RECOMMENDATION : The Board...

IAW DODI 1332.38 this diagnosis falls under “conditions and circumstances not constituting a physical disability.” This condition cannot be adjudicated as separately unfitting, and there was no deduction from the CI’s unfitting PTSD diagnosis for any potential contribution from alcohol abuse. The Board, therefore, has no reasonable basis for recommending any additional unfitting conditions for separation rating. Exhibit C. Department of Veterans' Affairs Treatment Record

The Board determined that anMH diagnosis was eliminated in the disability evaluation process.This applicant therefore did appear to meet the inclusion criteria in the Terms of Reference of the MH Review...
