The MEB psychiatrist did not believe the CI’s diagnosis to be PTSD, but a mood disorder associated with TBI. All evidence considered, there is not reasonable doubt in the CI’s favor supporting a higher rating, and the Board recommends 30% as a fair rating for the CI’s psychiatric disability at the time of separation. In the matter of the left knee condition and all of the CI’s other medical conditions, the Board does not recommend a finding of unfit for additional rating at separation.
