    VA reduced final rating from proposed rating

    Did the VA explain why the Meniere's rating was reduced. I have also been awarded 100% for Meniere's but I am waiting for my official ratings. Did the VA request anymore medical documents before the final rating was issued.

From my understanding the way AFPC does things is based on priority and grade determination is number one then admin seps. are second and then everything else. This info came from my PEBLO which...

    What offsets what between VA, SSDI, FERS and Mil Med Ret. ?

    So after reading the social security link I'm a little confused. I have been awarded 100% VA and I also have a claim for SSDI. If I win SSDI would I receive an offset of pay due to my 100% VA. I was under the impression that there would not be an offset of pay. Can someone please clarify.

    Admin separation or retirement decision

    My PEBLO is sometimes useless or he is the type of person who just waits until he finds something out. I'm just going to call the MEB lawyers for the Air Force to see what they have to say. Thanks for the help
