    Can I use the rest of my Montgomery GI bill and then get another year of 9/11 GI bill

    I have 16 months of CH. 30 benifits left from my first enlistment and I was wondering if when those are gone I could apply for another year of 9/11 GI Bill from my second enlistment? I was wounded in Iraq in 2004 and I have used Voc. Rehab so I don't have that option. Does anyone know of any...

    I got a random call from my great VA rep in Cleveland who told me that I had been granted my PDBR? Somehow the info went to her first before it made it to me. I then got a application from DFAS without requesting it for concurrent reciept, I am in the process of filling this out now. I sent my...

    Once the file makes it to DC, is there anyway to follow the status of the claim from that point? When you call Texas, they say you will know before they do? I have a hard time believing that there is no POC in DC. At no other point in any claim with the Army or the VA have I had this little...

    To all of my fellow Vets out there, don't stand for that BS from the PDBR that they are waiting on your records. I am very close to my VA person, she is great, she told me that there had not been any request for my records. The PDBR said that they had sent out multiple request for my medical...

    Good to hear that things are moving forward. I have almost forgot about the PDBR, it was so long ago that I submitted my packet. Looking forward to hearing what people are going to find out.:rolleyes:

    That is some good news. Any idea when the PDBR will start to make decisions on claims? I have 5 years of active time and 6 years of National Guard time, my severance was only based on the original formula, can I reapply to have my severance upgraded to the full 11 years? Thanks for any...

    Has anyone recieved any type of final decision with the PDBR yet? I am surprised that not one case has been determined, seems like a long time to have zere decisions made. Is thier a legal snag maybe? Any updates from anyone!:confused:

    Physical Disability Board of Review Update

    As far as I know there have been no decisions made for anyone who applied to the PDBR. I makes me wonder if they are not sure on how to make these decisions? I would think that the very first people who applied would have heard something by now? I wonder if maybe there is some legislation that...

    How long has it been now? I am surprised that not one person has any type of answer. I see that as really good because they are really taking the time needed or really bad because they have no idea about what is going on and they are lost. :confused:

    I challenge everyone to reach out and let the media know what is going on with the PDBR and wounded vets in general. With the economy in its current state, the war(s) are back page news now. Don't let people forget! We need help from the VFW, DAV, etc. with the PDBR. This is a huge chance to...

    I am there with you as well. I was wounded in Iraq by a mortar and then spent ten months in med-hold in the middle of no where(Natl. Guard). I was then put on TDRL after I flew to Ft. Lewis to appeal my MEB. I then lost my TDRL 2 years later after a 5 minute meeting with a airforce contract...

    Have any of my Army brothers or sisters recieved ammended set of orders pretaining to your severance Pay? The orders are really generic and the POC on the letter that came with the orders did not have my records and couldn't tell me anything. I have called all over the country without any...

    Every group that I contacted had no idea of what I was talking about, I felt like I was the service officer. I know that this is a new direction for the DOD to actually to look at the VA decisions so we are the pioneers for this process. Because we are at the forefront, we must stick together...

    If I get my retirement back with the PDBR, will it mean more money or will the Va take back what the Army pays me? I had just over 10 years in when I was wounded in combat in Iraq. Thanks for the feedback.
