Thank you TSgt for this well timed message. You are a much needed source of information and inspiration on this board. You've inspired me to share my PEB experience to the "next guy up"!

Received ratings today 24 February 14 50% DoD 50% VA - Permanent Retirement 19 Sept PEB found unfit for duty Ratings complete on 7 February 14 I Had 1 condition that was unfitting. I didn't want to end my career in the USAF after only 5 years, but I think It would be foolish to fight such a...

I just called the 800 VA number and the rep said that I was rated today. I asked how long until completion, and she said as much as 87 days but it shouldn't take that long. She also asked for my address for when they mail out the package. Hopefully this nightmare is coming to an end soon.

Active lurker here... My case has been at Providence since 19 Sept 13 and in the preparation of decision stage for about the past four months. Finally today 7 Feb my status changed to Pending Decision Approval, this conveniently happened right after I complained to my MSC. I am hoping to hear...

Hello, I originally had all of my c&p testing done in May, then 2 weeks ago the ipeb found me unfit for duty. Fast forward to the present, my PEBLO calls me in and I'm thinking that my va ratings are in, but Lo and behold to my dismay the va wants me to do more tests! I noticed that on been...

how can they justify not awarding the 100% for 6 months since I did suffer from the embolism? Then what are they finding me unfit for? You are correct I need to speak with someone from legal.

Thanks a lot for your assessment. Do I get that 100 percent rating for 6 months regardless of fit or unfit? And if let go will I get a severance payment if under the 30% for residuals? Not really sure how that works. I think at this point I rather just get out because I dont know what caused the...

Psychofficer- I was referred to IPEB for cerebral embolism. At the time the NARSUM was written my mental state was not good enough IMO to perform in my job in intel. Since then I would say Im back to normal. The VA C&Ps checked for cognition and fine motor skills impairment, but they really...

Ceilingfan- I am not currently doing my job (AFSC). I got sick during a short tour and when I left the hospital the AF decided to sent me to the nearest base to my hometown for rehab. I've since been on "patient squadron" status doing administrative stuff around the hospital. As it turns out...

Hi, 4 days after receiving the anthrax vaccine I was hospitalized with a stroke at 28 years old. The military and the referred neurologist said theres been "no direct evidence" the vaccine caused the stroke, they also don't have a cause either. At first they said i had a blood clotting disorder...

In December I had a stroke while in South Korea. The Korean doctors gave me a 30% chance to live. A major portion of my brain has no activity. I have processing issues. Blood tests show a positive for lupus anticoagulant and I have been told I have to be on Coumadin for life if I test positive...
