I am AFRES too and it's been the same for me. I am in the middle of a WWD determination rather than a MEB. It's been 5 years and just finally getting movement. Nobody seems to know anything. I expect I will be retiring within the next 6 months due to my issues. I have over 20 so I can...

If you can you should see if you can do LDES just to avoid the VA headaches of potentially reducing you again.

The concern some have in this scenario is do you want the VA to re-examine your 100% rating and possibly reduce it. It might be better to just retire if you have over 20 years.
