Sounds like you have the correct information. No CRSC because you are under 20 years, no CDRP because nothing was deemed as combat situational. If you disagree and have the proof, however, you should appeal the non-combat decision so that you can apply for CDRP. Good luck!

I think it's more dependent on who you receive as your examiner. Mine was rushing straight through it and didn't ask me anything. I have some regrets about the C&P exams so I would suggest making sure that they understand your problems and DO NOT extend past any point that pain becomes...

Your surgeon will always prepare you for the worst but it depends on how well you recover after surgery. Get into physical therapy exactly 4 weeks after and treat it like your full time job. My first hip surgery with the screws was back in 08' and I fought and clawed my way back to full duty...

The recovery rate is pretty high and quick so if you want to stay in its definitely achievable. My surgery was following another one where my femoral neck bone cracked and they had to put three screws in. Massive arthritis in there now too. Put that on your VA claim too if it comes to that...

I actually went through this exact same thing for my second hip surgery. The request was sent up and then denied and Tricare's reasoning was that the civilian surgeons office needed to put specifics on why the surgery needed to be done. I reached out to my case manager who made a few calls for...

I know how you feel. This process is horrible for those of us with MH conditions.

I admire your fortitude. You definitely are not letting the system shut the door on you. They train us to fight, not sure why they are so surprised when we start throwing elbows. I hope that your severance situation gets worked out!

@melton312 Sorry to hear that you are not getting any information from the PEBLO's, that seems to be a reoccurring theme on these forums. Have you tried to call or chat the VA to see if they received your package from the PEB? If they say they have, at least you will know that you have been...

Same here. My C&P's flew by and the NARSUM portion did as well. The actual PEB and VA is what is dragging out.

Pretty close, my ratings were sent back to the PEB on 29 Feb. I'm a little over two weeks right now and am ANXIOUS.

Glad he got his ratings. Curious...when was your husband found unfit? Trying to bounce his timeline off of mine.

It really depends on a lot of different variables. For myself, I got my unfit finding about 2.5 months after it was sent up to the PEB. A lot of other people have waiting a full 3 months, but some less. I have met quite a few people on the same timeline as myself, both a little ahead and...

You picked an appropriate enough section of the Forums. You should post some more information about situation so that folks can start helping you out with your questions.

Have you checked your ebenefits to see if you have any information about them working on it yet? If it shows an update that it's with them than you are definitely unfit.

If the DoD found you fit for that specific condition, it doesn't mean that the VA doesn't look at it and assign it a rating still. It will still be assigned a rating, even if it is just 0% (don't stress, I highly doubt that would happen). The Army is just saying that they don't feel as though...

VA is not always the best route to take, especially if someone is a high ranking officer and would get paid a lot more by taking the DoD percentage.

I suggest going to Forums/Case Timelines/Navy Case Timelines. You can meet some pretty great people to interact with that have roughly the same timelines and get a good look at timelines that have been completed as well. Good luck and I hope things move quickly for you!

I like the line about the long game being more important than the short game. This is what I do too. This waiting game is just a small blip in the big picture.

I feel the same way. I'm at 8 years now and my body is jacked up. If my rating come back in a couple of weeks looking the same, I'll be fighting right along with you. Good luck and I hope it all works out for you!
