    Title 32 Technician Medical Retirement Scenarios (Please limit posts to "Technician Medical Retirements")

    Like Josh said it probably worth it to try to get the medical retirement. I also had 90 % VA and they still denied that it was linked to service. I was in a bad situation and it was literally taking me years to get out so I just took non duty medical because didn't get much of a choice. Dual...

    Air National Guard LOD denied

    Thanks, I'm trying to figure out what I should put in it as I'm not really sure what they went off the first time. Should I submit the paperwork that states the reason for the denial or do they have that or would it hurt my case? Should I send the VA rating determination for the same condition...

    When I went the public law route it was with HR. They had me sign a form waiving my right to appeal disability retirement to go straight to the public law after the DR denial. I had a hard time doing that but I just praying that HR was right. I don't know that you should do that in your...

    The PL 97-253 is regulations that guide OPM on what to do. As far as I know there is no form. But something to think about is you might be eligible for the FERS annuity supplement. That supplement pay a percentage of what you would get from social security. That is if you don't go the...

    OPM and army benefits center needed the military orders stating I was being retired from the military due to not meeting medical retention status which is the driving factor for the special provisions. Along with the other forms that HR has you fill out that document medical conditions.

    Huh they never told me about that. I've never talked with anyone who medically retired and they found a different position for them. I was told every few years on normal medical retirement they may require medical records showing the condition has not improved. The process for me was completed...

    My HR sent my paperwork in. I was told OPM would process it as normal disability retirement and it would be denied and be processed as public law disability which is better because OPM doesn't have you do follow ups to see if you have recovered. It went like that for me, I was denied the first...

    I believe what Jesusej19 is saying but Army Benefits Center missed that mine said I was being separated not retired. It really does suck for you I understand how frustrating this process can be. I would really put some effort in to make sure you're not being screwed over. No one will care as...

    I believe you are right. Military time doesn't count when bought back to meet the minimum time requirements. I think you are supposed to get the disability retirement. I would think proving it should be easy enough with the regulations printed off.

    No it doesn't give you that amount but it does give the high 3 pay number they use. So you can just multiply the high 3 x .80= the amount that can be made. I had been wondering that also I knew a rough estimate but not the exact number they used. I have a question will the amount go up with...

    Hello, in my case I didn't get my approval of DR or intriem pay. When I called OPM it never went anywhere. If you haven't received an approval a month or two after the OPM denial you should call the army benefits center they will be more helpful than OPM.
