Yeah, I definitely got the feeling he was just trying to push me out the door. I took his word for a few things like this unfortunately. The disability pay is added onto my wages on my W-2s so I will definitely be in a higher tax bracket this year. Didn't make much sense that it would be...

Reading this thread, trying to get some clarity for my situation. I got out OCT 23, my PEBLO told me the taxes taken out for my severance disability pay would be easy to recoup. I'm now seeing this may not be the case. I don't have the combat related code on my DD214 and I'm not sure how to go...

That's the goal. My hope is that with some legal help, maybe through a VSO, I can get it to 100%.

Total right now is 50% but once I submit the Sleep Apnea w/CPAP claim, I hope that goes up as it's a 50% rating. I'll also appeal other conditions to get a ratings increase in hopes of getting to 100% at some point.

@Provis I can't get a straight answer from anyone, so I turn to you; how long after I separate from Active Duty will I continue to receive Tricare? I'm medically separating, already signed the paperwork, as I only received 20%. I ask because, I finally just received my diagnoses of Sleep Apnea...

VARR is 6-8 weeks, months? I would more than likely be doing this option because I don’t have anything new to add for a FPEB. I’m just looking to potentially bump up the ratings to get over that 30% threshold. I speak with my PEBLO Monday to go over the options but this info has been more...

I’ve heard the FPEB has been taking 6+ months to complete. Like many others, I’m ready to be done with the process and don’t know about waiting that much longer just to get Tricare for Life. I imagine a VARR has a shorter timeline though. Will the DOD reevaluate a condition for a higher...

I’m now sort of in the same situation. I just got back my ratings DOD 20%/VA 50%. I was always told that 30% was the threshold for Tricare for life. But I’m now looking into possibly appealing. I don’t know what that entails (Peblo hasn’t been great) but can anyone help with the timeline for...

Ok, that’s what the plan was. Didn’t know if I needed to get out ahead of it or not. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to view the reports. Thanks!

I just completed my C&P exams. Specifically for the general exam, I felt like the Dr. skipped around quite a bit. To the point where I now feel like I forgot to mention a few incidences that would help support my claims and/or explain my injuries to help “paint the picture.” I filled out the...

I just completed my first exam and felt like the Dr. skipped around quite a bit. To the point where I now feel like I forgot to mention a few incidences that would help support my claims. I filled out the medical evaluation form very thoroughly prior to the exam but they didn’t really refer to...
