I believe it, I had a bad injury and was told to go ahead and submit for retirement since I was never going to be fit for duty. I was immediately told I wasn't eligible for a medical board because I was over 20 years and had submitted for retirement. I hit the 18-month window the same time I...
I have been fighting to get any info from the Jacksonville PEBLO. I have resorted to just going into the office and demanding information. Zero returned phone calls/voicemails for over two months so I don't give them the opportunity to disappoint anymore. Last time I went in my VA claim had...
I am at the step where I signed my SMC and am waiting for legal to get back to me to discuss my findings. Is this when I should learn what my proposed ratings are? My PEBLO is awful at communicating so not holding out hope he lets me know informally. I have a pretty straightforward case...
Has anyone else been denied medboard due to an approved retirement? I can't find the reference that says I would be informally denied (as in not eligible to be routed for consideration). Long story short I have 14 months before retirement date, but I aggravated a significant back injury that...
I think I will focus on the earlier retirement option via medboard because the 10 YCS doesn’t apply if retirement is recommended due to medical. Hopefully I can turn the 18 month wait for regular retirement into 12 or less. I know the process takes a while but wouldn’t getting the VA rating...
I’m over 20 years active so that requirement is met. It sounds like I wouldn’t get a CH 61 retirement but it would allow me to retire slightly earlier. I just don’t like being left in limbo for another 18 months. Collecting the paycheck is cool but job satisfaction and increasing my...
I have the option to either medboard (will be found unfit) or just get tucked away and retire regularly. Definitely gonna be 100% VA rated but PERS can’t give me an explanation on the less than 10 YCS so everyone is trying to just stash me away until I meet regular retirement September of next...
I’m in a weird situation and have tried numerous times to reach out to PERS but to no avail. In short, I’m an LDO with over 20 years and over 8YCS currently on my second LIMDU period. Will not be fit for duty after this but my PCM wants to return to duty with limitations and allow me to reach...
