Do you have an approved LOD for this condition? If you don't you could have a big problem. Even if your state is not as screwed up and vindictive as California is (what state are you in?), NGB does not follow the rules either. If you are positive your case is getting sent to MEB and PEB then...

Um by driving me crazy and making me waste hours and hours and hours writing legal memos to dipshit generals who clearly can get away with anything. It is quite stressful do be doing such things when one is simultaneously rearranging DNA or splicing jelly fish genes into bacteria, so that they...

Florida, The stated goal of VocRehab is "suitable employment" not simply to get a veteran back to work. "Suitable employment" is defined by the VA as "Employment that does not aggravate the Veteran’s disabilities, is stable, and is consistent with his or her pattern of abilities, aptitudes...

The VA dental plan (VADIP) is open to all Veterans and CHAMPVA beneficiaries. Any veteran can use the program but dependents are not eligible unless enrolled in CHAMPVA. http://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/VADIP/VADIP_fact_sheet_02-18-15.pdf One can go to the special Metlife or Delta Dental...

wawarvet, I suggest that you immediately contact the USPFO and get all of your attendance codes. Or alternatively FOIA/privacy request them. The Guard lies so freakin much it is hard to deal with anything without the actual facts in front of you. The Guard stole my rank for unsatisfactory...

I ETS in a matter of days after demanding LODs and INCAP since 2011, and after successfully thwarting an attempt by the state surgeon to "non duty medical" discharge me. But I haven't gotten a dime in INCAP, and my LODs have been rotting. This despite three congressionals! Yet my ETS orders were...

I'm 100% permanent and total. I have in the past successfully forced the VA to send me to an outside high end cosmetic dentist for thousands of dollars in periodontal deep cleaning as well as teeth cleaning and a filling. This was before the big scandal about wait lists and the recent law...

Do you have memos from other services?

I knew you would love it! I don't know when the DODI was changed though (from where the Army Reg. cites its authority). I bet when we do more FOIAs, we will discover a memo that completely clarifies that VA pay cannot be deducted. And if we don't find it, then let's ask Army JAG to explain...

P.S. I find it hilarious that the Guard is so incompetent that: a) they tried to keep a phone number from me by redacting it, and b) didn't do a very good job.

I'm glad you did hijack this thread. I've actually come across your memo before on these forums, and it inspired me to obtain the attached memo through FOIA. I just got my hands on it in the last month. I think these forums are achieving the kind of collaboration that Jason is most likely hoping...

You are making so much sense, and yet look at all the difficulty Daniel Dresen is having. He is VA rated for a condition that the Guard found to be Not in the Line of Duty, and yet he is still struggling in court and can't get before the ABCMR. So in other words, it's only a slam dunk if one...

"... but when the government disagrees with the government?" Ha! Every once in awhile someone on this forum puts out such a great line, I actually end up keeling over in laughter. Today it was you.

Thanks for your opinion. I don't want to let the issue go for resilience purposes. Both the VA and Social Security have messed with my benefits in the past (due to their errors), and I want to make it harder for them to arbitrarily hurt me. In other words, I want to limit the future possibility...

I have a 100% VA, so back pay/near future pay is not at stake in this question. About a gagillion years ago, VA denied one of my claims and I filed an NOD. Fast forward a gagillion years and the Statement of the Case just arrived in my mail box. So here is the question: Should I file the...

Your INCAP memo is well thought out and written. It seems you have an inquisitive mind that demands justifications for what the Guard does. So I am very confused as to why you caved so quickly on the waiver. Speaking only for myself, I would never have signed that, and I would revoke that waiver...

Florida, you are so sharp! I love it! Indeed, I did forget to mention Tier 1 in my post. Thank you for responding in a way that makes sure everyone can benefit. And thank you for being my psychologist for the day. When I talk on the phone with these high level Guardmembers, I can literally feel...

So a couple of days ago an NGB IG told me that INCAP pay is in no way related to pay grade or time of service. I asked for a citation and an explanation of how else it could possibly be calculated and am awaiting the response. I swear, if I weren't ETSing soon, I would probably end up in a...
