That's what is worrying me about the whole thing. Because the condition I have is sort of listed in in the VASRD but it only covers dislocations, not repeat subluxations. The MEB said they are comping me 10% per shoulder for a rating of 20% army to cover the chronic pain caused by these...

Thank you for that insight, I will be contacting my attorney tomorrow to let her know I am appealing the findings. I have nothing to lose except a few more months of sitting around and waiting. Buys me time to get my family relocated if anything.

I have no idea....I am extremely confused myself. HAH! Well either way, I made my mind up that I will be appealing. I will keep all who are interested informed of the outcome. Stay tuned! :)

I would really like to talk to you steve10 if you are still on the forum. I am going through for the same thing currently and they just offered me 20% for bilateral multidirectional shoulder instability w/ chronic pain. They did not connect my insomnia with the shoulders even though I told the...

Geez! I talked to my PEBLO about it. She told me currently the wait for the fit or unfit finding is 3-4 months from the time it is recieved at D.C., then if an unfit finding is given, the whole process is taking 6-9 months from the time it is recieved in D.C. Mine has only been up there for...

My PEB packet was recieved by D.C. on 6 October. I have one disqualifying condition, and 13 service connected (non combat). I recieved a call from a lady from VA asking me if I could find my entrance physical and report of medical history from MEPS when I enlisted so she could work on my...
