Jason,
I just ran across an article on military.com about a non-profit group helping disabled vets with anything they can. The article link is Vets Find Safety Net Online and the group website is http://www.usatogether.org This looks like a good group that is wanting to help anyone it can......and the funny part is that they are lacking the most important thing.......disabled veterans needing help. I was just on the phone with them and told them that I will get the word out as much as I can to disabled vets to visit the site.

Jason how is it going, I'm an E/6 in the navy with 19yrs in I have had 2 limdu's and currently on a PEB for severe complicated Hemipeligic Migraines, the migraines started back in 2001. I have been medivac of the ship twice since, and I have at least 40-45 documented entries in my medical record. I have been on all type of medications since then from beta blockers to triptans and I always been on a treatment plan which I have followed. My condition consist of severe migraines with left facial drop, left side weakness and blurred vision this last for about a week at a time it's like I'm having a stroke. In DEC 08 I was medivac of the ship again and my neuro said that is enough you have 19 years so your safe. I had my VA appointment over three weeks ago and they have not fowarded my results to my peblo yet should that be a concern and what if any do you think I will be rated at from past knowledge.

Jason,
I am having a really hard time understanding this whole MEB/IPEB/TDRL/etc. etc.... I have a ton of questions I hope you can clear up for me. In short, I have just recieved notice that the Air Force is placing me on the TDRL (rated at 50%, combat related PTSD). I would like to stay active duty but I was affraid of losing the rating they gave me, since my doctor and commander both wrote in my MEB package to retain me. So I accepted their findings. Right now, I am lost.... I have so many worries and thoughts running through my head I can't even figure out what questions to ask first. Can you please help me understand what to expect next? My main worry is my income.... I've been in the AF 10 years and I'm an E-5. Hope you can help clear my head a bit.
Thank you in advance, Jeremy

Everything's great here! Nothing new though, just waiting around for paperwork, retirement orders and DD214. I'm actually killing time looking at apartments in different states. It looks like Fort Worth may be the place for me to finish up college. Holy crap I had no idea it was that cheap to live in Texas! It's like 1/3 of what it is here.

Have you been in your new home a full year? It must be close.

Jason,
I haven't just stopped to say hi in too long. HI! :D

Jason,
I am National Guard. I have been on orders since August 2004. Went to Iraq 2005-2006, came home and volunteered to stay on title 10 for operation warrior trainer (training deploying guardsmen). My orders are ending and my guard unit is about to redeploy. While clearing, I was sent to the TMC for a consult due to the fact since returning from Iraq in 06 I have had 4 seizures. The last being just 4 months ago. I have been seeing a neuroligist and the only thing he can come up with is that I received some type of head wound during my tour (I never lost cons.). Anyway the Dr at the TMC said it looks like they are going to have to send me to fort gordon for a peb and/or an mmrb I know little about either. I have 19 years in the guard and like I stated earlier, have been on orders for the past 5 years. If Gordon is my only option, as it may be, what can I expect? Is a medical retirement possible? What are the possible outcomes of this?

Jason met with a service officer the other day and going to see if we can get a waiver form so we don't have to pay back the money that the army paid us while the VA was....Just lost at words of how he is still tech. in the army on TDRL but won't pay him....

Hi, Jason. I am currently AD Coast Guard diagnosed with Focal-Truncal Dystonia. It is a neuro-muscular disorder, but I didn't see it in the ratings list. How would my disorder be classified, so I can figure out a disability amount? Thank you, George.

jason i have been asking my unit for a MEB, to make a long story short i checked my e-mail to at work and i have discharge orders NGR 600-200 format 510, i do have a VA rating of 60%, but can they do this i never got a MEB,

thanks
Kevin

Hello Jason,

Thanks for your help and this site. I'm a 24.5 year AF vet. I have a va code 5299-5237, however I cannot find that code. Can you help. Also, if I go to the FEB do you represent clients...

Jason,
Whom could help me figure out CRSC application and filling it out. I have no idea.... Do I contact a Service Officer????

Hey i got a question im in this VAAP class and they keep talkin about a180 day window. When does that 180 day window start? And how long after you receive your results do you get separated?

Hi Jason,


Thanks for all of your help in these forums! I psoted an initial blog for my L4-S1 fusion issues. Since then I have had a ROM and I was told that pain is not the main factor. Is this true? I start having pain at the 30 degree mark and my back can physically go no further than 59-60 depending on if they push on it. I was literally sweating from the pain afterwords. It is possible eo email you all of my autocites? I'm trying to make sure the board is looking at each nerve instead of just my Sciata. I should get my NARSUM on Monday and I'd like to post it to make in perparation for the Army lowballing my percentage.

Im really worried about bein found FIT w/ my screwed up back. My IPEB was mailed Jan 8th so ill let you know what happens. My back has 60 degrees flexion: 10 degrees Extension: 30 degrees bending: 60 degrees rotation bilateral

I was put into contact with a guy from American Legion to help me but to tell you the truth I am always finding stuff out before he does. Its very sad. I'm starting to think that my Father is right that I just need to get a Lawyer already before this shit gets much deeper.

Jason,
I wish it was but im afraid its not going well at all. I got paperwork from the VA saying im unemployable due to my military connected disablities yet they find it very easy to give me very low rateings on my issues and to prolong actually granting my IU. I've been out since July 2007 took part in that program where you start your claim before you leave the military and that pretty much I think has everything to do with my claim being messed up. The guy that did my eval. come to find out is a real jack a$$. He put so much stuff in the findings that wasn't true its going to take a couple years it seems to get it fixed with the rate the VA is moving. So I'm back home and my wife and daughter and I have been living out of my parents house because i am not able to work and they don't want to get my claims right even though i started them over a year ago.

Sir, I have questions about how to apply for the CRSC. What documentation do I have to turn in and when do I file for that benefit? I am currently on active duty until next week. I retire on 30 January 2009. Do I file now or do I have to wait to recive my award letter? Thank you very much Sir.

Jason, On my sep physical "Does not qualify for continued service" was Xed out. Now if the board finds me fit what happens then?

So, how was your birthday... Did you celebrate?
