It wasn't severance, just last paycheck with leave; medically retired. I was paid on 20OCT23.

I can tell you from experience. As a SWO, no matter how good of a letter you get for retention from the chain of command, you will not be found fit on those meds. They need us to be deployable on a ship. Just drag out the timeline as much as you can to reach 20!

My last day was 30Aug, still haven't been paid for leave yet. Retirement pay started today, still waiting on VA.

I am curious as well. My last day was August 30th. I received my final paycheck but am still owed from selling leave. With the government shutdown looming, I was curious if I would get my first retirement check and leave $ in October.

Asthma biologics update...first off, I made it to Retirement finally...30Aug23! I ended up having another anaphylactic reaction to Dupixent and will be trying Tezspire next week. Hopefully it goes well. Also, no luck getting VA to recognize immunomodulators/monoclonal antibodies as...

Thank you!

Both conditions were developed while deployed....but the findings did not show combat related since I was not diagnosed until I returned from deployment and went to the hospital to be tested.

60DoD/80VA

Morning! First off, still waiting on attorney and only have a couple days left to sign/accept findings... I was refered for 2 conditions One was 60% Other not rated, found fit (but doesn't make sense why) Being over 20, should I even fight this? Retirement is capped at longevity, so I don't...

My DoD rating for asthma was 60%. Biologics played no roll in ratings as predicted. I hope this helps other folks who are questioning how Biologics affect VA ratings for Asthma.

Finally got the call. 60% DoD /80% VA

The rep said it was still under review and would not share rating information

I am calling the hotline now. I will let you know what they say. The PEBLO office is close, but my rep is a teleworker out of DC.

Nothing....Peblo never answers emails or calls. Been reassigned to 4 or 5 different VA reps and now I am waiting for a new attorney as well....

I am a bit jealous, no one has contacted me yet regarding my findings. My case closed 26Apr. Very frustrating, I have contacted everyone I can think of and no one can tell me why haven't been contacted yet.
