    VARR question

    Hi all. Sorry if this is a sort of silly question. I think I know the answer but I want to verify. If you request a VARR, and the VA accepts it and agrees to increase your percentage, does that mean your DOD percentage will automatically increase too for that referred condition? I did a VARR for...

    Appeal Avenues

    What appeal avenues are available if someone wants to stay in the Air Force but has been found unfit and was given VA ratings, etc. Do they have a method to appeal just for staying in? I'm asking for one of my E-6's that has been in for 14.5 years. She can do her job but they still MEB'd her.

    Looking for advice with appeal

    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...

    Should my husband appeal?

    My husband just received his ratings as 50 / 70. Based on his NARSUM and the way it was written, we were expecting the DOD portion to be at least 70%, as it read verbatim with the 70. His referring condition was PTSD, but he also had approximately 20 other issues listed on the VA side. He also...

    NARSUM Appeal

    I'm currently going through a MEB for hypersomnia. So far, this process has been a complete mess. My profile was written for sleep apnea, and I wasn't able to get it corrected until after my C&P exams were completed. Therefore my NARSUM states that I was filing for Hypersomnia and VA...
