I am an E-5 who has served as the Platoon Sergeant for the last seven months. Can I be rated as a Platoon Sergeant?

I came to this unit in April and was asked to take over as Platoon Sergeant in June due to a lack of Senior NCOs. My 1SG and Commander want to do a change of rater NCOER so that they can make sure I get credit for my PSG time. Unfortunately, they never slotted me as the PSG so that they could hopefully get an E-7 to come in, and the word is that I can only add PSG in as an additional duty. Is there any way to collect this experience and have it recorded as actual PSG time or was this just 7 months of practice?

Your NCOER will still be on an E5 plate, and your DMOS will be the para/line you are in, the duty description will be for the para/line you are in.
The rest of the NCOER can specifically address how you performed as an acting platoon sergeant.

No matter where this lands, good initiative on you for filling the position and obviously doing well enough for your 1SG & Commander to want to get you the credit you deserve.

You certainly can - if you're placed in the PSG slot for that time period. You have to be in a position with the same rater for at least 90 days to be rated in that position.
What you're slotted in within emilpo isn't a big deal because that can be changed in your assignment history. Sure you weren't slotted before, but it takes 10 seconds to slot you and change the effective date. Emilpo does not guide your rating, you did the job, you can be rated for it if you meet the requirements within the regulation.
Simple fix is that you have a change of rater that ends your previous experience and then starts your new job. It needs to be two separate NCOERs or it will have PSG as an additional duty.
Let's caveat all of this-it probably will not matter that you had PSG time as an E5 when the board reviews it. The pin on time for SFC is four years, and it will be several years until your records are reviewed by the board. The board usually looks at the last 5 NCOERs (not a rule, they just only have 2-3 minutes to review a record), and your current NCOER will most likely be in the past in several years once the board reviews it.
