So for my understanding. I will receive guard pay and the 40% awarded at the MEB really means nothing?

Hello all, It has been along time since I have been on the site. My situation is that I was MEBed a few years ago with a rating of 40%. I was a guard member. I am now receiving 100 % from the VA for Gulf war problems. I have been told that I will receive both VA and Mil pay when I reach the age...

Wow, What great information! how do I go about applying for guard retirement. I will be 59 in October but I am trying to get my ducks in a row now. Thank you!

Thank you for your response. I have a couple people here telling me that I get both after 60 years of age.

Hello all, Excuse me if this question has been addressed. With the help of Jason as my representative I was awarded 40% at my MED. I was a guard member and have to wait until I am 60 to receive benefits. I am receiving 100% VA at this time. Question is do I have to apply for my guard...

I am having trouble with the VA rating medical problems that I am have that are on the Gulf War list as presumed. I can prove that I have had the problems for awhile but keep getting rejected by the VA for these problems. I am 40% on other problems that I have but for some reason they have...

Thanks for responding! I have the handbook but no where in there that I have found lists what OPM considers wages. I also put my questions in writing to my HRO telling them that I really need a answer. The HRO rep put this information out to her HRO community and got a "I think" reply. When I...

I was awarded 40% at the MEB so of course being a dual status tech that means that I loss my GS position. Now for the question the HRO staff does not seem to have the answer to. According to the OPM web sight and what HRO is telling me I will be able to make 80% of my GS position. But the OPM...

Was wondering if the rules for Gulf War presumtion would apply to the MEB process? If so and I meet the criteria would that automatically make it combat related?

More info requested by IPEB I have been waiting on results from informal board for over two months now and last week my PEBLO sent me a request from board asking for all Active orders from 2007. I am a guard member and the only orders I had in 2007 was 100 days on the boarder and summer camp...

pad_guy 1. . Maybe it is doing the most you can for your country and not all about the money! 2. I am sorry that a soldier would cause way too much work for everyone. I am sure he has never had to work hard and had to make life and death decisions on deployments. I hope no one got to big a...

Was looking more on the military side (Tax exempt) than the VA. Thanks

Hello, Was wondering if my results come back from my IPEB and I agree with the amount of disability but do not agree if they say it is not combat related. Do I have to challenge this at a formal board or is there some other avenue if you just want to argue combat related? I ask because I am...

I would like to thank all responses to this question! The knowledge on this sight is second to none. I hope all people that have blazed the trail and continue to do the research to help a fellow vet realize just how much good you are doing. I just went over 24 years yesterday and when I enter...

The only thing that concerns me is the "may be retained" part of this. That does not mean no. I will bring this up to my chain of command and see what they say. Thank you for the great information! Chuck

My injuries stem from Desert Storm. (actived Guard)

I am a Guard Tech that will soon be out on a Military disability. I then will be put out of my GS position. The question I have is: has anyone been put out on an OPM retirement went back to work under the 80% ceiling and been reevaluated? The reason I ask is I will be able to get a job under the...

I asked my chain of command and was told that it was a no brainer. I would have no problem from them taking all my sick leave. (about 4 Months). Asked about having doctors excuse and they told me that being processed through the MEB would cover doc excuse " your are lossing your job because of...

Let me start out by saying that I am very greatful for all the information that I have and continue to get. It seems I get the answers here faster and more correct than any other place I look including my unit. Now for the question:I am being told by my HRO that I can use up my sick leave as a...
