I should add that in the Election of Options it does, in big bold letters, say: NOTE: Changes to your DON disability rating DO NOT affect your VA disability rating. They are separate and distinct ratings. This Election of Options will not affect your VA compensation or other VA benefits...

This actually brings me to the commentary of the findings. They mainly said that the documentation from the VA was inconsistent with what the examiner said (different story, but she wasn't the most welcoming and receptive to what I said my symptoms were). I think the nail in the coffin my...

Was 70% DOD/VA 100% P&T. Had my reevaluation a couple weeks ago and my findings indicate a reduction from 70 TDRL to 30 PDRL (1 condition, MH). I'm not necessarily upset since it still is medical retirement and the offset makes me receive the VA compensation. But without a doubt my biggest...

Hello all, I retired last year June of 2021 and was put on TDRL (70% DOD, 100% P&T VA). I got the phone call for a reevaluation of my condition (MH) two days ago (almost exactly 18 months later). Just wanted some clarification on some things. 1. I've searched past threads and generally the...

Hi everyone, I'm just starting terminal leave and was wondering if anyone has been successful in claiming SSDI just for backpay purposes with the Wounded Warrior option? As in, I don't want to receive now or in the near future since I am planning on going back to school this semester. I've...

With VR&E, is it the same process of applying online via eBenefits? I applied about 4 weeks ago and still received a phone call and notification saying a "VA Liaison" will contact me in the next few days. Though If that liaison is part of VR&E or VA healthcare?

Update. Chief informed me that my separation date will 27JUN21. Looks like it is around the 90 day mark +/- a day or two. Also was granted 20 days of PTDY. Though from my understanding that is up to the command.

I've posted a couple of times on the forum asking for help so I thought I would help out by posting a timeline. 31AUG20 Got call from MEBLO for initial signing of referred condition. 01SEP20 meeting with MEBLO, signed for "Military Treatment Facility Provider Referral. 02SEP20 received legal...

Thank you, After clarifying with my attorney and confirming that my 100 Proposed rating is P&T due to chapter 35 eligibility, she advised me to refrain from mentioning the sleep apnea. Worst comes to worse and my 100 changes to not P&T, she said to just file a new claim once I am out so long it...

Definitely still confused, and unfortunately I'm having trouble getting in contact with my attorney at the moment. I'm concerned since I saw the copy of my decision and saw that they decreased my shin splints to 0% once the PEB sent it to the VA, a change from the original rating of 10% when I...

Thank you, I will speak with my attorney again regarding this. Also, I noticed in the copy of my proposed ratings, that Chapter 35 benefits were "proposed as evidence shows your disabilities are permanent and total by nature." It does not say "P&T" anywhere else, anyone have an idea of what...

Hello everyone. My proposed findings came back and I went over them with my attorney. Currently sitting at 70% TDRL (mental health) and 100% VA, Not P&T. However when we were reviewing the findings we noticed that my Sleep Apnea rating was not included in the total. (Sleep apnea W/ CPAP, did...

Hello everyone, Couple of questions that my PEBLO hasn't answered . (Doesn't answer voicemails and am never able to reach him during normal working hours since I am at work.) I am being med boarded for "other reactions to severe stress" [mental health] 1. Finished my C&P exams two weeks ago...

I've been a lurker since my 2nd LIMDU process started since by then my therapist was already bringing up MEB. What qualifies as a misconduct but still unfit? I'm a little concerned over this since this would be close to my situation. In short, over a year ago I had an NJP and got max punishment...
