I began terminal leave in March of this year. The day I received my DD214, I have a copy to my PEBLO, MSC and also turned on in to my local VA. My last day of Active Duty was 27 Jun 14, so my "new" claim was opened on 28 Jun 28. There was no activity at all on the claim until 29 Aug, which...

So, after being medically separated with 100% VA proposed ratings (Jun 27th), I am finally able to check my Ebenefits again. Tonight, I noticed that my original claim from the MEB had been "closed". A new claim was opened on 6/28/2014....which I completely understand. What I don't understand...

In 2005, I "burnt in" from a nighttime combat load jump, while in the 82nd. After an ER visit, and several weeks of excruciating pain, I was diagnosed with a right side bulging L5-S1. I became hooked on pain meds for 5 years due to this. After 20+ LSI's, Physical Therapy, TENS, Massage...

I have been reading the forums for quite some time now, assisting other Soldiers through their MEB process. Unfortunately, I was alerted today, by my PCM, that she is recommending me for an MEB due to back issues (I will save that for another forum). However, since the return from my most...
