under existing law and regulations within the Department ofthe Navy. 

b. Petitioner entered active duty with the Navy in November 1983 and served until his 
placement on the Temporary Disability Retirement List (TDRL) on 5 October 2004. He was 
determined to be unfit for continued naval service by the Physical Evaluation Board for PostTraumatic 
Stress Disorder (PTSD) with a 30% disability rating. At the time ofhis placement on 
the TDRL, Petitioner had over 20 years of qualifying service for retirement. 

c. The Department ofVeterans Affairs (VA) rated Petitioner's PTSD condition at 30% 
effective 6 October 2004. His PTSD rating was increased to 100% effective 2 August 2008. 

d. Petitioner was recommended for placement on the Permanent Disability Retirement List 
(PDRL) on two separate occasions as part ofTDRL periodic examinations; on 31March2008 
and 14 October 2009. However, Petitioner was administratively removed from the TDRL that 
same year. 

CONCLUSION 

Upon review and consideration ofall the evidence of record, the Board finds the existence of an 
injustice warranting the following corrective action. 

The Board determined that an injustice exists in Petitioner's record that warrants his placement 
on the PDRL. Petitioner provided sufficient evidence to show he should have been placed on the 
PDRL for his PTSD condition prior to his administrative removal from the TDRL. The Board 
concluded that his VA rating for PTSD was sufficient evidence to place him on the PDRL 
effective the date ofhis first TDRL periodic examination.

Petitioner was placed on the PDRL for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, VASRD 9411, with a
