Hi folks, I've been lax in reading and posting to the forum. I was medically retired in December 2011. While in the WTU, I filed for, and was awarded, SSDI. I filed a claim with the VA and learned Friday that my AB8 has been published and that I was awarded 90% (they didn't rate my...

Hi, I was a fairly active member of the forum prior to my retirement and it was very helpful. In the past 16 months I've been on a bit of a roller coaster. Scheduled for neuro stimulator then Neuro Surgeon killed in a plane crash, ad nauseum... Pending divorce, changed VA regions from STL...

As most of you know, I was found unfit by PEB and recommended retirement at 50%. PDA concurred. There's some Officer Personnel stuff that's now changed the picture. I was twice passed over for LTC (did not attend ILE due to injuries). As a result, I had a Mandatory Removal date (MRD) of 30...

Hi, I was lucky enough to get a call this morning from PDA advising me that they concurred w/ PEB's findings of 50% PDRL. Thanks to all who guided me through this. My paperwork (Physical Disability Information Report) shows this concurrence and shows date of separation as 04 JAN 12...

Hi, I got a call from PEBLO this afternoon and went over and discussed my DA 199 with him. I was a little confused on the ratings, as I thought my ROM on back and ankle would result in higher rating. I'll discuss with MEB Outreach Counsel on Thursday and, of course, the wife, and proceed...

Hi, I'm at the WTU at Fort Leonard Wood (since Dec 2010). My PEB got sent to JBLM on 05 JUN 2011. On 01 July, the admin person on PEB asked for some more documents (they were included in the original PDF, but I sent them anyway). I got news from my PEBLO today that the PEB wants to look at...

My PEB went to JBLM on 06 JUN 2011. Based on what I've gleaned from these boards, Lewis takes 6+ weeks. My PEBLO called me this morning asking about a missing OER (has not yet been accepted at DA) and a DD214 for my orders that ended in DEC prior to WTU 12301H orders. My packet was sent...

Hi, I just received my signed DA 3947 and NARSUM for the 7 day review. I spoke with the MEB Outreach Counsel yesterday and discussed the documents at length with my PEBLO. Below are the findings: 1.) Conditions that fail to meet retention standards IAW AR 40-501 a.) Herniated...

Hi, I sat down w/ my MEB Doc on Monday. He had previously reviewed part of my NARSUM with me last week, and completed it for signature on Monday. he won't give me a copy until it's signed by the Deputy Commander of the MTF. He told me that I had three conditions which exclude me from service...

Hi, I'm in a quandary. I am a USAR Soldier, mobilized for the last three years (CONUS) who was given ADME orders from Office of the Surgeon General/Army G1, based on back surgery date, neck injury, depression, and foot injury, on 09 DEC 2010. My orders expire 06 JUN 2011. My mandatory...

Hi, I'm relatively new to the forum, though not to the Army. Two years ago I had a synthetic disc replacement at C6-7. I was good to go until about a year ago, at which time I began experiencing pain and limited movement. I have undergone significant physical therapy and was referred...

Hi, I'm a new member with some questions I hope you folks can help me with. I am a USAR MAJ on Active Duty at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. I have 25 years for pay and 17 "good years" for retirement. I have been passed over for LTC (I didn't attend ILE nor do I intend to attend ILE). I got...
