Guard here; I have a non-duty DES package that has been at the PEB since 14 October. I’m wondering if the new AFI 36-2910 is affecting things at the PEB? My unit determined my condition was aggravated in the line of duty, but NGB disagreed. Under the revised AFI, my Wing Commander’s...

I’m not 100% sure, to be honest. My guess is that a formal LOD determination is required if there’s possible misconduct involved in the injury.

So, I was reading through last month’s revision to AFI 36-2910, and there’s a change that is relevant to this conversation. For informal LODs in the Guard, the Wing Commander is now the appointing/approving authority. NGB no longer has any say in the LOD determination (unless you wanted to...

While I’ve been waiting to sort out my MEB, a thought popped into my mind. I was separated from the Air National Guard in 2005 for depression, but never received a DOD rating that I’m aware of. In 2010, I managed to get back in uniform with a waiver, which was needed because my 2005 NGB-22 said...

Has anyone encountered the IPEB board returning a MEB case without action? I’m a dual-status military technician in the Air National Guard, and my long MEB process looked like it was coming to a conclusion. (I’d even received my ratings from the VA: 70% for the unfitting condition, 90% for all...

The process does seem very broken for any Reservists/Guardsmen who aren’t AGR.

1 (800) 682-9701. I had to call a few times. I also had 3 exams; at first they told me 2 of them were still waiting for the providers’ signatures, but later said they were all sent to the VA. I reached out to my MSC a few weeks later, who said they were still waiting for the exams. A final call...
