All in all, yes. There were several claims rating lower than I believed they should have been based on medical evidence, but it would be silly for me to fight them since it wouldn't result in anything more favorable than I received. I had no claims denied. Several with 0% ratings, but they...

It's official: I'm retired as of 27 April. I received my VA Decision Letter on 1 May. It was the same as my proposed ratings. 10% DOD. VA 100% Permanent and Total. Special Monthly Compensation for Homebound (I can still work).

Things like IBS not causing a daily disturbance block checked, but the narrative stating that I have frequent and severe onset and episodes. Basically, my examiner did a good job, but he overlooked a lot of the "admin" portion of checking the correct blocks and even stated that one of my issues...

You should have received separation/retirement instructions from your PEBLO. Depending on which branch of service you're in, speak to your Military Personnel Division (or equivalent) to start the process of getting your orders. Army regs state you must be separated or on terminal leave within...

You don't need a separation physical as your MEB/VA exams will be your physical. I just contacted my installation's medical personnel and they told me this. Just do PT within your profile. If you reach a point of pain or injury, stop. But, don't give anyone a reason to try to admin separate...

Talk to your 1SG and commander to expedite getting your BC to sign. Worst-case scenario, use your BC's or CSM's open door policy and explain that you need this in order to out process in accordance with your separation instructions. I would attend the brief regardless and just explain the...

I'm sorry you're having to go through that. Yes, I have been in a unit just like that when I was enlisted. I hope for the best for you and keep moving forward.

TRANSPROC will cut the orders, MPD will get them to you from my understanding. MPD is the installation clearing house for orders issuance, I believe.

My installation MPD emailed me and said by regulation they had to cut orders within 5 days of your official notification of MEB findings. Usually, this is a day or so after your DA 199 is submitted. According to the packet MPD sent me, I have 14 days to clear from the day of notification. I...

You're very welcome for the info. I try to help others as much as I can as I know this process can be confusing and like drinking from a fire hose. That is what my MSC and personal research has told me is evidence as P&T. Nothing is final until you receive your award letter after separation...

On the second to last page on my proposed ratings packet, there's an item that states, "34. For Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, proposed eligibility to Dependents' Education Assistance under 38 U.S.C. chapter 35." Then, two paragraphs down, it states, "Basic eligibility for...

You will need to contact the VA education counselor to discuss a VR&E plan that the VA will approve. Your MSC should have (or should) give you the contact info for the VR&E counselor. I don't see why a 100% MH would preclude you from job training/education unless there's extenuating...
