14 conditions. a lot of it was jacked up though. The Marines found me unfit for two conditions and the VA only rated one and stated that the other there was no evidence of diagnosis..... its all over my records so I don't know why. but if anything goes smoothly for me its not being done right.

I was found unfit and package was sent to VA on November 14th 2013. As of today Mar 5 2014 I received my ratings. Unfortuantely they were 20% dod and 90%va. I will be rebutting that as they did not find my ptsd as unfitting. I am in Pendleton just so people from around here have a timeline.

That was another persons scenario and he is currently retired at 50% as of 24 June. Surgery was 29 may so I can only assume he was boarded prior to surgery. I know it sounds odd, but it is what it is. Thank you all for the input. I guess i am just worried about the timelines. I have less...

I was implying it to be a potential additional unfit condition. Since I have been covering this and my Pain Management referred me to psych for issues with chronic pain and underlying psych issues since I suffered severe anxiety and panic attacks in the past (Documented but not the reasons for...

I have been dealing with my issues for 11 years now and have found ways to cope with what I have experienced while deployed. However, as I get older, I am finding it harder and harder to suppress the anxiety, fear and anger that occurs as a result of combat stress. As with most people, I...
