I receive CRSC and VA disability at the same time because my injuries were combat related. I received my TDRL retirement until my VA disability started, then I had to choose one or the other. I choose disability because it was more money. Once I had a VA rating I applied for CRSC and when...

I just received my orders for my first TDRL reevaluation (was placed on TDRL Aug 2008). I have three appointments scheduled at the end of this month at Madigan Army Medical Center (Joint Base Lewis Mcchord). The appointments are with a psychiatrist, a forensic psychiatrist and then with an MEB...

So, my husband is going to meet with his WTU chain of command tomorrow regarding being QMB while in the MEB. Our question is how should he approach the subject of his orders? It seems signifigant that he falls under the WTU for administrative purposes while on title 10 orders and that the...

Thanks for all your help and responses, we appreciate all the suggestions. We looked at his orders and it does say that he falls under the WTU for admin, UCMJ and pay, so that is one avenue we will check into. He has also requested a meeting with his 1SG and commander at the WTU next week and...

They did tell him when he comes off orders he will be discharged, but in the two years since the board and the year (approx) of treatment he still has left, he was told he is not eligible for promotions or reenlistment. So, even though the discharge will not be implemented until he demobilizes...

Sorry this is so long… I have a question about my husband's situation which we have researched and cannot find an answer to and hope someone else has some experience with. He is a mobilized Army National Guard SFC, assigned to a WTU for treatment of injuries incurred in Iraq. While going...

I was retired at 30% last year (Sept 2008) for migraines and TBI so I can tell you about my experience. For the informal board I was rated at 0% because I had no documented migraines except two ER visits over the past year. During the formal board I had a letter from my neurologist that stated...

That's a good question. At Fort Lewis WTU, they are allowing active duty retirees to take permissive TDY, but National Guard/Reserve soldiers retiring (PDRL) are not allowed permissive TDY. What that means is that an active duty PVT with just a few months in the army who is being permently...

I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place, but anyone with knowledge or experience on this please respond. Earlier this week I received 30% TDRL from FPEB and I accepted the rating. My question is who will process my retirement orders? I am a National Guard soldier that was...

I had my formal PEB today and the results are 30% TDRL for post concussive migraines as a direct result of combat. I have to look up the exact dates for my timeline, but I was referred for an MEB in January and had my formal board this morning, so all things considered, my board process moved...
