Side note- My Anxiety Disorder and Insomia were lumped together, not seperated. On the paperwork, the VA explained stating that Insomnia is a symptom of the Anxiety Disorder and not a seperate issue, even though I'm being treated for two different diagnoses. The initial rating was 30%, but it...

What is the definition of an "adjustment disorder"? I've been diagnosed and referred to PEB for Anxiety Disorder. It's described as "trauma related" Anxiety, but "not meeting the DSM -IV criteria for a full PTSD diagnosis." Just curious how this will be looked at by the PEB.

Dental Doc, SWO here :) Where are you located? Did they offer you access to a PEB trained JAG when you got these results? If not, I have the name/number of a good one at Portsmouth, VA that I could pass on to you. At the least, he could refer you to one closer to you. Send me a PM if I...

HICE, I suggest making an appointment to see your PEBLO and brining this informaiton and documentation to them. Best, Green

Please note- The 202-685-6419 number is for Navy/Marine Corps Personnel only.

Klam, I'm still following and offer my hopes and prayers that this situation is rectified. Keep as positive as you can and keep fighting. Use those lawyers, they are there to help you, too. Keep us posted! Best, Green

Also, imminent death cases are referred to as "fast tracks".

Birchtx, I am in a similar position. Two BCA Failures concurrent with my MEB/PEB process. I would suggest going to see a JAG to discuss how the two processes will turn out, side by side. Check when your Legal Services Office has walk in/ sign up appointments. What base are you at...

Chay- You want to make sure that all paperwork is accurate. If the NARSUM states "member is not a threat to himself or others," then that is what the Board sees. If that is an inaccurate statement, I would insist on a second opinion/impartial review. If your husband does not agree with the...

Congrats on getting your findings. :) Could you share with us the break down of your conditions and the numeric value they gave them?

CNS- Have you looked into Social Security Disability? Best, Green

CJ, For the Navy- I've seen three Officers at my command get found "FIT for duty" by the PEB, closing out their PEB case. Then, they were screened for sea duty and found unfit for sea duty. With this, PERS came down with findings that they could not remain 1110, SWOs, and had to change...

Alibs, Thanks...that make me relax more! Yes, I'm in the PEB process, with my package being in DC since November 18. I'll keep looking for a referance (or maybe someone else can point me in the right direction?). Or, I can always do a walk in to Navy Legal. Best of luck to you!

Hello, I can't find a clear answer and am looking for some help. While in the PEB process, can you be Administratively Seperated, specifically for PFA Failure? Any help/referances would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm Active Duty Navy, IDES, with my VA portion being rated out of Providence RI. My "Review of Evidence" stage took from mid September until 18 JAN. So, approx 4 months.

Apologies. When was your PEB package submitted? I'm Navy as well, and on a timeline about 5 weeks behind you.

Anyone familiar with MedBOLTT, Navy's online tracking system? I just learned about it today, but can't find any concrete information.

You initiate the process through the Limited Duty Coordinator at your command.

When was your package submitted?

Susan, Actually, this all sounds like good news...as in you're getting closer to the end. My package has been with the PEB since 18 NOV. It sounds like they are preparring your Unfit Letter, with ratings, and all in one "Findings" Letter. Where are you being treated? I'm being treated...
