Spondylitis Association of America Forums General Discussion Military & Veterans Board Spondylolysis & Spondylolisthesis rated at 10%

Probably not eligible- call a recruiter and ask. They will know. For example -Most chronic conditions will DQ military service - even ADHD if you take meds. Usually the recruiter will tell the candidate to try not taking meds for a year and they can do they then they can be enlisted at least - not sure if they would for officers however.

I was placed on TDRL in 2005 after being diagnosed with AS. The PRB rated me at 40% then. A year later I was discharged from the Army, and the PEB dropped my rating to 10% because my AS had stablized. I didnt get better, stayed the same but lost 30%? Ihad 23 years of service. At the time I was placed on TDRL I had 18 1/2 years of active duty. Guess who got beat out of retirement. I did get severance pay, which they take 1/2 of my VA check to pay back. I have filed with the VA to get an increase in rating in May 2010. The VA has just started working my file, May 2012. I will post any results I get.
