Hello everyone. Been reading lots of threads but my unique situation, I'm finding it hard to get a warm and fuzzy. I served for regular Army active duty for 9 years. Now in the Guard for about 2 years. Of those 2 on 1 year active as ADSW. My Phsyciatrist is initiating my MEB due to PTSD with panic attacks, anxiety, depression and so on. I also have many many other problems all in which occured on Active Duty reg Army with my body that are documented from prior active service med recs and also currently at an Air Force MTF from re aggrevation. Am I to forsee a nasty fight from the Guard. I have tons of documentation of my doctor visits over the years. Buy the National Guard will only get the most recent from Air Force MTF. Any guidance and advice would be appreciated. Plus my orders end soon. Can they just kick me off orders pending MEB?
ADSW in need of help, going thru an MEB soon

Peash,
I was on various ADSW/ADOS orders (all Title 32) when I had a heart attack on Oct 2009. My supervisor immediately initiated my LOD and had my portion of the papers for me to sign before I was discharged from the hospital. He fought hard to keep me on orders, but "funding" ran out and my orders expired in Apr 2010.
Fit For Duty (FFD) Exam was done in Feb 2010. MEB, PEB, etc ........ VA Rating award letter received in Dec 2010. Just received DA 199 from PEB last week = 100% PDRL.
Orders/Final release from military - who knows?
Sorry to ramble, but wanted to give you my background so you know I'm giving it to you straight.
Orders - expect them to end. ADME? - good luck with that (Perhaps it is different if you are Title 10?)
INCAP - OK, but like pulling the teeth of a Rottweiler chasing you down the street
FFD - BRING ALL DOCUMENTATION FROM CIVILIAN DOCTORS! The military MD's were appreciative that I had my battle book chock full with every scrap of paper from hospital discharge papers to letters from my civilian MDs giving me the results of my tests. It helped them to fill in all the gaps and accurately complete the paperwork which would be later looked at by the boards. I also had a monthly calendar with every appointment listed.
PEBLO - stay in close contact with this person. He/She will ensure you cross all the T's and dot all the I's to complete your packet.
Bottom Line: The VA gave the effective date of my rating as the day after I was released from orders (with back-pay). Keep in mind that payments from the VA are offset by military pay (ie: drill pay, AT, INCAP).
You are wise to expect a fight. Study the Regs and the tons of info on this site.
Kudos to Jason for the single most valuable source of information I have found. (And I have spent months scouring the web for anything I could get my hands on!)
You may not find every answer on this site, but you will find most and otherwise be steered in the right direction.

Thanks for the kudos!
A comment. I think that any reservist injured on orders of 30 days or more is entitled to pay and allowances (which, I think, results in the issuance of orders until a MEB/PEB is complete).
Here is the authority:
37 U.S.C. § 204. "Entitlement
...(g)
(1) A member of a reserve component of a uniformed service is entitled to the pay and allowances provided by law or regulation for a member of a regular component of a uniformed service of corresponding grade and length of service whenever such member is physically disabled as the result of an injury, illness, or disease incurred or aggravated—
(A) in line of duty while performing active duty;"
Thanks for the kudos!
