    Sabo v. US (PTSD Class Action) Motion for Approval of Final Settlement

    I received my retirement orders from AFPC dated December 8th and in the first paragraph of the letter it makes reference to the December 12th hearing. The lawyers themselves posted that they had met with the judge and were awaiting his signature/decision, on December 12th. Is the AF jumping...

    Is it worth seeking Congressional Intervention?

    How did you call the board? Or do you mean you called the SABR unit at Randolph? I am part of the lawsuit and my case was submitted to the "board" back in September of '09 AND I still haven't heard anything. Now, when I call AFPC, I'm told that all the cases are being put on hold until the...

    Sabo et. al., v US (PTSD Class Action Case)

    I've read the order and have tried to figure out the schedule to determine the timeline. I understand just about everything except the "no sooner than 21 days" and the "no sooner than 30 days" statements. Sounds to me that these two statement put an indefinite period of time on the "final...

    Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) Slides

    Mike, If I understand correctly. I only have one disability which is being compensated for (PTSD at 70%). So since the CRSC office only considers conditions that are combat related then since the PTSD was cause by combat then I should see a 100% CRSC rating? The PEB only rated me for PTSD...

    Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC) Slides

    Does anyone know how the services make the calculations to determine what the percentage will be? I am still waiting for my decision to come back from the PDBR but according to the lawyers (settlement) I will be retired at 70%. I only have one claim that made me unfit, hence the discharge, and...

    Updates on PDBR

    My case has been with the PDBR since August '09, came back in Jan '10 needing more info from the VA. I didn't find out about this until August '10 (no letter no phone call requesting the medical records from the Albuquerque VA). When I did find out I had the medical records sent to me within 3...

    Legal Counsel Has NOT contacted me in almost a month!!!

    Jason, Thommy, I went the PEB route down at Lackland and it was a cluster. I didn't know that I had access to counsel. But there again I was guard so maybe that made a difference. The first, and last, officer I saw was a butter bar who told me that I didn't have enough evidence to warrant...

    Updates on PDBR

    Well I got a call back from the lawyer which was encouraging and discouraging. Discouraging because he was saying that July 15th the courts will come to some decision. Apparently they and them have settled. The problem now is that it will probably be another 9 months, at the outside, before...

    Updates on PDBR

    Sailor80, Sounds like you are in the same boat as I am. My case was started back in July '09 so I guess was one of the first to go both the opt-in route and the DD294 route. At one point I wasn't "registered" in the Sabo case. Then after a system revamp and update I was. The last time I talked...
