    SSDI Reconsideration

    I am currently at the tail end of my MEB/PEB phase and am almost out of the military. I have a proposed rating of 100% P&T from the VA. I applied for SSDI in December and was denied. I filed for reconsideration and am still in limbo. I understand that SSDI has different standards for...

    Formal Board Scheduling Time Frame

    I called the PEB office and found out everyone is doing some sort of re-certification training next week. I guess they have not been scheduling their docket because of this.

    When is a MEB appeal a bad thing?

    I am in the MEB phase for 4 different failing conditions. The MEB doctor and NARSUM writers attributed my migraines on alcohol consumption. I don't drink, and there isn't any medical evidence that I've consumed alcohol for years. However there is a lot of evidence to show that I've been...
