You are probably right. I guess that is why I put the question out there so I could get advice on the best way forward, which is legal counseling who are SMEs in this. During my legal counseling when going through the PEB, my lawyer said that going TDRL is typically the initial step of being...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have searched all over this site for relevant information and this is the closest thread I could find. When you go in for your TDRL re-examination, is it processed as if you are going through a PEB again? Does it go back to D.C. and re-evaluated by a line...

I figured. Thanks for the input!

I can understand it... hoping the best for ya!

Yeah. The next step was to decide 1 of 4 options: Accept the findings - normal time to discharge/retirement, Accept findings and submit a request for Permanent Limited Duty to service headquarters, Request a one-time VA rating reconsideration, or demand/request a formal hearing.

Becoming an MD is a pipe dream at the moment. I have worked strenous work hours in the past as a firefighter/EMT. Working and living onboard a ship in a Surface Warfare Officer capacity was the main problem for me. My apologies! I wrote this post in haste before I had to be somewhere and...

I have been reading this site for a few hours now and plan on following it for the remainder of my process. Does anyone have any experience with getting found fit and then switching to a different branch? I am in the Navy and my doctor initiated my MEB process with an IPEB recommending me...
