Yes it is quick as hell. I'm grateful for the chance to go through it there. A buddy of mine (in the same company) squeaked out with 100/100 in just over a week longer than me. I'm pulling for you bud.

Received final compensation packet today (August 6th) effective August 1st. I was extremely fortunate that my case went so smoothly. Hit the button for a fully developed claim on July 18th when I officially hit retirement and checked in once a week for progress. 1st paycheck should hit Sept 1st...

Mine did exactly what yours did last Thursday. Had ratings by Monday and it still says gathering evidence. That website is frustrating. If you're at Hood then you're in luck. They seem to process at an incredible speed. I started beginning of February. Terminal leave starts mid June.

DOD 60% and VA 60% PDRL! I knew a couple of the other claims weren't going to stick but I'm happy with this. Next week starts the 90 day clock and I'm ready for the mayhem that may come. Thank you guys so much for being such an excellent resource. You've made this a (mostly) painless process...

Guess which idiot forgot to include a mailing address on his Ebenefits account? Yep, this guy! Have to drive an hour to pick up notification letter but I deserve it.

Could you guys take a look at my these sections from my NARSUM and see if anything stands out? I'm supposed to sign this thing tomorrow and I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. 4. DA 3947 BLOCK 13A DIAGNOSES 1) Lumbar DDD with herniation does not meet retention standards IAW AR...

Hey gang. Got my NARSUM Back this week. It's all Greek to me and can't make heads or tails of it. Is there any section that I should post so that I can get some help making sense of it?

Who told you that you would get an ADSEP? I know at least in the Army that is not beneficial to the soldier at all. Kinda like a "TYFYS now go home". Speak to your primary care manager and voice your concerns. If he/she blows you off then switch PCM if you can. An MEB would be the best course of...
