Same here Kiefer. Site has been a blessing. No Severance here. I'm good with the retirement. $1000 a month for the next 480 months is a good deal IMO. But that severance would have been a good aid to my Transistion.

acutally, it was ruled out as related. my gastro is amazing:) and was super thorough. I kept him informed of all my conditions. And he wanted to tie anything that could be related to my Crohn's to my PEB.

I'm in the Pacific SW. San Diego. I actually want to stay in the electronics tech field for a while until I finish my Bachleors. Currently working witht the VA and Fleet and Family Support Center.

Requested a reconsideration through the VA PDRL 30% VA 50% Now starts the next battle. The increased hunt for a new Job.

I totally understand!! Same boat man. I cant even Start serious Job hunting until i get a separation date. EverywhereI look they ask me when I'm getting out.

NWY, Sorry man, but retirement is always worth more than the Severance in a few years. I havent gotten either yet(Waiting on VA reconsideration). Would be okay with the severance and kind of want it for short term security. But I know the retirement is a better investment. Your wifes insurance...

Have you gotten your Informal results?

So I have a 40% rating now. How will the percentage change when the CPAP info is added?

Welll just got back from D.C. denied fit finding. and now i regret trying not just trying to go for 30%. Now I dont knw what to do. JAG put in a package to Contest the VA findings of 10% to get it to 30%. But the way things are going I'm not to confident about ANYTHING.

This is all Greek to me?

Well, told the JAG that I wanted to be found fit for duty.. I feel like I shot myself in the foot now. Because i know if found fit , that when EAS is up in Dec 2013 I'll get screwed.. Stressing the heck out all of a sudden

Thanks Mike. Hopefully I get what I want and dont have to go to D.C. *fingers crossed*

about 6 years. But just diagnosed last November. I guess my Crohns is odd and has symptoms of UC also. Im in San Diego. Yes they offered me Severance and Separation. They will TRY to screw you Kiefer. Stay on your game if you want a fighting chance. From what I hear. They lowball everyone on the...

VA rated me at 20% for degenerative disc disorder. Due to loss of forward mobility. X-rays are recently done. Been to the DR for my back 5 or 6 times. But of course nothing was looked into. one time I was immobile. NMA was written about the condition one. I was told that it was to only be...

You submit something new?

Code was "moderate" for the Crohns. My has gastro wrote a letter explaining that it was "Moderate-Severe" with frequent exacerbation . I only have 1 Condition one on my Informal. I requested my 20% VA rating for my back to be added to consideration. But I don't know if it will be without an...

Self refer yourself to A Naval Hospital. There will be a Naval Message put out and it will go to your command. That will raise the Red flags if they are giving you the run around.

So I have requested a formal board for my Crohn's rating and unfit informal findings. I just spoke with the JAG and he tells me that I have a chance to actually stay in?!?!?!?!?!?! I have come to terms with the fact that 13 years in and I was getting Kicked out. Now I heard that I could...

Talk to a JAG asap. "Suck it up" is not an acceptable response to your request for help. AS a matter of fact, you need to talk to the highest person in the limdu coordinators office about that response.

Im in a similar Situation as SMFC, Had findings after package went up. I'd Give the findings to the VA rep ASAP SMFC. And not wait until Exit Exam. I just don't know if they are going to use Fuzzy VA math for the extra condition findings. Or add them to the Initial findings. You're not alone...
