Hopefully it is 1-5 months or so...hoping for 2 months at most.....he has plenty of documents for his conditions...and lots of medical files to back it up.

I know this is probably an "old song" by now around here but my husband finished the IDES process in late August and signed his forms in September of this year; he officially medically retired last month. How long (typically) does it take from the end of the IDES process to get anything...

Just to add our experience with this.. my husband applied for SSDI (wounded warrior ) last spring...was never contacted by the local social security office after he sent his medical release form but got a letter saying he was denied (no reason given either). Went in person and talked to...

We live more than 40 minutes from one and they only do space-available for retirees so we are now seeing civilian providers.

Hopefully SFAC can get us through this week. I made a tentative appt. at Luke AFB for after we move just in case though. I'll ask SFAC about the Tricare too. Thank you so much for the help.

My husband was never put in a WTU or even designated a WTU soldier so can we still use the SFAC? I called Tricare and they said we can't switch to Prime Retiree until our DEERS information is reflected (last date) or else it will cause a lot of issues. So we can hold on that because I'm...

What does SFAC stand for? Does my husband have to bring in his medical separation memo in order to show DEERS that we need the AD IDs (so they don't change our status before they have to...the PEBLO warned us on that part)? Thank you for the clarification. I really appreciate the help but...

If he isn't promotable (from what he was told last week) and they won't add him to the AIP either, do they still have to put the points on the ERB? SO if his discharge date is 4 December, would that be his new ETS date AND his last date on active duty? Sorry if I'm confusing. These changes in...

Okay, thanks for the information.

HE was told he has to sell two days back. He tried to put his promotion points on his ERB (he's not on any list though) and they denied it because he isn't promotable. We are just both really confused and no one is giving straight answers either. I had asked him to talk to his PEBLO...

Thank you so much for this. It answers some things. My husband was told that he would not be promoted because he has less than 90 days out (I think it's including his terminal leave; his date of discharge is 4 Dec of this year). However, his 1SGT (who has been TDY/deployed or something) just...

I believe he is basing it on the automatic promotion list. He is a star MOS, primary zone and his points for his next rank are only 14. He has well over 14 points, no question there. It just seems his command refuses to give him the chance to go to the board. Dh's 1sgt and CSM have known...

I posted before regarding my husband's formal PEB and his MEB process... We went to his formal PEB (paid out of pocket for me to attend) and he was given 30% from the board. We are just waiting for his D199 to be returned with the formal rating; the VA ratings were fine as they were. However...

No, he really hasn't done much but wait for someone to call him....he sought legal counsel when he began the process but that's it.. Yet Ft. Huachuca keeps sending him e-mails to become a civilian instructor there, lol. Oh well, at least I asked. Army: herniated disc (L5-S1) on his spine...

My husband was at JBB in Iraq from 08 to 09 and his former unit has no records of him being in the area which doesn't help his case with the VA (he was sent from Kuwait into Iraq with a small group; the rest of his unit stayed in Kuwait). He now has exercise induced asthma and was one of those...

My husband has been in over 6 years now (his 7 year mark is in this upcoming July) and he was given the informal PEB hearing results. They only rated him 10% for the Army without his bilateral shoulders findings from his ortho and now he wants to request a formal PEB hearing. The VA ratings...

Thank you for the information. Which process would be initiated first, the MEB or the PEB? Also, would my husband stay with his current unit or be moved to the WTU during the whole process of MEB/PEB?

We've also heard the VFW is helpful in these situations. Is that true?

Thank you for the information. My answers are in blue.

Good evening, My husband is facing a MEB & it is something that we didn't expect. It's very overwhelming for me as we just PCSed here 3 months or so ago. What does he need besides his medical history? How does the evaluation/MEB process go? We are hoping for retirement but not sure since...
