My apologies if this question has been answered in another forum, but I did some digging and I can't seem to find it if it is in there.
My initial rating with PEB in 2004 was 10% for a shoulder injury received during training. Subsequently the VA rated me at 10% upon separation in 2004. I recently submitted my paperwork to the PDBR and it just came back last week. The PDBR changed my DoD rating to 20% based on the fact they felt the wrong VASRD code was used by the PEB. If the PDBR changed my VASRD code and increased my rating would I need to submit a new VA claim or just submit the documents as part of my initial claim. I am a little in the dark as to next steps.
