Hello all
I haven't met with my PEBLO yet for my official ratings, but the MSC was able to give me an overview of what my rating is. Its currently 90%.
The kicker is, my referred condition, the reason I got boarded, was rated at 0%.
My questions are:
Will this mean that my rating will be 0%DOD, 90%VA? or would the DOD end up looking at any other conditions that are unfitting (assuming there are some with such a high rating) and add that into their overall percentage? I don't yet know the breakdown of the ratings.
If it is 0% DOD 90% VA does this mean that I would get severance pay, none of which would need to be recouped by the VA since the unfitting condition is rated 0%? Instead of getting 10% and getting severance, and having that 10% taken our of your VA disability every month until its recouped?
I've been told that this is best case scenario by a friend. I have also read that when theres such a large difference, it means theres something terribly wrong and youre getting screwed. The whole MEB process is stressful and has taken its toll on me. I just want my family to be ok, and to be able to move on with my life.
What would a 0% DOD, 90% VA mean for me? Would I still get good benefits?
Thanks in advance
