I dont know much about it, so I read... and like most things VA I still dont know anything about it! haha.

http://knol.google.com/k/jim-strickland/a-military-veterans-guide-to-disability/i4hm0dxfnnzs/15#

that link provided a lot of insight. After some searching it appears that you need 60% or 70% combined (multiple adding up to). I dont know much else than that. If you doctors note holds water, than maybe you will get it.

Good luck!

YES as long as one SVC is rated at 60%.  Contact a good VSO asap and get it filed.
