Hi, I received a letter from DFAS stating it would refund the taxes paid for my Disability Severance Pay if taxes were paid. How do I find out if they taxed this? It was 2010 when I separated. When filing for this it wants me to include my DD214, Separation Orders, and the letter from the VA...

So...I got my Informal Reconsideration Results back on Monday. I knew I would get an additional 10% for my back. I am now at 20% severance pay see ya later have a nice life!! LOL The two things that I'm still questioning are my plantar fasciitis, which I have apparently not been to the doctor...

I went to my first and only neurology appointment and after an hour he made some changes to my meds sent me for labs and put me in a referral for a MRI. But I still don't fall into the "unacceptable" category because I don't have migraines 2-3 times a week every week but I do have them sometimes...

I am running into some inconsistencies in AR 40-501, 3-30g. If you read the regulation it states migraines when occompanied by frequent incapacitating attacks will be referred to a neurologist... How many is frequent? The neurologist here said 2-3 a week. What have been your experiences? Have...

I am going to be rated for Chronic Right knee Pain, S/P Arthroscopic Repair x2 and Lumbar back pain. How do they usually rate that? Any ideas?:confused:

I have been a SPC for ever! I have the 350 points they give you automatically and I have been recommended for promotion but I can't go to the board because I know I can't take an APFT or qualify with my weapon not to mention I know I won't make weight/tape. My chain of command has been really...

My commander's letter was written by my Rear D commander. He had been in the unit for approx. 3 months prior to writing the 3 counselings and the statement. He wrote them all in one night!! Anyways, he states in there that I am a good soldier and complete all my tasks in a timely manner... He...

I was reading my NARSUM for the umpteenth time and every single time I read it it sound as if the doctors were not taking any of my issues very seriously. For instance, the doctor stated the obvious about my back but then in the next sentence stated has not been referred to any further pain...

I am a 74D Chemical Ops Spc. I haven't done that job for a very long time. I have been plagued with back and knee injuries that have landed me in the office as the training NCO. I have had duty limiting profiles for my back and my knee but none for my migraines. Couldn't do anything anyways so...

I have bad migraines and have been to the doctor numerous times for them and tried numerous different meds with little to no help, but still the MEB doctors seem to think they are OK and not a problem. They tell me that if they were a problem the doctors that treated me would have put me on a...

I have my second MEB evaluation tomorrow. After having a bit of help from the great people on here I am getting a second chance at my MEB! Is this going to be the same as the appointment for my Narsum? What can I expect?

I just want to say thank you to Mike for forwarding my situation to the USAPDA! I went to San Antonio today to meet with JAG for my FPEB tomorrow and he said it has been recalled! He said I had apparently talked to the right person...at first I was a bit dumbstruck wondering what on earth he was...

I have my FPEB on Tuesday and I meet with My JAG Attny on Monday. It seems like everytime I talk to him by phone he seems so doubtful and pessimistic. He only says that he knows I won't get 30% and if it were him he'd just waive the hearing and just make my money with the VA. I tried to have my...

I have pretty much made up my mind that I am going to appeal the PEB's 10% rating. UGH...that makes me mad...anyways, does anyone know what that's going to entail? Thanks

Hello All!! I need some advice!! I am currently going through a MEB/PEB for my knee. A brief history... I injured my knee in May 2005 preparing for an APFT. I tore my ACL, LCL and PLC (posterior lateral corner). I went to the Emergency Room where they did an MRI and Xrays. Everything came back...
