    Received a Decision, now what? Still waiting for instructions.

    First... Congrats on your retirement! I received my notification letter in October and my family and I got our ID cards in February. So it took my branch (US Navy) 4 months to complete that step. I hope this was helpful.

    My Timeline (As of now)

    JGard1974, I hear you, I did the college while working with a wife and 3 kids... Tough is an understatement. PDRL is permanent disability retirement list from branch of service (DOD) so yes you are correct. That is the military medical retirement.

    My Timeline (As of now)

    JGard1974, It is my understanding that ebenefits information is for VA disability not PDBR process. Unlike others, I did not receive anything in between my application and my PDRL letter. I was very surprised when I received my PDRL notification letter. I am still going through the VA appeal...
