First of all, thanks for everything you guys do here. You guys gave me confidence throughout this process and helped me choose IDES over LDES.
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
