    PDRL but DFAS shows TDRL?

    Hi all, I've been medically retired since October of last year. I was PDRL from the start. I logged in to DFAS to print out some tax info and they have me listed as TDRL with an expiration date of 2020. I've never been TDRL. Has this happened to anyone else? My DD214 is correct as well as all...

    VA Award Letter Question

    I'm already finished and retired last month. But your advice has been really helpful. I'll be going on to ebenefits today and seeing what's required. Thanks so much, Chaplain Charlie!

    VA Award Letter Question

    That's good to know. I'll have to look up what I need to file the appeal on ebenefits. Additional evidence or whatever. It's odd because my original letter from my PCM who initiated the meb written as permanent in nature. Even the CP exam doc wrote the prognosis as "guarded". Since it's only...

    VA Award Letter Question

    I'm going to have to look into how I do that. I don't want to open myself up to going through the entire c&p process again. I'll try to figure out how to only appeal for P&T reconsideration.

    VA Award Letter Question

    Thanks! To be honest, I'm pretty happy with what I have. I'll still try to submit for P&T, but if I don't get it, it's ok. :)

    VA Award Letter Question

    Got my official letter from the VA today. They say it's got a chance for improvement and I'm subject to future exams. If there was a cure discovered over the last week, I'm sure I missed the memo.

    VA Award Letter Question

    I'm going to assume it's "no" since my letter in ebenefits specifically says no, but I'm hoping to get the VA letter in the mail this week. Unless it says otherwise, I guess I'm out of luck. I'll post what I find out!

    VA Award Letter Question

    Thanks for the reply, chaplain. In the state of Virginia, VA 100% P&T vs just 100% without P&T is the difference between paying property taxes and not paying property taxes. I realize that it'll be what it is, and hopefully I'll be able to appeal to have the rating changed to permanent as well...

    VA Award Letter Question

    I signed my 356 which said 100 P&T, but my MSC didn't tell me anything. Apparently the actual VA ratings don't get completed until after you're already out. So I'm not sure what the MSC would have told me if anything, since it wasn't complete yet. The letter my PEBLO got (from the VA) also said...

    VA Award Letter Question

    I know they are two separate things. So if the VA says temporary, and take it all away (from 100% now to 0%) what happens to the DoD rating? Do they take away my retirement and put me back on active duty? If it was going to be temporary, why would the DoD say permanent when they go off the VA...

    VA Award Letter Question

    Hi again, so the good news it that I now have all the letters. The bad news is that even though I was rated P&T for DoD, and I thought I was rated P&T for VA, it says "NO" for my letters for P&T. Is there a mistake? I am anxiously awaiting the letter from the VA via snail mail to hopefully get...

    Permanent Disability Retirement

    Hi there, I uploaded my DD214 to the VA a couple days ago and I'm really hoping the eligibility letters are updated quickly. Did you ever get yours? If so, do you remember how long it took? Thanks!

    Well, mine was a little less than a month. I would think you'll hear something soon! The waiting...

    Well, mine was a little less than a month. I would think you'll hear something soon! The waiting is horrible, isn't it??

    VA Disability Award Letter? Payment question!

    Good to know. Right now I'm more concerned about the letter as we are buying a house and need it to prove eligibility for the various mortgage benefits. Hopefully my letter comes quickly after I get my DD214. Thanks again for the info!

    VA Disability Award Letter? Payment question!

    Awesome. By chance, was your letter available sooner than that or did it show up at the same time as the pay? I'm really hoping I can generate my VA letter quickly after my actual retirement date. I intend to upload my DD214 the moment it comes through.

    Permanent Disability Retirement

    That's good to know! I'll keep an eye out for it as my actual date approaches. I do have a user name and password for vmpf. I just hope it works when I need it. Haha!

    Permanent Disability Retirement

    How long did it take to get your DD214? I'm on terminal leave now and got the worksheet at my final out. But I am wondering if I won't get the completed form until my actual retirement date? I am hoping to be able to send it to the VA so I can generate the eligibility letters.
