Consider hiring a dedicated private IDES attorney. There are only a handful that specialize in it but they are worth their worth in Gold. Most give a free consultation. I would ask them these questions to get their input and to see if they would be worth hiring. My wife hired one just...

If 1 condition is combat related then entire chapter 61 pension is exempt. There isn't any 1099R issued. At least that is my experience. Even if it was taxable DFAS won't take out taxes unless you tell them to so just know that. I would submit an online inquiry with DFAS. You can do that...

If you get 100% VA P&T then you would be eligible for CHAMPVA.

There isn't much that can be done other than to continue to seek treatment. Make sure your unit has your medical records if seeing someone outside of the military. If you need a profile for your condition make sure to submit a profile packet for restrictions while on orders or drilling. You...

Integrated disability evaluation system or legacy disability evaluation system. They are the processes for which you get kicked out due to being medically unfit to serve. If done while in training like Basic Training or OCS its typically LDES which is the old system where you don't go to any...

One more thing to add. If you are still at OCS or BST then it would be on your unit at the training post to process you out. Might be LDES instead of IDES if you are there. Though if they tell you that you need LOD that is most likely through your unit back home. LOD's won't be done by...

So the base itself isn't probably going to be able to help you. I would call the unit you are assigned to and ask them for help. Most base personnel wont have the information you need since they are all active duty.

Have you seen your Medical Person in your NG unit? Gather your medical docs and see them and ask for what forms to submit a LOD.

Assuming your TDRL and not PDRL its super important to continue to seek treatment after getting out. I would suggest you go to the VA. I would not change anything up for the first year out so that your branch can find your condition stable and change it to PDRL without lowering it. Many...

It can take some time. while waiting you could work on your commander's impact statement. It will help your commander and you will have it written to correctly reflect your conditions and which ones affect your ability to do your job. I will also send you some private attorneys to interview...

This is so sad. I am pretty sure the answer will be heartbreaking. With no application for Non regular retirement and no applying for VA benefits I believe he is out of luck. Its a very simple step but I don't believe there is any recourse if the Soldier doesn't at the very least apply for...

Select IDES. IN the remarks in the VA application for benefits state for DOD purposes only. Then only list the conditions you were referred for that will most likely be unfitting. Don't list everything concerning conditions. The whole time thing is a joke. Maybe you save 1 or 2 weeks tops...

WOW! Sorry I missed this one. Send you some reference for a consultation. I would consult a private IDES Attorney to get their thoughts. However, I think code 37 means no deployment and full IDES. That would mean no PCS. If you don't want to consult with a private IDES Attorney I would...

I Always recommend hiring a dedicate private attorney. They are expensive but all they do is IDES and there is only a handful of them in the USA. My wife hired one from the start and her results were better than we ever imagined. A lot of that was our attorney knowing what it would take to...

In my Opinion getting Tricare and the possibility of additional compensation via CRSC is well worth trying to get that DOD% increased to 30% or more.

If your MH is bad the best thing you can do is seek treatment. If your symptoms are bad enough they will refer you to IDES or even better with the help of a MH counselor you may find solutions that can help you so that you can continue on. If its just stress from work and you need a change of...

I would get them uploaded to the VA. May help you avoid an appointment in person for TDRL exam

So as far as I know there isn't any guidance. Any estimate would probably just be a guess and not educated on any inside information.

Sent info to you just now.

If you are continuing to seek treatment at the VA you may not have to attend an appointment. Your branch can review your VA records and determine if you are stable and give you a rating without a TDRL exam.
