ZoZo, This is really good information. Thank you for taking the time to give this detailed reply.

Well, I figured I would post an update to this old post. My VA rep finally got me into the system. I am awaiting C&P exams for now. I appreciate all of the input you guys have done so far. I have a total of 34 disabilities listed on my VA claims, 5 of them chronic diseases (and also sleep apnea...

DVtheTrenGod, While I am no lawyer, and do no know the exact answer to this, I was curious. I found this post made by a guy in the militarytimes forum. The link is here: http://forums.militarytimes.com/showthread.php/7331-Retirees-subject-to-recall-for-UCMJ-Prosecution ------Posted 07-09-2013...

I am glad to hear you got your commander backing you up, and even going with you. I will say a prayer after typing this post that all goes well for you, and goes fast with little anxiety. I hope my little re-told story helps you. God Bless.

JJL1105, I did some reading on this out of curiosity. I have a large EPTS scar on my right leg (~7.5 - 8cm) from a surgery prior, documented, and has caused me trouble due to job nature. Here is what I found, hopefully it helps (and is correct):

Hello Fran0609. I work with a guy who retired 29 yrs in the AF reserves and he is a WG-12 now. I just so happened to have a discussion with him about my MEB, and he said he went through 2 FPEB's himself. The first one (at his 18 year mark) was for migraines. Apparently, he was having them for...

VrodViddy, at what point and how far out did you begin applying for jobs? Also, how did you negotiate the timeline with your employer? If you have a thread link to post (or website or something) and it is easier, that would help too. Thanks poppa.

Thanks AdamRozek. I have been keeping up with your thread and wish the same for you.

Thanks tony292. Even to know starting out 30% for that is great.

Thanks Charlie. Due to my dad being retired military, I grew up as part of the military healthcare system. In particular, Army healthcare. I know that you have to keep getting seen for them to really push anything. Thankfully, I have a great PCM that understands autoimmune conditions, as she...

Good evening. I have a question about VASRD 5002, specifically the chronic residuals. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, and I have strong assumption it will be rated 5002 due to the medication and all of my records saying "active disease". Xrays and MRI's with the reports prove it too. I am not...

Copy that. Took me 4 years of saying "this hurts really bad" and 4 PCM's telling me I'm lying to finally get the diagnosis, and I am JUST NOW getting a referral to pain management. If this has taught me nothing else, it is patience. At this point, finishing school (will grad in Fall '17) and...

Hello 10 Second Bob. First off, thank God you survived death, literally. I had a coworker die on the track during a PT test, and survive, before he found out he had tachycardia. He is a big strong man, with a good diet too. He used to use it as a pickup line, "I died before..." and somewhere...
