Something I learned is MEB Timelines will always vary from person to person due to different circumstances. As far as myself I am/was Active Army and went through the Pilot Program. My timeline is as follows March 2010- MEB office recieves my packet from my PA. (Between March 2010 and June...

This is where I began to get confused and thats when CRSC comes into play. My case I was found 70% Army and 80% VA disabled with all being classified and documented as combat related injury. Now from what my peblo told me, I will basically get 70% of my base pay not taxed monthly and I also...

Thank you very much, you have been more help than you know.

Wow, yes one of my conditions is indeed PTSD. As far as the dual payment that is where I was confussed. I just assumed since both Army and VA gave 70% then I would only recieve one monthly payment of 70% of my base pay non taxed. But others have lately been telling me they think it should be...

Hello, Just to give a quick run down of my status I am Active Army with 12 years of service. I am in the VA Pilot program and recieved my ratings today from the PEB. My ratings are 70% from the Army and 70% from the VA and will be on TDRL. All conditions are compensated as combat related. My...

I currently work for my Brigade Ops until my MEB is complete. I work with a few guys who are actually right at the 20 year mark just as you are. On of them got their results but recently appealed because he wants to just stay in. He mentioned something about whatever the determined % was that...

Need advice, in the Middle of MEB just want to make sure I have the process righ Are you currently in the WTU? I don't understand why you wouldn't have a PEBLO at this time but I assume every base is different. Your eval with your Pyschiatrist sounds more like a Psch Addendum which is needed...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you will have to serve your punishment first. Not accussing you of feeling this way but many Soldiers feel their status of going through an MEB makes them invincible to UCMJ actions. As long as you are still serving you still fall under the UCMJ. What more...

Im doing all I can not to lose hope. My packet was received by the PEB OCT 27 and here it is December 16th and still haven't heard a thing. I'm active Army and being MED boarded for PTSD, Both feet, both knees, lower and upper back. Since being put on permanent profile my Battalion sent me up to...

One thing I have learned is that the time frame varies person to person. Sorry to hear about your friend but was he not on a physical profile? I hate to see people put in situations like that. Sad to say now and days I see it a lot.

Yep I agree, the write up does play a big role. I sometimes wonder if the write ups is the cause of some being rated higher than others for the same injuries or illness. A lot guys do get screwed but they have the right to appeal. If they don't appeal then they kind of hurting themselves in...

Honestly I have met quit a few people who have received return to duty for going before an MEB with Diabetes I. I believe type II and III are normally given disabilities. If you have other non fit for duty injuries or illnesses then that may assist your MEB. For instance I know a Soldier who...

Thank you Jason. I had always wondered about this. I would assume it is the same case for wounded warrior receiving SSDI.

Thank you for the information Murph, I am Active Army. I asked the PEBLO what exactly was a preliminary because to that point, I had never heard of it. He said it was the things the Army found me unfit for. So I assume my packet may have been reviewed and has been sent to VA. That was the...

That was super fast. Congratulations. 30% Would have given you disability pay on a monthly basis though. But, if you are happy then that's all that matter right!
