All evidence considered and IAW VASRD §4.3, reasonable doubt is resolved in favor of the CI in recommending a separation rating of 10% for the left knee condition (coded 5299-5257) plus a 10% rating for the right knee condition (coded 5259). The CI carried an H3 profile for his hearing impairment and H2 is required for the MOS, but there is no evidence that his prior performance was ever affected by the condition. In the matter of the bilateral knee conditions, the Board unanimously...

There was extremely limited service treatment record (STR)in evidence related to the low back pain condition for the Board to consider for rating recommendation. Bilateral Hip Pain .The PEB combined the bilateral hip pain conditions under a single disability rating analogously coded, 5003. As noted above, the Board,IAW VASRD §4.7 (higher of two evaluations), must consider separate ratings for PEB bilateral joint adjudications; although, separate fitness assessments must justify each...

(2) is limited to those conditions which were determined by the PEB to be specifically unfitting for continued military service or, when requested by the CI, those conditions “identified but not determined to be unfitting by the PEB.” The back pain, depressive disorder, bilateral plantar fasciitis, bilateral retropatellar pain, migraine headaches and left wrist conditions meet the criteria prescribed in DoDI 6040.44 for Board purview. The Board then considered the disability rating for the...

An additional combined condition, “secondary low back and bilateral knee pain” was forwarded as “not boardable.” The PEB (via an Informal Reconsideration following an appeal) conceded aggravation of the congenital podiatric conditions; and, consolidated three of the MEB submitted conditions (as specified in the PEB’s DA Form 199 language quoted below) as a single unfitting condition characterized as “Painful feet on [sic] ankles due to plantar fasciitis and posterior tibial tendonitis with...

The MEB and narrative summary (NARSUM) exam at four months prior to separation noted that the CI complained of chronic pain in the shin and foot, was unable to run without pain and rated this pain as 3-4 out of 10, with 10 being the worst. The Board noted that the CI’s condition was only somewhat improved by arch supports and there was no painful motion of the ankle or abnormal gait at the VA exam. In the matter of the right hip, right knee and migraine headaches conditions, and any other...

CI CONTENTION : “The Medical board concentrated on my Left Knee, but neglected to review my back, right knee, shoulders, feet, and head (migraines from airborne). The Board evaluates DVA evidence proximal to separation in arriving at its recommendations, but its authority resides in evaluating the fairness of DES fitness decisions and rating determinations for disability at the time of separation. In the matter of the left knee condition, the Board unanimously recommends a service...

The informal PEB adjudicated “chronic pain right hip and left shoulder” and “bilateral plantar fasciitis” as unfitting, rated 10% and 0%,respectively (IAW the US Army Physical Disability Agency (USAPDA) pain policy).

The PEB adjudicated the chronic bilateral plantar fasciitis as unfitting, rated 0%, with likely application of the US Army Physical Disability Agency (USAPDA) pain policy. The ankle condition will be considered by the Board as it relates to the unfitting bilateral plantar fasciitis condition. RECOMMENDATION: The Board recommends that the CIs prior determination be modified as follows; and, that the discharge with severance pay be recharacterized to reflect permanent disability retirement,...
