    Medically retired due to migraines. Problem fixed. Now I want to get back in. Is it possible?

    Were you put on the TDRL or PDRL? If TDRL you should be allowed to be re evaluated and get back in if the situation is resolved, but a recruiter would be a good place to start....

    Confused about retirement/VA pay

    Ok, so I'm going to assume you are an e5 or 6 over 8. Base pay around $3000. 70% DOD of that is $2100 a month. 70% VA (i saw these % in your other post) $1335 a month (if single). The problem is you cannot get both so your pension will be offset by your VA % so in this scenario you will get...

    Use of CPAP machine possible rating

    So apnea with a CPAP is a 50% rating through the VA, I received it without much hassle. I don't know a lot about cpap's though so I can't really say if they will rate it without a being diagnosed with apnea. I would absolutely file to add it to your VA claim as soon as you can and would get...

    Confused about retirement/VA pay

    There are a lot of variables to consider before you can have an answer. Active, reserve? Years of service? Rank? Rated VA conditions combat related? All of these things and probably a few more can affect how much you take home.

    Concurrent Receipt Eligibility for Traditional ANG Chapter 61 from AD

    Wow, that sounds horrible, sorry you are going through that. First thing I would do would talk to a lawyer or your VSO to see WTF, and if any kind of forgiveness or payment plan. Second I would file for CSRC immediately if you are eligible. They should backdate it to your retirement, and maybe...

    MEB Chances??

    I can try to help, 1) For the Army 1 year is the make or break. If after 1 year he will still need a profile than yes they will most likely initiate an MEB. Also if he is unlikely to improve within 1 year they will initiate an MEB as well. 2) Hard to say, every situation is different. AR...

    When do I sign NARSUM

    You do see it. The MEB sends you the Narsum. They determine if you meet retention standards by regulation, you sign and it goes to the PEB and they determine fit or unfit. The PEB decides that if you fail to meet retention whether or not can you still do your job anyway (fit/unfit).

    C&P exam write up for Radiculopathy

    You have to google VA math. You will get 10% for each leg. If you use the combined ratings table that will combine for 19%. Then you ad the bilateral which is 10% of the 19% = 1.9% for a total of 20.9. Its confusing and irritating for sure

    Concurrent Receipt Eligibility for Traditional ANG Chapter 61 from AD

    Fisher, Everything that I have found leads me to believe that you are eligible for CRDP, but can only collect it once you receive your reserve retirement at age 60 (or sooner if you qualify for the reduction of retirement age based on mobilization) However you should immediately be eligible...

    FPEB question

    Hello all, I am sending my 199 back today requesting a FPEB. My goal for this is to add my radiculopathy to my DDD as an unfitting condition. The DOD gave me 10% for my back, while the VA added 10% for each leg for the radiculopathy. I am curious if anyone out there has had success in doing...

    MEB Lawyer scared me

    I don't know about anyone being charged. I assumed it was a right that you have to file one and no one can stop you. I'm curious to know where you are? I've got a guy (MEB lawyer) out of Ft. Carson that I think sucks. Got my ratings last Friday, I've called twice and emailed the guy but...
