I was diagnosed with Epilepsy after my deployment to Iraq by the VA and I want to start my medboard process but no one is helping me or giving me an understanding of what I need to do to initiate it. A little back story: I’m with the Maryland NG and im on my 6th year of service. I received 100%...

I have seen several past posts about specific language to include on the election form for IDES vs. LDES. I'm on the cusp of entering the DES and have an existing VA rating (100% P&T). PEBLO thinks I should elect LDES for the sake of time. I've read some compelling posts on this forum to NOT...

Hey everyone, I’m working on my CRSC claim and wanted to get some clarity about my submission. I was medically retired from the Army (ARNG) on 23 November 2016 under AR 635-40, with a 70% DoD disability rating. My condition is PTSD, which is my only service-connected disability, and it was...

I am non deployable, My Dr. has written me a letter recommending MEB. My psychologist is also writing a letter. What do I need the letters to say? I receive 70% VA...

I've been asked to make a choice between IDES and LDES. I have been looking through the forums and reddit and nothing really answers my questions. I ask this in hopes someone has already been through the process, and it reaches other in the same situation I'm in. I think we all have a general...

Hello, I am a CPT with 8 years of total service in the National Guard. I was recently diagnosed with MS but I was on state active duty when diagnosed. 3 lesions were found in my brain. In November of 2022 I was diagnosed with bells palsy while attending DINFOS at Fort Meade. My doctors said...

First question, I was discharged from USMC and wondering if or has anyone ever been able to get back in to service after getting out in a PEB put on TDRL then taken off TDRL due to a injury falling below 30%? I was taken off TDRL due to rating falling less than 30% but was never told what my...

Just a little background, I am an M-Day soldier in the Michigan National Guard(since June 2015). Previous to that I was active duty from Dec 2010 to June 2015. Feb 2020- I am informed I have arrived at a MRDP as well as considered a Non-Duty Related (NDRPEB) case because I have no LODs for my...

Will PEB find a condition service connected, if it is already rated with the VA? Husband is going through MEB, with National Guard. He has a 20 year letter and has 18 years as a Federal Technician. He currently has a 90% VA rating. He has been going through MEB for his knees (both 10% rated...

Hi All, Here's my situation. I'm an E6 in the North Carolina National Guard. I have never deployed as a Soldier with the Guard. I have worked as an AGR Recruiter (Title 32) from 2013-2015 and also 2016-2018. I left RRB both times due to Depression / Anxiety. The last time before I left I...

I have had depression and ADHD symptoms for at least 6 years. Only recently was I able to recognize the symptoms of Bipolar disorder in myself with the help of people close to me. I should have known considering my family history (my dad's entire side of the family is medicated for Bipolar, as...

I have recently been determined unfit for duty due to a non-service connected disability and I have a few questions. Back story: I was involved in a vehicle accident in which I was injured and have a non-service connected disability. I was determined unfit for duty by my State surgeon and was...

Good morning, all. I've been going through the MEB process for about a month now, having been referred for two spontaneous pneumothoraces (random lung collapse) that occurred while I was on active orders for my Guard unit. LOD and all has been taken care of, and as soon as the Chapter 3 was...

I got my MST LOD back from NGB and it was approved in the Line of Duty. Now how do I go from that to into the IDES process? Has anyone been through this process? I thought the state SARC handled this process but found out today they only do the LOD. I’ve called every special victom’s counsel...

I recently submitted an LOD for fibromyalgia pain that required an ER visit on a drill weekend. The pain was caused by the strenuous activity at Drill that day. I was told (unofficially) that the LOD was sent to NGB as NOT in the line of duty. As I have already been referred to a MEB for other...

I'm a current Guardsman prior active duty Soldier. I have 5 years in both with 2 deployments. The Guard started the IDES process on me back in February of this year once my LODs were approved. A week ago my PEBLO informed me my paperwork came back as 50% DoD rating, recommended PDRL due to...

Two gripes in this thread. First, they backdated the completion of the step to show it was completed on time. Second, I just want my orders, and it's taking forever. I previously had a 90% VA rating, so my PEB with the ARNG was going quickly (once the LOD and was finally completed - different...
