@oddpedestrian Thank you for the reassurance on my research! Definitely a relief to my nerves. I actually just filed a new claim for everything earlier this week and submitted all of my paperwork. I am assuming they wait to process until after a discharge, but it says it is in the “evidence...

Hey everyone, I wanted to follow-up on my original post form August. (And thank you to @oddpedestrian for the prior help!) As of this week, I finally received a final decision from my Dual Processing package that went to ASN. They signed off on an ADSEP instead, no comments or anything...

It definitely is a lengthy process... similar situation here. It is very difficult, trying to keep my head up as well. I too did a Congressional Complaint, but it was worthless and nothing came of it - not even information. May I ask, are you enlisted? Why is CNP the separating authority? Did...

Thanks man! My exams are almost 1 year old soon... hope it will still be okay!

@kobralead Thanks for posting how it turned out for you. I think I will likely end up with the same. I am submitting a resignation in lieu of adsep... General discharge. Glad to hear I'm not in it alone! For your VA claims, what process worked for you to avoid having to go through all the...

Really appreciate the reply. I figured the BCMR would be that way... which sucks. The risk is high to not resign at the offered discharge though and possibly just get pushed into an OTH. At least with the General I can still get all the same VA Benefits I would have had through IDES (minus GI...

Kind of going through similar situation. Your response I think sounds like mine... is it the same if you get a General (under honorable) via "resignation in lieu of adsep processing"? I am assuming so... only bar to benefits I see on the VA website is if you resign "for the good of naval...

Received my "Notification" for initiation of administrative separation, as a probationary officer, this week. Intention is to just submit a "qualified resignation" in lieu of ADSEP processing this week. I am not entitled to a BOI, unless they reversed course after an OTH, which would be horrible...

Question: Does anyone have a recommendation for legal assistance that could review my drafted letter, prior to submission to ASN? I already emailed Jason Perry, but I am not sure if he is available. Thank you!!

@Chalk22 Thanks for the insight. I figured as much, it just seems like most JAGs offered by the military aren’t as familiar. My intention is to write a short personal statement asking for Medical Sep (which PEB finalized) and hope for the best. I’m wondering what the timeline looks like...

Appreciate the insight @oddpedestrian ! I have done a lot of reaching out lately... There seems to be confusion from most people. My IDES JAG/Counsel says they "don't have experience with it" and to reach out to Defense services. (My opinion is that it is more of a disability legal issues to...

Thanks! I did search and read some. I didn’t see many with final resolutions posted or details of how they got relief. — I also know the instructions changed as of late 2019.

Thanks for the response. I have gone to the free JAG defense counsel, but they are not helpful at all. They say the situation is “unique” and they don’t have experience. So, I’ve taken research into my own hands and worked on drafting a letter as my response. I just wondered if anyone else had...

Hello Everyone, I have followed these forums for about 6 months as I went through the PEB process myself. Thank you for all of your amazing support on here. I am currently going through my process and have a few questions regarding my situation. I am wondering if anyone has any insight or...
