I don't know all the answers to your questions, but my Attorney told me that the Commander's statement holds no weight. When I went to sign my NARSUM, she said, "Do you care to see what your Commander's opinion is of you? He's not a medical professional, and he is certainly not your medical...

It won't be taxed.

He is Army. So, this has nothing to do with his situation. We all gave him the correct information. Source: I am Army, on a P3 profile and cannot PCS during a MEB.

Do you have an Attorney? If so, reach out to them if your PEBLO doesn't respond.

Is there any reason you want a MEB? You're talking about a process generally taking 6-12 months if everything goes smoothly.... You can just retire, and apply for VA disability once you retire. I am completely baffled by this post, especially with someone with as much time in service as you...

@Provis is correct. You will not be PCS during a MEB. If they are offering a MEB, then take it.

You are very close! Hang in there!

It is going to depend on whether you accept the rating or challenge it. If you accept, then you will begin out processing shortly thereafter: you will be given a NLT date and get up to 90 days to clear, pick up your DD214, and all that crap. If you challenge the ratings, expect to add another...

This is a question for your Attorney. You do not want to mess up that form. Please do not take advice from us. This is a situation where you absolutely need to get in contact with your Attorney for best results!

If your case is showing closed, then your PEBLO should be contacting you very soon with your results/ratings. You will have some options to choose from. Assuming you agree to everything and are happy with the ratings, then you will sign... From there, you are basically done. Few more weeks and...

Not sure exactly what your question is, but it sounds like you need to communicate with your CoC. If you are experiencing a bad day, let them know you need to go home for a few hours or help out with another task for a bit. Communication is the key during a MEB. Every CoC is different, but they...

If you are stable (and in this case improving) on the medication and it is not impacting your daily work, then I think it is unlikely they would offer you a Med Board. If you have tried many different types of medication and getting treatment for a year with no positive results, then that would...

From my understanding, if you are in the process of being separated, then a MEB cannot be initiated. So, you need to get clarity from your CoC on whether or not they have begun the admin separation. If not, then your MEB should begin. Once a MEB starts, you will be MEB unless something...

Sigh... these people hold up the process for everyone else. Paranoia, making up law changes that don't exist, has a pension and all other benefits imaginable, yet is still unsatisfied. Some people can never be happy.

No. You will stay at your duty station until you finish the IDES process. Once everything is complete, they will cut your separation/retirement orders.

If they find you unfit for duty, you will have a few options to challenge it. However, if you've had two seizures in a year, then it might not be something you can win. Let's say you're driving a military vehicle and the seizure happens and you crash into a civilian vehicle... It is important to...

I have seen/heard from multiple people that they are finished with almost all November claims and are now working December cases. That fits the standard time and makes sense. I would expect February to be the month for NARSUMs signed in December. March should be for January 2025. *rough estimates*

My NARSUM was signed on January 13th, 2025, and sent to the PEB on January 14th. You are about 3 weeks ahead of me in the process.

Unfortunately, it will be an uphill battle from here. Doesn't mean it is impossible, but LDES is only chosen by less than 1% of all MEB. I really wish your PEBLO would have been more transparent with you. Once you sign for IDES or LDES that is final. You cannot switch at all. Wishing you the...

Congrats! I am a little over 3 weeks ahead of you in the process. You aren't going to be hearing from your PEBLO until they hear back from the VA. I have been calling the VA weekly, every Wednesday, just to make sure everything is still good and nothing has changed. I just like to be proactive...
