Its a simple question: True or False, you can be separated without benefits if you get in trouble...ONLY ONE PERSON has answered this question. If the family didn't want to know the answer, why would they ask? They are concerned people asking for the truth... which one of us is actually helping...

Mike, this isn't a service related issue, its CFR. Telling someone "everything is gonna be ok" and "the Navy don't follow the rules" are opinions. But unfortunately, there exists 38 CFR: § 3.360 Service-connected health-care eligibility of certain persons administratively discharged under...

Its whether you are looking at a punitive or non-punitive sep. If you are looking for a straight answer as to whether or not you can be processed out for discpline AFTER you have your findings, the answer is YES. The command CAN legally sep you, and it can be done rapidly. In the lower command...

Punitive Discharges block VA benefits, to include disability.

That is only based on the fact the my job is to separate people... and somewhere in the vicinity of 200 have already had ratings back, then separated for misconduct... but what do I know. Sugar-coating doesn't always make it better.

Discpline always trumps medical.

My PEBLO said the same thing... in her experience, FIT comes back in 2-3 weeks. If it is there for longer its typically UNFIT

So the whole VA review appears to be a waste of time... I got a copy of the "confidential" medical exams. So, the MSC went through the last 18 years of my medical record, identified stuff that had occurred and set up appointments. Obviously, over 18 years, I've had a few things... its funny what...

Only the portion with which you are found unfit at the DoD and VA. If you are are unfit for your back at DoD(for example), but also unfit at VA for 20% they retain the money you would get with that 20% until your severance is repaid. However, if they VA also finds that you have condition...

I just finished all of my appointments, I think. My boss gave the NMA... I think its as good as an NMA can be written. The e-benefits says "review of evidence". I dont know where the package stands as of yet--I haven't seen a NARSUM yet. I've got solid NMA and the Dr said on his portion that he...

Ya, I've seen that before... not sure how all the databases talk to eachother, but we actually promoted 3 in the last month, all LIMDU. One was held up, but it was initiated by the command, and it was after a board selection. And 18 years... no sanctuary unfortunately. That is only for failure...

No man, don't think like that. Have you seen(of course you have) some of the guys that ooze into the senior ranks? O-3 is a lock, you've got it, as long as you have a pulse at 4 years, 1 month of commissioned service. It doesn't require a board at all. Your High-3 is based on your last 36 months...

Just curious, since you are high-3 and will get 36 months of retirement at your O1E/O2E, why the concern about what grade you retire as? I'm the legacy Seaman to Admiral Program--Admiral Boorda's. I am at PEB right now, but actually just boarded for O4. Same situation. But like you, I have a...

All, I saw the VA person today who found ELEVEN different things in my record to rate (after 18 years). Apparently, I will be going to some of there doctors for some check-rides, and I wanted to get everyones thoughts. 1. I didn't realize I'd accumulated so much crap over the years 2. I'm...

Did you Dr get you anything to control the seizures? I'm right with you... diagnosed with epilepsy, but with 17.5 years active duty, hearing the same thing about going home. I'm controlled under medication so I am looking at the minimum 10% plus a severance package--no retirement. Excellent way...

I am just joining the process...a noob. I am being referred to the PEB after 17.5 years of service for PARTIAL COMPLEX SEIZURES. In looking through this site, it seems a lot of people get 20% for this. Separately, (and according to the VA), I have a hearing loss that is actually rated at...

Ya, I'm stumped too...

You are found FIT but not Worldwide Assignable as a SWO(Department Head) ? I am too senior to go to POCR Board, but too junior to retire--17 years total. Since I am FIT, but not WWA, can BUPERS now ADSEP me since I am no longer sea eligible?(they only care about your at-sea performance) ... any...
