Category 2: You Currently Are On The Temporary Disability Retired List (TDRL)

If you currently are on the TDRL, the maximum additional benefits for PTSD that you could receive from this lawsuit are the following:

• Correction of your military records to show that you were assigned at least a 50% rating for PTSD on the date you were placed on the TDRL; and
  
  
• Entitlement, from the present until at least the next time your case is re-evaluated to determine whether you should remain on the TDRL, to military disability retirement pay calculated by using at least 50% as your PTSD rating.

The first item on this list involves correction of military records. This records correction may, or may not, result in a retroactive payment to compensate you for the fact that your PTSD rating was less than 50% from the date you were released from active duty to the present. The factors that control whether you would be entitled to back pay include the following: the rating the PEB assigned to you for PTSD at the time you were released from active duty; the ratings, if any, the PEB assigned you for medical conditions other than PTSD; the amount of VA disability compensation, if any, that you received from the date of your release from active duty to the present; and whether you are entitled to Combat-Related Special Compensation.
