That is correct because less than 30% means no chapter 61 PDRL so the point total won't matter. If you are early in the process I would consider looking at hiring a dedicated attorney.

You need 30% DOD to be sure. All points count for disability retirement though I am not sure in the event of less than 30% since the rule that all points counts for disability retirements would not apply in my opinion. Instead my guess is that with less than 30% you would not be able to get...

I would send info to your MSC and upload it to VA.gov. If the rating comes back at less than 100% for that condition you can submit a VARR to have the VA reconsider the ratings due to the new information.

If all that is standing in the way is a few more points to get your 50 points in your last full good year of serving I would do it. Basically without the 20 year letter you won't get any of your pension as it will all be offset by your VA compensation leaving your only benefit to be Tricare...

Should be March 1 or April 1. However, you will get the rest via backpay after DFAS finishes with their calculations. My wife apply for sinusitis but has OSA diagnosis and asthma too but they weren't finished with her VA claims. So she started with one condition and will have to apply to have...

Yes you will but it will take DFAS some time to calculate it. Also, when did you apply? My wife's application was received at the end of December so just wondering.

If NARSUM is incorrect or wrong in any way you can do a rebuttal to it or request an IMR. Have you consulted your assigned legal for IDES about your concerns? The PEBLO is a paper pusher so the best advice is from free assigned legal or hiring outside private counsel.

Also its crazy how quick things go obsolete. I got the DA 4187 in July of 2022. If you or anyone sees an outdated form please let a moderator know so that we can updated and keep the resources available up to date.

Thanks! These resources can be removed and or updated if need be.

Will do! Yep if you look up at top of the page there are other tabs than just forums:) It's how us moderators look smart when we whip out a document haha!

Do you mind if I post these documents to the resource tab? That way others can find them apart from a discussion thread?

Just because they refer you for one condition doesn't mean you can't get others added. That's where strategy is involved. My wife's attorney did an amazing job helping her argue that mental health should be added that by the NARSUM stage they added that condition without needing to do further...

Migraines can be unfitting and Botox Injections require you to be near a specialist so you can't serve in an Austere Environment. My wife was MEB'd due to migraines and other conditions. She get Botox Injections. So yes you can be put in IDES for migraines. Also, its possible to stay in but a...

A VA form 21-4138 describing the incorrect items will do. I would also include a correctly filled out DBQ if your specialist is willing to fill one out for you.

Errors happen often but not huge ones. I can read it if you like. I will start a conversation and you can attached it.

Have the PEBLO inquire and they can request that the PEB to make the proper corrections. Mistakes do happen. If 2 voted unfit the they should have ruled unfit.

You can also contact your MSC and give them the additional evidence.

You can get those documents online most likely. My wife's DA199 is listed. My records from early 2000's are listed so yours may too. If you were Army the link is: https://www.hrcapps.army.mil/Portal/ You will need to create a DS login if you don't have one already. If you are not Army let...

If you are put in IDES you will not have control over your timeline. So that is one thing to consider.

How close are you to hitting your Reserve Retirement? When you mention started retirement package does that mean you can retire immediately because you have reached your qualifying age to get your Reserve Retirement? There are some pros to MEB since you have LOD's and that would result in...
