Currently Med boarding and got my 100% rating for PTSD from my deployment. My question is, Can I request a severance package, just to help me out as I'm leaving.

With 100% DoD rating you are entitled to disability retirement pay. I found no provision for declination of retired pay to accept disability severance pay.

One can decline VA compensation by not agreeing to waive retired pay dollar for dollar of the VA comp received. That would be a bad decision in my opinion.
