Recently the VA sent a letter to me telling me I should apply for a PDBR review. My question is on the beginning eligibility date.
My date of separation on my DD 214 is March 2001. But I was put on the TDRL list at that time and my final review from the PEB would have been well after Sep 2001. The instructions on the DD form 294 ask for date of seperation but the PDBR info chart says the date is based on
"Medical separation 20% or less where member did not retire finalized between September 11, 2001 and December 31, 2009 (may be extended)."
Could you please provide me guidance on how to fill out my form so my review will be properly looked at? Should I use the date of separation on my DD 214 or find the date my PEB was finalized?
thank you
