Ron, I apoligize for being unclear. I would be a Chapter 61 retiree from the National Guard. I only have 1400 points currently which I think gets a total of 3 years, ten months.

I wanted to jump in with my (hypothetical) numbers to see if I am following the math correctly and/or understand the process. Sorry if I have highjacked/not done enough of my own research... Gross Retired Pay DFAS 4042 Did you receive a DoD disability retirement? yes My DOD disability...

Probably a rare situation but I am curious if anyone has run into this or if there is a regulation I can reference: When the MEB process begins; is the soldier considered "active" in their current billet? Or is their status on "pause"? Are they flagged in any way? For example a soldier has to...

I've been told that the State can essentially bypass giving you an DoD rating if there is no LOD recorded and instead administratively separate you. So if the State "fails" to record an LOD for an injury sustained while on active duty, would this regulation prevent an administrative separation...

Thank you. I'll continue to follow up here as things progress in case anyone else runs into a similar situation.

What is the process of correcting a non-input LOD by my state? or in other words what does "pursue it until I get an LOD" look like (in ELI5 form)? In 2019-2020 I made the submission of LODs that are not now reflecting. How do I submit the past LODs in such a way that the state will truthfully...

Just a follow up: I was able to request a "audit" of my current LODs that the state is tracking. Here is where it stands: all have been put in "administratively closed" status. Some of the issues were reported incorrectly: for example a back injury was reported as "loss of feeling in legs"...

Thank you for posting this. I have had the same question in the past and this helps!

Thank you everyone! I'll follow up once I get further details from my unit

Cool. Is there a physical copy of LODs I can get my hands on? Or does it all only exist on Genesis/some State med system?

Awesome! thank you for your help! I'll follow up here when I get more information from my state about whether they have recorded my LODs or not. If they are recorded, but forgotten, what would be the next step? Is it likely this is a months long process or a years long one?

I believe that my time to be an effective part of my unit is coming to an end. "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" as it were. If I can complete 10 years (February 2024) I'd prefer that since it would allow me to train my replacement. I've been hoping that the MEB process would not...

I'm Army Guard. I kept all of the documentation I submitted, but did not get any official confirmation that things were submitted. I saw a screen with my LOD's in the states Med system and got a call from a state rep a year after the deployment to "follow up" but it was just a question about...

National Guardsman here. I "filed" an LOD while I was active duty for overseas deployment with my state med det before leaving country. This was a number of years ago. I have not heard anything since. How do you go about checking the status of an LOD? I have my submitted paperwork but no...

Did you have a VA Rating prior to your MEB? Were you able to influence the referred conditions at all? yeah, fighting for 30% seems to be a benefit if Tricare is a big deal to you, or if you have a number of combat related injuries that you can qualify to get back the retirement money...

Did you have to make any specific statement for these to be successful, or were the diagnosis, verified location, and medical evidence enough?

Who decided the "referring condition". Is it the individual or the PCM? Or both work together?

interesting. Thanks for the reply!

Is IBS the unfitting determination of your 30% DoD rating?

Thank you Sir! Are there extra steps to take if the injury is not a presumptive but still were incurred according to the CRSC list (instrumentality of war, armed conflict, Hazardous duty)?
