In the seven months since the previous C&P exam, the CI had been hospitalized once for command hallucinations and suicidal ideation. Subsequent VA records indicate the CI was hospitalized at least four more times in 2006-2008 with hallucinations and suicidal ideation, with GAFs ranging from 20 to 58. The Board determined, therefore, that none of the stated conditions were subject to Service disability rating.

Any conditions or contention not requested in this application, or otherwise outside the Boards defined scope of review, remain eligible for future consideration by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records.

SEPARATION DATE: 20081107 The CI was also diagnosed with an adjustment disorder and a personality disorder that the PEB “found to be not compensable, although they may be administratively unfitting.” This case is eligible for review under the stipulations of the MH and Review Program as elaborated in the Scope above and, in accordance with VASRD 4.130 (mental disorders), only one disability rating may be provided for MH (except eating disorders) based upon total social and occupational...

VA psychiatric outpatient notes proximate to separation indicate the CI’s condition deteriorated significantly at that time, and he was diagnosed with PTSD in addition to bipolar disorder four days prior to separation. RECOMMENDATION : The Board recommends that the CI’s prior determination be modified as follows: TDRL at 50% for six months following CI’s prior medical separation (minimum of 50% IAW §4.129) and then a permanent 50% disability retirement as below. Absent the requirement for...

At the MEB examination on 24 June 2003, 10 months prior to separation, the examiner noted a history of psychotic disorder without further elaboration. The PEB coded the condition 9210 for a non specified psychotic disorder and rated it at 10% for mild impairment treated with medication. The Board noted that the CI was responding well to medications at the time of discharge from the hospital, 9 months prior to separation.

The Board must then determine the most appropriate fit with VASRD 4.130 criteria at six months for its permanent rating recommendation. Personality disorder and non-cardiac chest pain were discussed in detail under anxiety disorder above. As discussed above, PEB likely reliance on DoDI 1332.39 for rating the anxiety disorder condition was operant in this case and the condition was adjudicated independently of that instruction by the Board.

The Service ratings for unfitting conditions will be reviewed in all cases. The Board considered that both the PEB’s anxiety disorder and the CI’s noted VA PTSD diagnosis are mental health conditions with similar standards of fitness and use the same VA rating criteria of §4.130. In addition to the CI’s spinal fusion condition 40% rating, the CI should also be found unfit and rated for his mental health condition.
