Ok if I'm E6 over 14 years National Guard, for army severance pay I was calulated at 6.8 years. For severance; will I now recieve the E6 base pay at over 6 years and not the over 14 years?

Thanks to all that replyed. yeah I understand now; however my unit kept telling me it's in my best intrest to get to the 15 year mark. Maybe they will try and retire me, I'm going to go through the apeal process for my rating, I'm waiting for my DRO hearing now. (DOD/VA program) If...

Just recieved a letter from VA stating that have assigned a desision review officer (DRO) to handle my appeal.

VA service rep called today and said he filed NOD today. I should expect a letter from VA. Does anybody know if I can use a lawyer to handle the VA rating so I can try and get up to 30%.

Filed a NOD at the reconsideration; VA service rep who filed that NOD is now waiting for decsion from the reconsideration to come to him. PLEBO said everything is done at his level, I just have to wait for State to discharge me and then file the NOD when all the paper work comes down. Funny...

I meet with a DOD Doctor and he went over my conditions; this is where you want to make sure all your conditions are listed. I was examed briefly by him. This doctor then setup the exams with the VA. After the VA exams results came back I meet with this doctor again and he wrote up the...

This is how my pilot program went down; Briefing at Ft Meade of DOD/VA program MEB exam at Ft Meade VA exams conducted (depends on how many conditions; will determine how many exams) Narsum done by Dr at Ft Meade after results from VA exams Sign MEB if agree or if you disagree...

I was found unfit on two conditions, both MEB/PEB found both conditions service connected, one condition was assoicated with the other. I filed my claim in 2006 after getting off active duty and returning to my Guard unit. My unit told me to go to VA for treatment. VA gave me service...

I'm going to have to appeal my case to the VA boards of appeal. My MEB/PEB found me unfit and service connected. The VA rating was 20% not service connected. I asked for a reconsideration and they refused to change thier decsion. I aready had a veterans service rep working my prior claims...

No I'm still in my entire file was sent to Army Physical disability Agency after my VA rating reconsideration. 30% reduced to 0% after my VA physical through piolet program. Arthritis, and Pulmonory. My MEB/PEB both list both conditions as service connected.

The VA refused to change my rating at my reconsideration; The VA is stating one of my conditions is now rated at 0% and the other condition is not service connected. The Army is stating both my conditions are service connected and I'm unfit to continue military service. I concurred with the...

Now that the VA has not changed my rating through the Reconsideration process, I was told my packet was sent to HQ of DES waiting for final results. I will have to extend again as my ETS is in October; another year gone by.

I was told by my PEBLO to call Water Reed Warrior legal counsel about the next steps for me. I called and they want me to send them my everything. So now I have to fax everything that PEBLO sent me to them. I will keep the fourm updated.

Yes the denial is for service connection; even though the MEB/PEB states it's service connected and unfitting.. The NOD was not even setteled yet. It was the reconsideration from the VA piolet rating that was denied.

Yes I filed a NOD; it's gets confusing. I already filed my claims with VA in 2006 -2007, after that the state put me in to a MEB. After the MEB started I was put in to the pilot program. So for anything the VA previously denied me for the VA continued to say no. This is even after the Army...

My VA reconsideration came back with No change warranted. they want to give me a 20% rating for arthritis for DES purpose but nothing for DVA. Do I no have to wait after I'm discharged and file an appeal through the Board of Veterans Appeals.

I got my results from VA reconsideration back. No change. I was told the only thing I can do is file an appeal to the VA. My PEBLO and AMVET rep don't understand what is going on. The Army states I have both conditions and they happend on active duty. I was told I should contact a lawyer.

Just an update from my IPEB; I got the standard form letter from the VA stating they recieved my application for benefits. it was dated 2 weeks after I asked for a recosideration from my IPEB. So I continue to wait, I will keep everyone on the fourm posted. I will be the first person asking...

Sign my DA Form 199 today: I concured with the PEB findings, but requested DVA reconsider my disabilty rating. I had to submit a writen request, that showed new medical evidence or an error to warrant the reconsideration. I sent both new medical; which wasn't actually new they just did'nt...
