Jason, I answered a question you asked me on my thread titled "Fit for Duty Evaluation, National Guard" but didn't get a followup reply from you. Please reply at your convenience. Thanks, Gomez

Jason,

I just received word the other day that the Air Force Command was denying my HIV and Clinical Depression LOD's. I am appealing them. Will the VA still help me with blood test and meds even if I don't win the battle with the Air Force on these LOD's?

Jason, did I just see your post from April 15th 2008 refering to a way to get around the statute of limitions from the IRS to get my $5500 back in taxes that the DFAS should have never took out? I found out by a VA letter in 2007 or 08 filed my 1040X and got a "to bad, so sad" certified letter from the IRS. I am ready to write Senator Session about this. Can you help.

Jason,
I have received a recommendation for TDRL.
-CAT 1:Post Lyme Syndrome w/ Residuals 1). Chronic Fatigue & 2). Chronic Pain.
-CAT 2:Obstructive Sleep Apnea
-Compensible %: 50

My question is the findings of CAT 1 are so vague and do not fractionally equate to the miserable health that I am in. One significant <specific> problem is the 14 month headache that has yet to go away. I still have not regained full function of the right side of my face which presents eating, drinking, and sight problems. What about the cognitive degradation with concentration and memory? Is this vague finding a blanket for all of my problems? There is also no mention of the psychological problems from what a mental health provider told me was PTSD (11 years in 18+ TDYs & 5 deployments, 2 in Iraq). Really let down considering I'm only an 11 year SSgt. (Can't provide for family on that amount for starters). Please advise as Lyme is so misunderstood.

Hi Jason. I was wondering if you received the PM I sent to you? Please let me know if you have had a chance to look at my issue.
Thanks

hi.............i want to send my case to the AF review directed by DOD,,,,,,,re combat PTSD and denial of mil benefits by the PEB abd the BCNR,in March of this year,,,,,,do u have the link or adress..pls advise and TY

Jason, Happy fourth

I just got my IPEB results back this Thursday. The board came back with the following disposition: Discharge with severance Pay at 20 percent disability rating. My condition required that I get spinal fusion surgery. This in turn led to my MEB. I 13+ years in the AF and currently stationed at DM, AZ. As any other service member I would of liked to retire. This also concerns me because it also affects my family.

I was shocked to see what the board came back with. My biggest concern is that I will loose my retirement benefits.

Is this the standard and if I decide to challenge the IFPEB what should I expect?
Would the outcome be the same, worse or better in the Formal board process?
What questions should I be asking?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Sir, I am in the same plight as most people here who are dealing with their incap pay. I was released from active duty to my reserve unit. When my unit knew about this, they were amazed why I was released and was not kept on active duty and get treated at Ft Benning. But they didnt do anything so I insisted on having the incap pay instead since I cant go back to my civilian job at the post office due to the nature of my injury. My query now is, I have been offered for separation (early opt) from the post office. If I opt to get separated, will my incap pay continue?

No not trying to change MOS. Im mariied wife lives in Minnesota, we have a house snd she goes to school there. Ive been renting for really cheap witha friend down in NC beacuse of the cheap rent thats why the wife moved back home beacuse i was suppose to be out by now. The friend i rent from has orders at end of july to texas so i can no longer live here and cant afford two house payments. I have 4 to 6 months before my med board comes back with 6 months till eas. Im trying to goto a duty station back in MN because im no longer needed in the infantry in NC. I eas less than 6 months also. Just trying to get much info as possiable and who to talk to. There is gotta be a job i could do back home as active duty like MEPS or IandI.

No not trying to change MOS. Im mariied wife lives in Minnesota,

hi Jason, I am in the process of writing a rebuttal statement to the Navy PEB Board. do you know what names should go in the to block or have an example of a rebuttal statement? thanks for all your help.

Just wanted to say thanks for this site! It and the folks on it have been an invaluable resource in this most trying time. I felt more comfortable leading a squad of dismounts then I do flapping through all this TDRL/VA mumbo jumbo till I found this site. Once agin, Thank you!

Sir, I'm currently being "Force Shaped" by the Navy for "Failure to Complete training". I was assigned surface warfare out of the Naval Academy but shortly after reporting onboard my ship I was given a PEB for a injury and subsuquent medical diagnosis I received at the Acadmey. I was deemed Fit by the board, but unfit for sea duty. I've been bounced around in shore assignements and was recently given a continuity board based on not completing my training in becoming a qualified surface warfare officer. I could not do so because I could not go to Sea, so its a Catch 22. Do I have any options? The PEB is now over 3 years old. Thank you.

what about a career planner? Im just keep geting stuck in grunt units and im never deploying again i just dont understand why i couldn't move, im kinda waste of space lol.

I have a question about a med board. Im three half years into my four year contract with marine corps. as active duty grunt. My med board just was sent up last week to DC. I was told it gonna take over 4 months to find out my findings. Because im so close to eas and non deployable for medical reasons and beacuse i only have six months left. Can i go TAD or PTAD or move to some other type of duty station back at to my home state were there is MEPS, I&I units and other active duty jobs, also i have two VA hospitals which would help me out even more with all my doctor appts. thanks

you can email me at meyer8484@yahoo.com

Jason-

Do you have a copy Dr Chu's memo and attachments dated Oct 14, 2009? Thanks.

Question on concurrent pay.

I am in a strange and what I believe unique position.

I have 28yrs total with the last 17yrs active guard AGR. for the past 11 years I have been in a special unit called a
Civil Support Team (weapons of Mass Destruction)
they are F/AD II designated anti terrorist teams
I received special duty pay for Hazardous duty for it was always we may be CONUS but we are front line as in 24hr on call 1hr response time for national response.(lived on 1 hr response the last 11 years) training is high intensity,what most would consider training for combat, everything from handling live/hot chemical/bio/rad to hanging out of helicopters and buildings upside down, marine core martial arts to include live fire CQB and SWAT training, trained to fire weapons in level A suits.


can I or do I need to hire a lawyer in order say my injuries are combat related training? or who in the process would decide this?


Thank you
MSgt Ron

Thanks for responding. I have another issue at the moment. I requested a formal hearing last month, but my DES is 30 April. I was briefed that I can't drop retirement orders while going through the MEB process. The Guard Bureau has not extended me and is trying to release me to the state. This will cause me to become a traditional guardman (DSG) versus title 10 STAT Tour Member. Can they do this to me? I'm in panic mode now

Jason as you can it has been several months since getting back to you. As of our last message nothing has gone forward. I have contacted the DIV SUR several times over the past 9 months and since NOV she has continually told me she is just waiting on appts to be scheduled. Is this normal? If not I am considering contacting SEN Mccain my AZ rep. I had my surgery last June now 4 for my sinus and am already scheduled for another this year. What can I or should I do to force this issue. Aside from a Congressional i dont know what else to do. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

As for the message below the DIV Sur states my packet is complete and we are just waiting on appts. just to clarify

Please let me know what else can
