Howdy everybody, On New Year's Day I submitted a BDD claim for sleep apnea(was advised by a VA rating specialist who called). This BDD claim for sleep apnea has since been closed even though the "received date" is in May 2024. During this time it would appear my IDES claim rating percentage have...

Happy New Year, I wanted to see what was the process of filing a new VA claim while undergoing IDES. I finished all my exams with the VA and my case is at the PEB level. Can I file a new claim for a recently diagnosed medical condition(sleep apnea) while still being in PEB? This diagnosis...

I recently separated last month, And I was just wondering how long it took for some of you to receive your VA pay after your separation from med board. Haven’t seen any movement on my VA App yet and hoping that it kicks in within two months.

Hello everyone, I am a USMC veteran. I separated in September, 2018. I have a service-connected disability for only PTSD of 100% P&T (through the VA) I am discharged with an honorable. I submitted form DD-149 to BCNR. I should have at least been looked at for a MED review because I have on my...

I called the VA because it showed that I had received a letter but couldn't see it on the app, they sent me one through the email, opened it up and saw the so called "Proposed rating" .. How likely is it that the rating will change to more or less once my PEBLO calls me up to sign ?? Also I...

Hi Everyone, Sorry for the long post but this is very important to every veteran and their families and it's way past time for the VA to stop screwing veterans over on this. We are not asking for donations, only your signature to show support to our senators. Thanks in advance! Petition Link...

If VA says case is "with a rater" does this mean technically you have been found unfit? I have been told the VA rater doesn't view your case until AFTER the ipeb has found you UNFIT. Any info is appreciated.

Today I want to discuss the VA’s VR&E program, or Chapter 31 Benefits. If you aren’t familiar with it, here is the link: Veteran Readiness and Employment (Chapter 31) | Veterans Affairs Bottomline, if you are in the IDES process, you are 100% eligible for this program no questions asked. You...

I wanted to provide some lessons learned and resources to those going through the IDES process to either make their transition a bit easier or facilitate resolutions to some common issues that arise during the process. 1) Career Readiness: If you don’t know what Operation Warfighter is, you...

Good Afternoon Everybody, I’m a new user but have been reading these forums religiously since starting my medboard process back in September. I’ve seen countless people on here discuss getting their preliminary ratings well before getting their 199. However, I’ve been told by both my MSC and...

Hello and thank you all who reply. I'm going through the IDES and on my cliam it says " snoring without apnea, requires oral appliance. NOW I have actually been diagnosed with sleep apnea and require the use of a cpap. I have the sleep study and my pcm's notes on it stating my diagnoses. All I...

okay so my MEB process started Jan 12 2019. My last appointment with the VA 4 JUNE 2019. My PEBLO told me the VA hasn’t updated my stuff since 23 MAY 2019!! What the heck!? He said “I’ll give them an email” (this was on Monday). I’m just frustrated. can I contact the VA myself and see what the...

I sit here right now, not just as a veteran myself but the wife of an infantry soldier that has been done so wrong, i physically shake as i type this. Husband is on active duty 4 years, infantry soldier, Korea, Iraq for 15 months. Demobs from Iraq and he clearly has seen some very bad things...

Quick question. My husband is currently waiting to go to the VA (we're in Korea, so it's taking a bit of time to get him to Travis AFB, CA in order to make the appts), but we keep reading on here about people checking updates on the eBenefits website. His eBenefits doesn't show anything (it...

I wasn't sure where to place this. We are getting conflicting information regarding my husband's upcoming VA appts for his ratings. We are currently stationed in South Korea (Osan) and were told originally that I would be able to travel with him to those appointments, via the Non-Medical...

I hope this post is allowed, if not please delete. I am writing to this forum and other medias about the grass roots veterans movement to convince President-Elect Trump to select Commander John B. Wells, USN Retired as the next Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Movement Wants a Veteran as VA...

Is there someone I can contact to help me? I was involuntarily separated through PEB in 2011 and my DD214 says in box 28 Disability combat related conditions simulating war, severance pay. Box 26 says separation code: JFI. Am I correct that the VA was not supposed to recoup my severence pay...

I was denied my medical claim increase for cardiomyopathy and gall bladder removal. Currently I am 90 percent. My cardio was 60 but reduced to 30 and my back was increased to 40 from 10 percent so basically I didn't lose any money from my VA Payments....pay stays the same. They denied my gall...
