Team, It's been a while since I've posted - anyone have good gouge on SSDI ? I applied for this and was denied. I've seen others that the SSDI went through and automatically approved. I retired from Army via PEB/Med Board and then went on to work as GS -14 until Sept 2025 when the agency let...

Hi Mike, Sorry for the delay, no I only have 16years. I am thinking now a COAR(?) if that is even an option at this point. Not sure but most of all want to get that Rhabdo added in. Anaconda

Warrior, I see that in your timeline that you requested and had not one but two formal PEB Hearings. Is that correct? I posted earlier on the HELP portion about my new situation I find myself in. I went through the formal PEB at Crystal City back in Nov 2013 and two weeks after that I was in...

Hey Mike, Yes still on active duty and yes incurred while on active duty Nov 2013, two weeks after meeting with the formal PEB I was admitted to the ER and then put in hospital for a week. Long story short, I went in today and told my Peblo that I wanted to appeal the decision in order to add...

Hey Mr Parker, I received my 199 and all was well and I am due to sign today, however just after my formal appeal before the board in crystal city, I was hospitalized with RHABDOE(SP) and in the hospital for a week and since then have had blood tests every week to monitor my CK levels. This...

Warrior644, My Packet went thru Seattle- When I was just waiting for the original ratings he said it could take a year plus before getting the results back and he was correct it took 366 days to get the results(actual ratings). When I asked my PEBLO the estimated time frame, he said anywhere...

Having been assigned to Anaconda both during the Surge as well as the draw down Indirect fire hit frequently and many missed, however each time the alarms went off most would take cover(Complacency set in). Its worth the fight and again getting unclassified portions of Sigacts would help if you...

Mike, TSgt Twitch, Thanks for the help, I think I am tracking better on this. Now I am just waiting on the VA Reconsideration since I won the FPEB back in Nov 2013. I was hoping by now to have resolution, however, thats what hoping gets you! A whole lot of nothing. Have a great...

GSFowler, Is that 100%, I spoke to a VA rep this past week and he said to expect that they would take all of the VA back to pay back the "loan"**Severance** I am in similar boat at 20% and severance would be large amount but unfitting condition is the 20%, so my VA is 90% and as I read your...

Appeal won at Crystal City, now waiting for VA Reconsideration at Seattle...Tick Tock

So as I have read these threads, you can get your severence tax free in some cases/ My case is injury occurred in Iraq(under Section V V4-Yes, will that allow me to take severence tax free? and then I am only Army rated currently at 20% if I read another post correctly the VA would only take a...

Yes this morning my IDES dashboard is saying that exact message- " You do not have an open case" I am assuming that the system is down for sometime of software update?

Ranger, Thanks for the help on the Sciatic nerve.- 8520 Paralysis of: (more than likely I will be found with Mild) however if I go to VA Hospital again I will show them how high I have to keep the SCS on to dull the pain of the right leg. So 92 days(+/-) Ok so guess that means I will be here...

Thanks Warrior for the kind words, I was very pleased with the formal board, having been ramped up prior to the board by others who had gone(or thought about going) had talked of the board being so rigid and non flexible that it was a waste of time. I had not only sworn statements to submit, but...

Hey Ranger, just went before the Formal PEB in Crystal City this past week and in the end they separated the Lower back injury from the right leg radiculopathy. They still kept my back at 20% however they said they would forward to VA the VAR for radiculopathy. So now I guess it's the waiting...

Hey Ranger, Yes they lumped it into the back. I have heard from others that they have been doing that. So any ideas on whether I would receive ID card if I take Severence? I am still up in the air and at the same time, if I can't draw both streams of money(If increased to 30% I would receive...

Sorry another newby question with only having the V code of 4 yes and the rest being no would I still be eligible for CRSC? Confused about that portion, if they do in fact increase my overall rating to 30 % then would I qualify for the CRSC with V4 yes( or is this not related one to the other)

Hey Ranger and Jason, Thanks for the input, to follow up on Rangers request for info, my 199 has the following rated conditions Sleep Apnea - 50% Tinitius - 10% Migrane/headaches - 30% Not PTSD(Mild Adjustment Disorder(anxiety/depression NOS) - 50% Back - 20% and a bunch other 0 % rated items...
