Thanks for the advice, when you went to talk to your attorney did they need any more evidence or what kind of paperwork did they need? Im currently on leave far far away from the WTU so i just want to know what I should start trying to gather in order to submit a VARR. According to my C&P exams...

Heres my situation, I was injured in a training accident about a year and a half ago, which resulted in the onset of seizures. I was later referred to the MEB and was transferred to a WTU. In November I signed my NARSUM for my seizure disorder. My army attorney said I should get 100/100 since I...

I was just wondering if you made it to a CBWTU while on active duty. I am going to be PCSing to Ft. Sam from Germany next month to go through my MEB and I’m trying to get transferred to a CBWTU near my HOR. I have generalized epilepsy and suffer from seizures every 2-3 weeks and would like to...

Five months is very fast. thanks for the information.

I'm looking for the same answer, did you have to repay anything when you left the military?

Just found out that im PCSing from Europe to Ft. Sam Houston to go through my MEB. Can anyone give me an idea of how long the process is taking from Ft. Sam. Thanks

I am also MEBing from Germany and I am waiting for my orders back to the states. How was the process back to the states and did they take into account your top three picks for where to PCS? thanks for the info!

I just got issued my P3 yesterday and have yet to get my IDES brief. After I receive my IDES brief, I’m told I will come up on orders in 90-120 days and then PCS somewhere back in the states. However, I have heard there is some speculation about whether or not they are still sending people...

Oh wow, i didnt know Voc Rehab would pay for graduate school. Is there limitations to Voc Rehab or where can i find out about this program? (besides just googling it) Thanks!

Does anyone know how to prolong the PEB process? I am just getting ready to start my MEB tomorrow due to seizures. However, I was hoping to extend my MEB/PEB process since I’m an Officer, I want to take full advantage of Tuition Assistance without having to take on additional years in service...

Does anyone know how to prolong the PEB process? I am just getting ready to start my MEB tomorrow due to seizures. However, I was hoping to extend my MEB/PEB process since I’m an Officer, I want to take full advantage of Tuition Assistance before I get out. My injury has resulted in a huge...

Has anyone read anything about how this sequestration will affect the PEB process? I know where I'm at, a lot of the doctors are civilians so I wonder how this will impact things. If anyone finds any information on this, can you please post it here. Thanks

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me in regards to finding a service dog. After a training incident I was diagnosed with Epilepsy and I currently have generalized seizures about every 2-3 weeks. After a seizure I am usually unconscious for about 15-20 minutes and the last few seizures I’ve...

I was wondering if the Army/VA must use the ratings that are in the VASDR or do they have any room to give their own percentage recommendations. For example, in my case I have epilepsy and I checked in the VASDR and it would appear that I should be entitled to an 80% disability rating due to the...

Thanks for all the advice. One last question, what do you do on a normal day in a WTU? I'm finalizing my paperwork to get transferred to my local WTC soon (hopefully my unit will let me) and I'm just curious what I can look forward to each day. Thanks, Kevin H.

I am currently on medication for epilepsy and every time I have a seizure I tell my doctor about it he changes my meds again to something new which up to this point hasn’t been working. As my wife tells me, (since I never remember my seizures) they are getting a little worse in severity but I...

I was wondering what was the results of your PEB, i have epilepsy and my doctor is giving me a shot to stay in the army by calling my epilepsy "alternated states of consciousness" just like you posted. I am still debating if i want to get an MEB. i have 1 grand mal about every 6-7 weeks and its...

So this might seem like a dumb question but is the vsdr percentage the percentage one can expect from the army when MEBing or is that just for VA after getting discharged? Thanks, Kevin H.

How long after the PEB findings come back until your out of the army?
