My husband is eligible to receive his taxes back from his severance pay. Wondering what everyone's timeline has been for that. Of course he was told the standard 60 to 90 days. However, the lady also told him it usually takes a lot less time then that. He called dfas a few days after sending his...

If my husband's ebenefits went from "pending decision approval" back to "gathering of evidence",what does that mean? He called the Va the other day and they said it's in the last stages just waiting to be approved. But now that it's back at "gathering of evidence", I'm wondering if it's going to...

My husband's ebenefits changed to pending decision approval yesterday. He tried to call his Peblo to see what she could see. Of course, she didnt answer. He called his original Peblo and asked him to look. He pulled up my hudband's case and said he thought the VA would have been done with the...

I have a friend who's husband was medically separated back in August. The army gave him no rating, while the VA gave him a total rating of 80% for I believe 3 conditions. He only had 1 unfitting condition and was in a total of 3 years . They will still receive insurance from the military though...

Have no clue where to post this so hope it's ok to put it here. I just signed onto my husband's ebenefits account for the first time. I see where it says Contentions at the top right of the page. What all should be listed under there?

I wanted to know the pros and cons of appealing the Dod decision before getting out and the pros and cons of waiting to appeal after getting out of the military. My husband hasn't gotten his ratings yet, they were just received by the peb on Oct. 24th. He was just wanting to know so I figured I...

Tuesday my husband's PEBLO called and told him his appeal to add somethings was denied. We figured that would happen. My husband brought home the letter last night that the doctor wrote denying it. Well, I noticed in the letter he said my husband has no neuroforminal narrowing in his neck...

My husband had an EMG done last week. The doctor said he has slight nerve damage in his right arm but not enough to affect the function of his arm at this moment. My husband didn't ask if it will get worse over time. He has neuroforminal narrowing on his right and left cervical spine, mostly on...

Not sure where to put this so hope it's ok here. I was wondering if it is possible to have a second MRI done somewhere besides the base hospital, without paying for all of it ourselves? It's clear that either the docor who did my husband's MRI report is either biased to the army or doesn't know...

My husband just turned in everything thing this morning to have an IPR done. His PEBLO called just a little while ago and said she was able to put in a good word for him and he has his appoinment for it tomorrow. His lawyer told him to have another ROM done before everything is sent to the PEB...

My husband's lawyer said he needs a second opinion on his ROM for his neck and back. The reoport from his C&P exam is full of contradictions. Where can he get a ROM done. Someone told him, his pain management would probably do one but we aren't sure. Anyone had o have a 2nd opinion before?

Went with my husband to see the lawyer this morning. He was looking over my husband's MRI's and I mentioned some things he didn't see on the report. I found the MRI report I was referring to and showed him. Apparently my husband has MRI reports requested by Va and MRI reports by his PA. The ones...

How much weight will a supporting letter that i write for my husband's narsum appeal carry? His doctor wrote one for his neck and i have to write one regarding his neck and back. We doubt me writing a letter for his back will help. He walks with a cane that was prescribed to him, has had 2...

Going with my husband tomorrow to look at his NARSUM. Will he be able to get a copy of it? We know he will be waiting the full ten days to sign or appeal, hoping to get two other appointments and the results by then.

When my husdband had his C&P exam, there were new things found. His PCM just decided to send him to have a nerve test done and referred him to a neurologist to have his back better looked at. He is suppose to see his completed NARSUM this week. My question is, if more information is obtained...
