This makes sense! Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify.

Thanks for responding! I am so sorry I just saw this. The code is SEJ

Hey there! I was looking at my DD214 this evening and I noticed that on the Member 4 copy it states: Disability, Permanent (Enhanced) under block 28 for the narrative reason for separation. What does this mean? A quick Google search has indicated that it means my disability was the result of...

Luckily my Commander went ahead and approved 30 days of conleave after I asked my PEBLOs supervisor to contact him directly. My PEBLO team said that if I don't have my orders by the 30 day mark that they would contact the Hospital Commander directly to have my conleave extended.

It's okay. They denied my conleave. :( They said it wasn't exactly appropriate for my situation and that this real problem was that they needed to just rush my orders. I told him that they were backlogged. He said he was going to try to make some phone calls but I did not get the impression that...

Thanks for your response, Keebs! For your conleave, did you go to a military medical facility and request the conleave through a doctor there?

Hello all! I have already received my proposed VA ratings (100%) and DOD (90%). I was rated at 50% for anxiety/panic attacks/depression as part of my rating. Because I am an AGR Soldier my unit still expects me to perform to standard (there are only two of us supporting and entire unit of 150...

Hey rj - I'm happy to hear that the PEB finally determined your fitness for duty. I'm glad your PEBLO took initiative to figure out what was going on. As for me, my status on vets.gov now states that their decision has been made and they mailed me their proposed percentages. Of course, I do...

Unfortunately I have to disagree with Sapper. I am a full-time HR SGT and I cant tell you how many Soldiers have gotten screwed because of this. Without a profile you are unprotected. I suggest you do the following: 1-Email your profile packet to: [email protected]...

The IDES dashboard updates once every week early on Tuesday mornings. Last I checked, I somehow have already made it through the IPEB and am currently in the VA ratings portion. I was shocked when I saw this because it was such a quick turnaround. I am anxious to look at the dashboard this...

I'm telling you! These ombudsman have Harry Potter-esque magic wands. They just "swish and flick!" (sorry if you're not a Harry Potter enthusiast - but if you are, you should get that quote, haha). I would really like to know more about these magical people. I can't tell you how many times I...

GoFlyMike: Congratulations!!!! This is absolutely excellent news and I try to live by the "everything happens for a reason" ideology. It seems, that specifically in your case, the re-do of exams was most certainly in your favor. 80% and a fresh new start at life and health without the...

Oh my. You must have been on a very high dose of Cymbalta. I do not envy the journey you are currently going through. I had tapered down from a much lower dose. So... GOOD LUCK! Fingers crossed you hear something from the ombudsman today. I know they are usually really good and staying on top...

Sorry for typos. Typed on phone.

Mcsquared: It really does makes you question how competent many of these doctors are. I've had experience with both types but it seems to me that there needs to be significantly more research focused on autoimmune diseases. - You could be right about the swelling, In just worried that a...

Goflymike - The last sentence of your response really hit home. You're right, and I have been forgetting that. I need to put that much emphasis on ensuring that I continue to take the meds. I suppose there is a small part of me that feels like food can be used as medicine to heal auto-immune...

mcsquared - I feel like you have a solid case at this point for contacting the ombudsman; especially considering the fact that other Soldiers have entered and exited the process in the time you have been waiting. I lived in North Carolina for a short period and I could not fathom living there...

Hey there - I am quite unhappy about the way your process has gone so far. I really think that you should get an OMBUDSMAN involved. Especially considering the severity of your health condition. If I were in your shoes, I probably would have contacted them a week or so ago. There is really no...

I suppose the best I could hope for is to have orders before Christmas. What a terrible time to move. Hah! In fact, my last three PCS's took place either the week before or after Christmas so I suppose it wouldn't make sense for the cycle to break now :) Thanks for the info onve again, Smoke!

Received my NARSUM today and signed all necessary documentation within the hour. My PEBLO said I should hear from them in three months. I hope it doesn't take that long but I suppose we shall see!
