So I originally posted this on my MEB timeline thread, but I feel it would be better served in this forum.
So I just received my 199 today, and was rated temporarily on PTSD (as expected) but also on my back. I have been seen for my back consistently since 2010. Their justification for the temporary rating was that statistically, with three years of treatment, many symptoms can be relieved. With 10 years of treatment, is there anything I can do at this point to fight for permanency? I get the PTSD, but fighting for the next 3 years to keep my 40% for my back (a large contributing factor to my 100%) just seems exhausting. I don't know if there are any moderators monitoring this, or fellow posters with experience here, but I just want to make sure I have all the information before signing this thing on Monday.
EDIT: Also, for my back, it states that the injury happened from carrying 80 lbs on my back. In fact, it states in several places throughout the years (including the initial complaint from sickcall) that it occurred on a combat jump. Is this something that I should fight for now before getting out, or is this something I can take care of after I leave active duty? I am specifically concerned because I wish to apply for CRSC.
Thank you
