UPDATE: 25 June 2021: Received big brown envelope w/retirement orders, certificate, and DD 214 amendments (original and sheet listing amendments...original not changed) Attached was a list of things to do and advice to contact an RSO to process forms I have to submit to DFAS. What a process...

Hey, out of curiosity, how long after your PDBR approval did you get new orders/DD 214? I got my letter stating I was granted medical retirement at the end of Feb '21 but nothing since. Not sure if/who I should contact to get the ball rolling. Thanks, Crowley

Hodge, It lists results of other PDBR cases. When you apply they assign a case # to your review. If/when you email them to check case status they will generally include this # for you to have as a reference of your review. This is the link... https://boards.law.af.mil/AF_PDBR.htm

I don't know either. I have yet to receive any other information regarding next steps. From what I understand they have to have DD 214 updated and then send orders for DEERS and ID's? Who knows. More waiting it seems.

Hey Jake, I'm probably the least qualified to understand what that was about, lol. I didn't encounter that in my decision letter. MAYBE, if that particular condition wasn't part of the original medical conditions included in the med board they wouldn't look to reclassify it? That's only a guess...

Welcome Slick I've just lurked around here mostly but to answer your 2nd question...I think there's no predictable time frame...unfortunately. 3. I got my approval the day before you (25 Feb) and it was signed 29 Oct 2020. No idea why there was such a delay. I too forgot about it and only have...

Jake, the letter informing me of decision had explanation of their findings and two signature pgs.

Are these postings all the from the same person? I can't tell if you created 3 accounts or if I am talking to 3 different people! Lol. I don't know either. All I know is I'm the original poster! I have no idea about the other two comments! Thank you for your input!

Thank you, Keebs. I have all of my records from the original review. Is that what I would need to send in? Or is that something they would have on file? I guess it wouldn't hurt to send it in though. Either way I think I'll get the process started. Like you said I have nothing to lose. Also, is...

Hello everyone. Wondering if I should even bother with PDBR review based on my situation. During the PEB in 2004 I was found unfit based on "Chronic uncomplicated nonradicular low back pain"- given 10% and "chronic bilateral hip pain-given 0%, med boarded in June 2004. The VA rated those same...
