Sorry for the confusion but I was asking for suggestions before I went to my FPEB but my lawyer called today with the TDRL (30%) which I accepted. I don't have to go to my formal hearing anymore but thanks in advance unless you have suggestions for TDRL.

I'm getting closer to my formal hearing at the DC Naval Shipyard. My lawyer is Major Sloane and she has contacted me on numerous occassions for my information. Im ready to get this over. I have already been found unfit for rupture achillies tendon (20%) and i'm adding my back DDD (20% VA) and...

I'm dealing with this now because my Medical Officer never completed my addendum so I have to wait until I receive my findings and ask for the PEB to reconsider a review of my back and hip but it was already rated by the VA @20/10%. I'm in the Marine Corps so it might be a little different when...

OK I was concerned about my package so I contacted the PEB and they gave me my DoD rating 20%. I got boarded for DVT (post) 7121 swelling in leg, pain, compression stocking and elevation with little to no relief, rupture achilles tendon left foot and Bilateral hallux limitus. Now the PEB gave...

I was able to sit down with the VA and he pulled my report because we had so many questions. I got 20% DoD and 80% VA. Now I got boarded for DVT(post) 0%, rupture achilles tendon 20% and Bi Lateral Hallux Limitus 10% each foot. Now they removed the DVT and hallux limitus and made it a VA...

ok I got rated 20% rupture achilles and 0% (7121) DVT, post. Once I receive the full report I will post it for you. The rating for the DVT is incorrect so I will appeal and request for FPEB.

OK just left the VA office and had them pull up my package because I had some questions of concerns. Now I got MEB for DVT, Rupture Achilles and Bi Lateral Hallux Limitus. DoD rating me 20% for the achilles tendon rupture, 10% for each foot and 0% for the DVT which rates 10% because the code...

Thanks. Yes I will and I'm waiting to see my package because I only received 20% for DVT (post) still have pain in leg, where compression stocking, special orthos and pain is not relieved with elevation, rupture achilles and bilateral hallux limitus with lose hardware.

OK I got my findings in 20% DoD and 80% VA. Once I get a copy I will post the write up. Also I will request FPEB because of MO not adding the addendum, so I got the MO to do it today because it includes injections into my back and hip that was ineffective and cause me to go to the ER. I have...

OK I was informed by PEB that I was rated at 20% DoD. They pretty suggested that I try to get one of my claims added to bump up my rating. Now my NARSUM included rupture achilles, DVT and Bilateral hallux liim. My MO was suppose to complete my addendum for my back and my hip. Well found out...

I also developed a DVT after surgery from a rupture achilles and I am awaiting my ratings. I took the coumadin and had to beg for a compression stocking. I was on the blood thinners for four months and in December 11 there was no sign of the clot. I still have a lot of pain in that leg and it...
