The other three conditions were adjudicated as not unfitting and the CI was medically separated with a combined disability rating of 20%. Since combining the PEB’s two 10% ratings into a single 20% rating would be of no total benefit to the CI, the Board sees no reason for recommending this coding option. He also states that the majority of his discomfort is back pain related and not related to leg pain.’ The VA rating examiner documented a normal motor examination but did not detail a...

The principle of rating all mental health symptoms under the predominate diagnosis is endorsed and there is no evidence in the record that CI's impairment due to different diagnoses can be specifically separated. The LCSW noted a decrease in panic attacks to 1x/week, and the VA noted that the CI had self-discontinued medications as not helping and making him feel worse and noted impaired interpersonal interactions. The Board determined that at the time of separation, the CI's clinical...
