I've been at this for 11 months now and finally I'm only waiting for my official retirement message to come back so I can bounce, but from my experience so far, PEBLO's don't know shit. They submit your packages and can tell you after x amount of months that you have been found unfit and that's...

Well ended up I didn't have to do the FPEB since they fucked up my findings from the beginning and my lawyer submitted a reconsideration of findings and literally the next day I was notified that I was being retired. But in preparation for the board I had to get range of motion tests done, all...

So I am currently in the same exact situation. My FPEB is next week and my OJAG only asked me to prepare Witness statements and range of motion tests. He felt my case was strong enough as it is to get at least 30%. When I received my findings, the PEB actually rated my radiculopathy as a CAT 1...

I have tried every setting, and my doctor had a Medtronic representative come in and adjust things. I think the issue is the lead might have moved around since I don't feel the sensation where I am suppose to feel it. I can't have that fixed until my board is complete. I'm hoping a second...

I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Non Obstructive Bladder, and I had the Interstim put in and it doesn't help me at all so self catheterization is in my future. I also got a 0% rating for Voiding dysfunction even though my bladder is essentially dead. I am actually probably going to have a second...

I went for the same condition plus radiculopathy, and only received 20%. Should of been 30 or 40 but they didn't separate Interv. Disc and radiculopathy but combined them ( both unfitting conditions) Be aware of that. I requested formal board and still am waiting for that. You will likely only...

Thanks for the reply! Still no contact w/ counsel. I am waiting for a FPEB date and to find out who is appointed to me. Is the idea of my attorney requesting a reconsideration a real possibility? If so that would be awesome because honestly idk how much more evidence I can gather for my case.

My findings came back unfavorable. 20% DoD and 60% VA. My lawyer obviously suggested I now proceed to the Formal Board Process. In his review of my findings, regardless of only getting 20% DoD, in a comments section it said "TDRL as symptoms may change" also it stated my condition may be...

I was recently found Unfit with 20% DoD and 60% VA. I've yet to review my findings but unfitting condition is likely intervertebral disc L5-S1.Since time is of the essence I'm considering just taking the severance and moving on with my life. That being said, before I make such a decision I have...

Married and gonna have children, need health care for all. Idc about compensation and retirement pay, just healthcare

Well even though Im yet to talk to them about options, the only thing I want to push for retirement is keeping tri care and I simply cant fathom another 6 months potentially sitting around here waiting on the possibility of adding 10%. I got medevacd out of a "combat zone" to have back surgery...

Just got the call in regards to my ratings, I got 20% DoD and 60% VA. Super pissed and unsure what to do. I don't know any more then this until Tuesday when I talk to these people. What exactly am I gonna be loosing if I accept separation vs retirement? Is it worth appealing for 10% that I might...

My package was with the VA for 70 days before it got sent back to the PEB on December 1st. Still waiting for finalized ratings. I can barley understand my Peblo when she talks but She told me any day now the other day but I'm totally expecting at least another month. Also I have taken every...

VA wont fax me anything, Said it was sent to PEBLO, PEBLO says she doesn't have proposed VA ratings. Thanks for the info, just gotta buckle down and wait I guess.

Not deployed, LIMDU and Shore duty. I'll call and see what they can do.

Can proposed ratings be revealed over the phone or via email? I don't really want to have anything faxed to my command and I don't really have any other means of receiving fax's that I know about? 50 days is brutal, My PEBLO told me any day now but I know better then to believe that.

I'm new here, so does anyone have an idea of what VA to PEB timeline may look like these days if my Proposed VA ratings were sent back to the PEB December 1st?? I've been in this process for 7 months now at NMCSD. Also is it true that after 10 days the VA can tell you your proposed ratings over...
