Hello all. In 2011 I went in front of an MEB and was found unfit for duty. the military thought that I should seperate at 17 years of service with no benefits. Working with Jason, I applied for Limited Assignment Status (LAS) which allowed me to stay on active duty and retire at 20 years of...

Hello all: So...I have went through the Med Board. I applied for Limited Duty Status and was accepted. I have been in the military for 18 years, and as with LAS I must retire at 20 years of service. I would like to transfer the remainder of my GI Bill benefits to my children however no one...

Tomorrow is the day. Report to the board at 0800.

Well, the day is finally here. I report to the Air Force Formal Board on Tuesday, 18 Jan. I will leave home this weekend and make my way down there. Wish me luck, I really have no idea what to expect. I had kind of convinced myself that the only chance I has was to get my rating raised...

Hello everyone: I am trying to understand the pay benefits for those that receive medical retirement, with less than 20 years in service. Can anyone please help? I read somwhere that it is basically your disability rating taken from your base pay. Is this the rating that you received from...

Any news yet? I hope your holidays were good....

Hello: Just curious, is this the informal board results that you just recieved or formal? If informal, have you contrmplated appealing, if for nothing else possiably getting your rate high enough for medical retirement? Just wondering.

First, thanks for the replies..... A couple of questions off the top: Medical retirement (30% or higher): So I pay for medical coverage no matter how I retire, Is my family receiving medical coverage, what is my retirement pay (high 3?). I still get access to military installations. Isn't...

O.K., I need an education. I recently talked with a veteran and found out that the "free" medical for the rest of your life belief may not be necessarily true. So please, all of you who are educated about the differences regarding military retirement vs. seperation vs. medical retirement...

That is what I had heard. Man, 90 days is not very long. Good luck with your board date. It only took a couple of weeks for mine. how long have you been waiting?

So, I am appealing the IPEB results. I go to the formal board in January. Does anyone know what happens if I they by some chance raised my rate and medically retired me? How long would I have to get my afffairs in order etc..... Thanks.

jrbacker: You have coome to the right place. While I am certainly no expert on the ratingscale, there are several folks on here that can educate you. I agree some of the information that is out there is very hard to read, medical language mixed with legal terms. Have you been through the...

Alright, so I go to the Formal appeal in January. If they do indeed raise my rating and medically retrire me, what kind of time frame am I looking at? How long after the decision before I leave the Air Force? Casey

WOW, that was fast. I signed the paperwork to appeal the boards previous decision on 29 Nov, and got word today (8 Dec), that my board date is 19 Jan. Kind of surprised that it happened so fast. The military lawyer had said that it would not be until Feb, maybe later. Kind of shocked me...

@Mike, i tried to PM you but your box is full. Please see info below. Let me first thank you for all of the help. This whole process is overwhelming and confusing. The VASRD is so hard to understand and make sense of. My results from the IPEB are as follows: VASRD Code: 5009-5002...

Well now I am more confused than ever. The military lawyer called me today, and spoke to me regarding my right to appeal. The IPEB rated me at 20% with seperation. I have Psoriatic arthritis in my fingers, wrists, and ankles. Psoriasis on my ear (very little), and the meds lower my immune...

Hmmm. I must admit that I have no idea if I fall under the pilot or legacy DES program. How do I find out?

My email, came from a paralegal. They basically wanted a copy of my 356, and some generic information like time of service, job, deployment potential etc... I replied back to them immediately, still have not heard anything from them. It is still amazing to me that there are only 4 lawyers to...

I have posted my individual situation in other postings, and I suppose that for the purpose of this post, it is not needed to post them again. Needless to say I feel that the results of my PEB were wrong. They offered seperation and a 20 rating. I think it should be higher, a lot higher. I...

I got my IPEB results on Friday 19 Nov 2010. I walked out of the hospital and called the AF lawyers that I had been referenced to. I got an email on Monday from them asking for a copy of my 356. Interesting to know that they have 4 lawyers working, taking care of AF active duty, guard and...
