I've received my PEB findings on June 15 2012 and since I'm was in the Navy I had a choice between 30 or 60 days to separate, for which I chose 60 days. VA has been given the DD 214 on July 16 2012 And I am currently separated as of August 15 2012. When should I expect my finalized rating and...

Thanks a lot for the straight forward answer.

That is true. But I'm not asking for exactly like: "If you have disability A, then you get approved. If you have disability B, you don't get approved". Not looking for that, just asking those of who got approved, what disability did they have? Simple question.

But one concern is, during the IDES process they evaluated my lower back on its problems and range of motion. Knowing that they have that in the record, do I have to go back and go through this entire process again? My problem is: they evaluated me, it was in my record, they treated me for it...

Although my lower back strain AND depression is moderate to severe, due to chain of command reasons, I had to live through with it and did not seek medical attention regularly regarding it. When I got injured on my knee, that was when I was sent on LIMDU, and since I have not been seeing a...

I was wanting to start a thread of "APPROVED" as per SSA guideline of disabilities. I understand it is sometimes a CASE BY CASE basis, but it would be nice to know of which conditions "can" be able to receive SSDI benefits: So far I have seen the following approved for SSDI benefits: 1)...

OK once again to clarify this. The rating % that I'm asking about is VA disability %. Nothing to do with "unfitting condition". Here it is again: 1) Started IDES process with unfitting condition of "knee injury" (10%) 2) During the IDES process, following list of "fitting" conditions were...

Thank you for the reply. Will do ASAP on monday. EDIT: now back to the original question, since this is documented in my medical records can I just accept the finding and go through the process of getting added in after my separation?

To add to that, all the other conditions that I was seen for during the evaluation process even "Allergic Rhinitis" was at least rated at 0%

Though there were no significant radiology evidence, have been treated for a significant time period with Medications (TORADOL, TRAMADOL, LIDOCAINE, VALIUM etc...) and over 6 months of PT. Even if there was no significant radiology reports, shouldn't they have at least rated it at 0%? It was...

Reviewed it, and it was completely left out of the NARSUM. But due to time restrains for job offer, is this something that can be added after separation? or should I just go ahead and appeal it now and wait how long?

I just recently received my PEB findings back, but it is missing "LOWER BACK STRAIN" diagnosis for which they have seen me for during the evaluation process. It hasn't even been rated at 0% Any advice on this? 9 Days remaining before I accept/deny this. Pretty satisfied with the...
