Thank you for this website. It was very helpful to have this free resource available. I was medically retired 3 years ago and I can honestly say my attorney saved my life. I don’t know where I would be without this website. Thank you to all the volunteers who dedicate so many hours of their time.

Not 1 of my civilian medical records exists within my military or VA records. And I’ve been to many different facilities in multiple states.

I appreciate your replies to my post. For me at least personally, none of my military or VA records are in my civilian electronic health record, and vice versa (except for this one ER report from a MTF which is in my VA record, but there are no other reports in my VA record outside the VA...

Then why is only this one ER visit part of my VA health records and not prior ER visits I’ve had as a civilian? Oh and by the way, none of my civilian health records are in my VA health record either. If MTF’s were part of the VA system every visit I’ve had would be there. May I summon you...

But, the military has its own electronic health system that isn’t part of any non-military health system and DEFINITELY not a part of the VA health system. Someone had to have actively sent it over in order for it to be in my VA electronic health record. Military treatment facilities are not...

Been medically retired for 2 years now. Usually if I need an ER I go to my local military hospital on base since there’s no copays and usually no long waits. Recently I needed stitches recently so I went there. A few weeks later I saw the entire report from my visit there in my VA file. I...

No advice on the IRILO as I was not Air Force but feel free to message me if you have any questions about hip impingement. I was medically retired for it.

Thank you for all that you do here.

I got my orders about 2 weeks after I signed my findings.

I have anxiety attacks so bad that every day I come to work covered in vomit, as my severe anxiety makes me throw up. I don’t want to go into what my chain of command does to me as they may be reading this.

Thank you for the advice. I hope I did not imply I am any more “deserving” than anyone else waiting for their separation message. I spoke with someone at my MTF, they said each week, separation orders come out in batches of TDRL and PDRL. So, if this week 15 people were put on TDRL and 13...

What did she put as your range of motion? That will determine your disability percentage.

I have multiple, bilateral serious injuries as well as serious mental health issues.

Took me about a week to go through QA.

I signed my findings on March 8th, how long does it take PERS to issue my separation/retirement orders? Is there a way to speed up the process? Navy.

Everything Provis said. I worked with a private attorney from the week I got my diagnosis and he was the key to my sanity, besides being my advocate. Don’t leave this process without Tricare for the rest of your life for you and your family.

That’s insane. Sounds like my doctor. “Nothing showed up on the MRI to cause pain *except* a labral tear and hip impingement. But nope, everything else is totally fine! No reason to be in pain over all that!” Military doctors are ridiculous, there’s no “correct” amount of pain. Are they in your...

Referred for bilateral FAI. 4 years in service AD Navy. Both NARSUM and NMA read to find me unfit, what are my chances of being found unfit?

So if the new exam says I don’t have the condition then would I get a 0% rating for it? Or would the VA side with my “good” exam?

I wonder why they needed another doctor if you already had a QTC exam?
