How long has everyone been waiting for their fit/unfit decision and ratings from the IPEB? For the Air Force I hear that they are super backed up. My stuff was sent to IPEB 28 September so tomorrow will be 45 days for me. Initially, my PEBLO said average was 45 days but now she is saying they...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. A few years ago I was involved in an accident on base (Work related) that lead to a broken femur and a shattered foot. I broke 5 metatarsals. 1 dislocated/broken, 2 and 3 were broken into pieces and the 4th and 5th were compound fractures. I have a long...

So here's the story, I injured my back during a deployment back in beginning of 2014. I was pulling out a component that’s pretty heavy (don't know the actual weight, maybe 50lbs or more). Its rack mounted, but got suck diagonally between the rails. (Keep in mind that this part is located in a...

I received this email today from my medical station that is processing my LOD appeal. This does not seem to be legitimate as I have NEVER heard of active duty medical record being considered "administrative LOD". It seems like they are trying to bypass me from going through an MEB and trying to...

So, long story short, there is a lot of tension between my unit commander and I. I mean, aloooot of bad blood. I won't go into much detail, but she wrote a negative, sloppily written (different fonts and font sizes), typo-filled, CC letter in a passive aggressive attempt at retaliating against...

I have been denied an LOD with the remarks of "Existed prior to Service - LOD N/A." However the DOD Instruction 1332.18 Prior service impairment covers this portion of my claim due to me being a prior service member. I have an extensive medical record during my active duty term where I...

I've been in the Air Force for 10 years as of next month and I received my ratings today; 10% DoD, 90% VA. I previously went through a full med board and was returned to duty about 4 years ago. Considering what's going on with me health wise, I'm surprised that they're only offering 10% for...

So my husband is very concerned and is not getting many answers on his fate. A little back story... He's got 8yrs AD wth the AF and did the Palace Chase for his remaining 2 years left of his AD enlistment to transfer to the Air National Guard serving a minimum of 4 years. He is now past that...

Hello, this is my first time posting on here so please excuse me if I am not informative enough in my post. I have had an allergy (level 3 contact dermatitis) nickel for as long as I can remember. I joined the Air Force back in January and if I recall correctly I disclosed this to my recruiter...

I am currently going through a world wide qualification medical evaluation through the Air Force reserve. I recently separated from Active Duty, Dec 2014, due to having debilitating migraines, but I separated early into the reserve so that I could still provide medical insurance for my family. I...
