    New Physical Disability Board of Review for those Separated since 2001

    Hey CommoSgt, thank you for the congrats. I filed in July 2009. I can get you the case # in a little bit. Basically the board agreed that the Army used the wrong rating code which granted me 10%. They should have used the VA rating codes which of course granted me 30%. Did you file? I seriously...

    New Physical Disability Board of Review for those Separated since 2001

    Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that I received my results from the PDBR. My separation was recharacterized as medical disability @ 30%. So yes, the PDBR unanomously agreed that my initial PEB rated me incorrectly. The entire process took a year and a half. I am to receive backpay minus...

    Appealing spondylosis claim denied by VA

    Jason, Yeah that seems the just of it. Thank you for your help as well. Quick side note. I applied for the PDBR back in July. I received 10% from the Army and 30% from the VA upon discharge for the back fractures. The PDRB received my file in July and I have a docket number. From your...

    Appealing spondylosis claim denied by VA

    Jason, I most likely will be appealing. In the exam I had, the doctor "did not take into account evidence demostrating excess fatigability, or pain nor did the exam provide the VA with an opinion as to whether pain could significantly limit functional ability during flare-ups or when used...

    Greetings, I have a 30% rating for S/P L1 burst and L4 compression with degenerative disc discease and residuals. I recently applied for an increased rating for spondylosis which was diagnosed last March. The VA denied my claim for spondylosis. I am assuming they rated this as a residual...

    New Physical Disability Board of Review for those Separated since 2001

    Hi Jack, Thank you for the tip. I was rated 10% for Lumbar fractures, codes 5285+5299+5295 were listed on the side of my PEB. However, the VA rated 30% 5 weeks later after being discharged. Should I just send in the DoD form and see what happens or should I also prepare a brief and a...

    New Physical Disability Board of Review for those Separated since 2001

    Jason, Thank you for the quick reply. The VA assigned my rating literally 6 weeks after I got out - 30% back + 30% mental = 50%. Had another 10% tacked on earlier this year. I am certainly going to apply for the new decision. What sort of supporting documents should I submit? Is the board...

    Jason, Long time reader, first time posting. I was medically discharged in 07/2002 with a 10% rating for an L4 compression fracture and L1 burst fracture from a parachute accident. VA has me at 30% for the back with an additional 40% for "others" which are related to my back for a total of...
