I hear you; Dealing with the VA and the Military DES system will drive you crazy. I had my service rep call me telling me I missed a VA exam and that could hurt my case. The VA hospital sent in a missed no show to the RO office. I call the RO and explained to them that I was at my...

Rob, In every claim I filed with the Philadelphia VA I got a VA Form 20-8892 monthly telling me that they recieved my claim and are still processing it, or reviewing it. I also stay in email contact with my service rep at AMVETS checking the status and call the 1- 800 number bugging them...

I'm in National Guard I have not been to drill or AT this year, Once I enter the MEB I stopped going to drill. I'm in the final stages of MEB/PEB and waiting for my rating. I submited letter from Dr stating I could not perfom military duties. My command never called me to try and make me drill...

Found out today I was found unfit by PEB now it goes to VA for rating because I'm part of the DOD VA pilot program. I didn't agree with VA findings at the physical exams so now I wait again.

I've had a claim from VA denied 3 times for lack of evidence or medical opinion. I then would talk to my service rep from AMVETS and get the evidence that they said was missing. AMVETS would re file my claim. They would find something else I needed, I'm still in the process of this calim. I...

Its just a frustrating process because the National Guard does not understand the Active Duty MEB/PEB process, since thats what I am supposed to go through because my conditions are from a mobilization and combat in Iraq. I agree the NG does not understand the MEB process, I'm a M-day NG and...

I'm National Guard and had a DD-214 from the Active Duty tour I did. So I applied for VA benefits right a way and got a rating.

Received MEB packet for signature from PEBLO Conclusion SM fails to meet retention standards. Refer to PEB for adjudication.

Well one thing I was right about the VA has sent me a letter stating they will reduce my 30% rating to 0% in 60 days. This is from my exam part of the DOD VA/ Pilot prorgram. I had an exam at Baltimore VA where the Dr asked me questions and then answered them for me. I contested and even told...

He is using a rep; from DAV who is new the rep he was using retired. When reading his VA decision there was no mention of his LOD from National Guard. Only referenced his Active Duty. He showed me everything he gave to the DAV and his LOD where included. Is there any CFR he can ask his...

I have a friend who served in vietnam,4 years active duty then retired after 30 + years of Army National Guard service. He filed VA claim for Service connection for injuries which he recieved in vietnam and Army Nation Guard duty on drill status and during an 2 week Anunal training. He has...

First went to Aberdene MD to see DOD Doctors for a fit for duty in Nov 08. (found unfit) Then to FT Meade MD to see another in DOD Dr in Dec 08 who determine MEB. Then Jan 09 sent to Baltimore VA Hosiptal for C&P exams. When I went for VA C&P exams I told VA Doctors I'm already rated at...

I'm in Guard and just went for MEB exam through DOD/VA Pilot Program at Ft Meade. I had to go through all the C&P exams again. Time line still to be determined.

Thank you I will contact the Baltimore VA and ask about this. I did tell this C&P doctor that I'm already rated at 30% for the exam his was giving me, and hope he wasn't going to try and change that for the worse. He said no; he knows what he's doing and that if anything I would get rated...

Yeah well these doctors where C&P doctors for VA; I wouldn"t use them any way. I was sent there by Army not by choice.

Update: Just returned from VA exams I felt like the Doctors gave me the bums rush. I tried to talk to the Doctors, but they would answer for me. Did'nt even want to look at my documents I brought.

Just an update going to VA in Baltimore for a number of exams this week. Part of DOD/DVA DES pilot program.
