/times for legal brief. TAKE notes during the briefs

Thanks for the info I will definitely be bringing a notebook because I will forget if I don’t write it down.
