Default Re: Confusing Medical Sitatution

Hi, I hope I am not too late to help. I was a reservist for 6 yeas after spending 12 years on active duty. I was diagnosed with PTSD/Anxiety/ and another injury all in the LOD/Combat related. OEF/OIF I was released in Mar 2005 with a P4. For 2 years I wrote my congressman, my Unit and Wing CC to ask for help as the regulation was clear that I was to go to a MEB and kept on orders until either I recieved treatment needed and get better or be MEB'd out. Well 18 months later the HQSG contacted me and apologized for just getting my case. I requested to get on orders as I had not had any medical treatment and I was a mess. No luck. I was told I was correct but nothing they could do as the CC had to put me on orders. The commander denied my request. Then, I was referred to the IG. 60 days later I was on orders and sent to MEB. TDRL @ 40%. 3/07 I went to the VA was rated at 90%, I ended up in the hospital Dec 2007 and could not go back to my job that I was failing at miserably due to my medical conditions. I was awarded social security disabiltiy within 20 days of my request. The VA awarded me 100% to UE. I requested my records be reviewed by the BCMR. I recieved a letter stating that I should have not been released due to my profile and that my medical records were delayed for review from 2005-2007 at no fault of my own. My package has been sent to the final decision makers but I am hopeful that they will concur with the SAF. Long story short... Contact the MEB office and get your records. Make 3 copies. Give a set to someone you trust because you will misplace your stuff... Contact the IG and let them do the inquiries. I think as long as you get your ducks and documents in line. It will all work out. Best of luck!
