REVIEW OF NAVAL RECORD
Ref: (a} 10 U.S.C. 1552
Encl: (21) DD Form 149
(2) Subject's naval record
1. Pursuant to the provisions of reference (a), Subject,
hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with this
Board requesting, in effect, that his naval record be corrected to
show that he is entitled to combat-related special compensation for
residuals of injuries to his lower extremities, and lumbar strain
with chronic recurrent low back pain.
2, The Board, consisting of Messrs .AF | PDBR | CY2011 | PD2011-00410
The MEB examiner noted that the CI had constant tingling to the lateral aspect of the right lower extremity; weakness and fatigue; a right foot drop secondary to peroneal nerve injury; an AFO was required to hold the foot up to allow for walking along with a cane to provide balance; the right leg was 1.5 cm shorter and a right heel lift was required to assist with balance; there was right calf atrophy; and an inability to stand on toes due to right ankle weakness. The DD Form 2808 noted...

During the MEB exam on 5 June 2002 five months prior to separation the CI still complained of occasional back pain, some pain in his left foot, occasional left leg pain, and left lower leg numbness. In the matter of the LBP condition, the Board unanimously recommends a disability rating of 20%, coded 5299-5295, IAW VASRD 4.71a. I have reviewed the subject case pursuant to reference (a) and, for the reasons set forth in reference (b), approve the recommendation of the Physical Disability...

After a review of all evidence, the Board therefore has no reasonable basis for recommending the left superficial peroneal nerve injury as a separate unfitting condition for separation rating. The Board determined therefore that this condition was not subject to service disability rating. Other Conditions.
AF | PDBR | CY2012 | PD2012 00609
The FPEB adjudicated the previous conditions as it had before (chronic LBP and saphenous nerve palsy, left as unfitting, rating 20% and 0% respectively) and also adjudicated “Left knee pain due to retropatellar pain syndrome” as unfitting and rated at 0%. The VA coded the condition 8727 and rated 10%. Under the authority of Title 10, United States Code, section 1554(a), I approve the enclosed recommendation of the Department of Defense Physical Disability Board of Review (DoD PDBR)...
AF | PDBR | CY2009 | PD2009-00429
Examinations from May 2005 by a civilian neurologist show difficulty with right foot dorsiflexion, a lot of pain laterally on the leg from the knee down, especially on the foot with any tactile stimuli or with movement. The VA rated the CI’s disability under a peripheral neuropathy code but included the functional motor loss and therefore was not limited to rating the disability at the moderate level. The CI had motor weakness most likely due to pain documented on multiple examinations as...

The Board does not have the authority under DoDI 6040.44 to render fitness or rating recommendations for any conditions not considered by the DES. Exhibit C. Department of Veterans' Affairs Treatment Record. I recommend coding and rating 8599-8520 at 40% as an accurate rating of the CI's left lower extremity disability.
AF | PDBR | CY2014 | PD-2014-00654
At TDRL placement, the PEB adjudicated the CI’s headache condition at 10% coded 8045-9304 (brain disease due to trauma, purely subjective).The PEB documented that the CI’s headaches required him to go home from work twice a week, but that he was still able to work 30 hours a week.The VA rated the condition of chronic headaches, coded 8100 (migraine). The FPEB, under code 6081, rated the condition at 10%, and noted the condition was stable but prevented the return to active duty.The Board...

That is why the VA can rate the applicant for having medical conditions even though those same conditions did not make him unfit to perform his military duties. The PEB found the applicant to be unfit under VASRD code 8626 due to chronic neuritis in his left leg, including wounds to the left proximal medial thigh, and recommended he be discharged with severance pay with a 20 percent disability rating. If he should ask the VA to rate him for PTSD, and if he received even just a 10 percent...
AF | PDBR | CY2013 | PD-2013-02208
The Board’s assessment of the PEB rating determinations is confined to review of medical records and all available evidence for application of theVASRD standards to the unfitting medical condition at the time of separation. The NARSUM noted bilateral lower leg pain associated with exertion, and some tenderness in the right lower leg, absence of atrophy, weakness and tropic changes.
