No, only 100% P&T

Very true! Also SSDI recipients are eligible. Edit - whoops, I see @gsfowler mentioned that! Thank you!

Just an FYI. If you are 100% P&T through the VA, you can submit an application to discharge your student loans. The amount will be used as taxable income for this year so do some research before applying. I applied in May and just received word that my loans were discharged by the Department...

Does anyone have a timeline for CRSC? I know the website says 180 days, just looking for personal experience. I applied in March and haven't heard a peep.

Update in signature- officially retired 11 March, VA claim closed 3 April, 100% P&T.

I got a call from Retirement Services and was told to report to her office within 72 hours.

My name hit TRANSPROC yesterday, and I met with my RSO today to turn in the required documents. She stated my orders should be done by COB tomorrow but since it's a training holiday I can pick them up first thing Tuesday morning and start clearing. My official retirement date is 10 March!

Agree, knees are usually 10% each for osteoarthritis. That's what my rating just came back with.

She said to expect to get them in about a week, that's the trend the last few weeks here. The VA MSC agreed with that estimate.

Update: 50% DOD/100% VA PDRL!!!!!!!!!

Update: PEBLO called this afternoon, I'm going in to sign my 199 tomorrow!! She didn't tell me my overall VA %, but my DOD is 50% PDRL. I'm so happy!!!

I'm at Ft. Lee. I'm not sure if it's via email or what, but I'd assume so. It sucks that all the posts aren't on the same page.

That is so weird. I talked to our PAD Chief this morning (Ft. Lee) and he said while the system is indeed still down, they have been able to send and receive cases to/from the PEB. I'm not sure what the holdup is at other posts.
