Looking at his profile, I'm guessing Navy - QTheDukeQ if you are in fact a Navy TDRL member go here: TDRL contacts, TDRL address change, hospital contacts, messages All the contact information you need is here (I would start with "1st Examination Orders").

In lieu of Jason's response (he will certainly correct me if I am wrong) - a favorable decision in his current case would, as he stated, make the practice illegal in the future. In regard to past instances, a judgment from the Court of Federal Claims stating that the "fit, but unsuitable"...

If found unfit for duty, you cannot ignore the PEB decision and choose to continue serving to finish out your 20 - although, you can choose to non-concur with the PEB findings. Without 20 years, you do not qualify for CRDP/concurrent receipt. So yes, you are correct.

TACP, Sorry to hear of the unfavorable findings. Glad to hear you are appealing - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Good luck.

What a great analogy. Powerpoint is the perfect tool for "dumbing-down" a given set of information for presentation. All of us here know how the military loves to dumb-down everything! What scares me is the amount of pertinent information left out of these slideshows (almost like a command...

When you refer to "VA pay" do you mean VA disability compensation or something else (G.I. Bill BAH payment, etc)? If I remember correctly, TDRL/retirement is paid in arrears (this could be incorrect, or could vary). In either case, the best thing to do is call DFAS immediately to determine...

Understood. It is highly, highly unlikely that a court-martial or UCMJ action will result from the scenario you described.

italianguy4, Unless there is some considerable factor here that you are not mentioning, the answer to your original question is no. What your PEBLO is probably (hopefully) warning you about is the plausibility of the IPEB deeming your condition EPTS and not aggravated by service - which equates...

I think the concluding statement quoted above is supportive of a fit finding. If you're asking, "Will the PEB find me fit for duty due to this letter?" - No, a fit finding will not be solely based on this letter (nor will it necessarily result in a fit finding when combined with other evidence).

The Army will award you a disability rating for conditions that the PEB deems unfitting for service. What conditions make you unfit for service is contingent on your MOS, rank, billet, so on and so forth. Sleep Apnea is a compensable disability. The Army and DVA use the same schedule for...

Without citing (or looking at) a specific reference, I would say yes. However, I believe there would be an option offered to most members faced with this scenario (assuming that MMRBs occur primarily to those with a decent amount of time in service/seeking 20). For example, Army Regs state that...

While there are clearly two paths that can be taken here, I would advise you take the one of least resistance - trying to make it to work in as timely a manner as possible (I understand this may be difficult due to your condition) and working with your chain of command to prepare for your...

livewire, Just got your message. I first want to concur with and re-emphasize everything Jason stated. It seems your primary concern is that if you are placed in the PDES, you will not receive optimal care prior to your discharge from the military. This is certainly a justifiable fear. My...

Update 4/19/2010 Received a letter last week from the Army HRC Office in Virginia. It was a generic letter you receive upon initially sending in your documents for the SLRP, at the bottom of the letter was the amounts of my last payout written in pen. No justification, no explanation, nothing...
