    40% PDRL, 80% VA, Help - I think I got lowballed...

    In my case the PEBLO got the results but told me that the Navy side of the results are not final. It still goes thru the QA process back to the Navy then the final results come to PEBLO. I made the mistake of taking it as a final answer. My navy side said 30% but after the Navy it was reduced...

    40% PDRL, 80% VA, Help - I think I got lowballed...

    I do understand the part about the VA and the migraines, I have the same issue. I have them daily lasting several hours. All I can tell you is that "my attorney" at the formal board said to never request a re board on the VA side if the rating is over 70% The rating can actually decrease. If...

    percentage is back but.....

    I agree. I have had two friends get out on med boards in the last few months and you are told to pick a separation or retirement date 30,60, or 90 days out. They should not say no, usually it is they dont like you to because it is hard with the 30 days because it takes 2-3 weeks to get orders...

    Formal Medical Board Question after Telephone Conference

    The original was 30% and the Navy gave me the CAT II saying that they were related to each other even tho they were not and dropped it to 10% and severance pay.

    Formal PEB question

    According to my attorney that helps to an extent. It has to be someone that has been your supervisor for while or some one you have been with more than one command. Peers and family statements help. The attorney will know which ones to use and will want contact information for those people to...

    Question in regards to my Formal Board request and what followed.

    According to what my PEBLO had told me at that stage most people are given an offer and dont actually have to go to the formal board. I was the first person not given an offer and went to the formal board. I would log into ebenefits and check the status of your paperwork with the VA.

    IDES/VA EBenefits?

    My PEBLO said the ebenefits site is not a good source. Mine has been sitting at Level 1 and I am going through the appeal process now. Mine never changed. If you call the # listed on the ebenefits website they can give you an update on the case just not tell you numbers.

    Came in the Army on medical waiver

    I also came in on a medical waiver for 2 previous knee surgeries in 2002. I believe that the catch is proving that it is service aggravated.

    HELP JASON! RESULTS MAY 6TH MEB and they didn't include anything!

    They are correct about the Home waiting Orders. MILPERMAN 1910-900 is where it used to be but it has been cancelled and that is no longer an option if you are Navy at least. The Physical Disability Separation Message that comes out will state that you can have PSD processing time of 10 days...
