Update: Reading my discharge paperwork from the VA, it says that my 5150 turned into a 5250 after a "hearing" during my hospital stay of eleven days. So, as far as I know that equates to a lifetime Federal ban. We'll see what the DA and judge have to say about it, though. If anyone has any...

Had my first court hearing on this matter on Monday. The district attorney seemed unprepared and neither her or the judge had any of the paperwork associated with my case. The DA said that since I was hospitalized, if they held me on a 5250 it would be a lifetime ban, but that she would look...

I have no problem doing that, and I'm sure I will have to do one during the course of this case, but do I really even have to, since the five years has expired? I was under the impression that the ban is lifted after 5 years without any review or examination... Thank you, Chaplain Charlie, for...

Update on my situation: I waited for the 5 year ban on firearms to expire, after that, I submitted a Personal Firearms Eligibility Check (PFEC) and received a denial notice in the mail a couple weeks later. A month ago, I went down to the county court house and submitted a "Request For...

ScoutCC, Great insight, thank you very much for your reply. Once I get through this issue I'll post my experience so that others can be informed.

Hello All, I am currently working on getting a service-connected left shoulder injury I have to be deemed combat-related and eligible for CRSC. They have received my submission so I'm just waiting on their findings. My right shoulder also has a service-connected rating. I believe my right...

After being frustrated with the VA's lack of initiative in helping me find a solution to a very complex shoulder problem that I have, I started to look elsewhere and have found a surgeon that is willing to do a shoulder replacement, which is what I have needed for some time now. This shoulder...

CORRECTION: The initial claim was received by the VA on February, 28, 2013. My mistake. The pay adjustment was backdated to September 29, 2012 when I left active duty.

Yeah. I guess I just had gotten used to the waiting game having already gone through the process of being medically retired from active duty. For that process I was even held 10 months past my EAS, but it was all worth it in the end. At least the back pay money for being moved to 100 percent...

This claim was submitted by the LA Regional Office and was processed by the VA Fort Harrison Regional Office.

I just received an approval determination on my TDIU claim that I filed on February 28, 2012.

Thank you all for your feedback. I will make a call to the Dept. of Justice tomorrow and keep everyone updated on the progress.

Warrior644, Thank you very much for your consideration. I'm really in the dark on this one.

I have never been declared incompetent by the DoVA to handle my own financial affairs due to a mental disorder, nor has the DoVA appointed a fiduciary to handle and manage my financial affairs. All the funds that I receive from the VA are deposited directly into my bank account, as they always...

I realize this is a legal matter but maybe someone on this forum has run into this issue, too. I live in Ohio now, but the following issue was at the VA hospital in west Los Angeles. Today, when I went to purchase a handgun, I was denied after a NICS background check because I previously was...

Hello PEB Forum, A few days ago, after a CT scan on my shoulder, the orthopedic surgeon in Cincinnati gave me a pretty bleak outlook on my upcoming surgery. She said she was hesitant to go through with a complete shoulder replacement, and that even though that is likely what I need. At only...

Has anyone had experience of submitting evidence and receiving a 100 percent rating from the VA following an operation? I have been assured by orthopedics that I need another shoulder surgery. Is this automatically initiated by the surgeon after a surgery is scheduled, or does it fall solely...

Great information, thank you, pittpan2005. You mentioned a plan...not quite sure what you mean. Is this "plan" developed my counselor and I, then pitched to someone else? Can you elaborate a little more on this Plan? Thank you.

I would like to hear from someone who has been through, or is currently using this benefit. What are some good things/ bad things about this program? Any problems, hang-ups or delays? I will be using chapter 31 when I sign up for the Fall semester at Ohio State University. Thank you for your...

Thank you so much; Very straight forward answer. Will the VA pay you retroactive to your EAS? Do you get the DoD money that they took in taxes back when the VA contacts the DFAS?? Like a lump sum, or something... -Adam
