AGR Then "waiver" To DSG Cluster....

Are you in a military leave status?
 
Crap, we'll USSERA goes out the window then. You could start with unemployment and then hire a lawyer to work on getting you VA Individual Unemployablity. This gets you extra compensation and opens up the door for social security stuff.
 
Timeline as of today:
Active Guard Reserve 1 May 2008 - 15 Oct 2018

NO LOD's Completed

8 Jan 2017 - AF Form 469 - Code 31 - Mobility restricted
3 Mar 2017 - AF Form 469 - Code 37 - MEB Processing? - IRILO
Early October 2017 - Commander's impact statement says retain can do duty position
about 17 Oct 2017 - Fit for Duty ALC Code C-2 per NGB/SG the non-deployable
16 Nov 2017 - new 469 Generated with non-deployable ALC code c-2
30 Nov 2017 - Referral EPR rated 2 closed out stating I'm incongruent to standards, and making mistakes and not adhering to AFI 36-2903 (so If I can do my job why are you telling me I'm not)
15 March 2018 - Notified by Commander I am non-selected to retain my AGR position with my orders ending 15 October 2018 - no reasoning given other than the LOR's and LOC's they have been slapping me with for being human after 2 big family losses (I was targeted) Total Active Service 15 Yrs 4 Months 7 Days.
13 Jun 18 - Due to changes in medical conditions and medications a new IRILO is completed. Fit for duty again from NGB/SG. updated to non-deployable ALC Code C-3
15 Oct 2018 - AGR tour ended

DSG

16 Oct 18 - Kept on as DSG (Drill status Guardsman) since I had to relocate for work and family i have to fly back round trip on my dime every 3 months to work in an environment with the perps...
Performed Quarterly UTA end of November-beginning of Dec 2018 - Very hard to focus and concentrate, anxiety attacks while in the office, and cant wait to ETS out in April with 17 Good Guard years because I obviously cannot handle it anymore.
28 Dec 2018 - Awarded 70% VA disability for my conditions. now pretty much I will now not get paid at all for attending these quarterly Drills.... at least it's only until April right?
End Of Feb - Beginning of March 2019 - supposed to be my last UTA. during my out-processing from the wing command chief and on down no one would approve me ETSing out. Promises made for cross training to get me out of the toxic environment, so DA Me Re-enlisted for 1 more year.
May 2019 - MRI of my spine and sleep study proving the presence of sleep apnea and a need for a CPAP has now increased my VA rating to 90%
May-June Quarterly UTA 2019 - Medical wants updated paperwork to do annual resubmission of the RILO. VA is very hesitant, and takes forever to get me to the right specialists to get the records the Medical group wants. Finally accomplished in August 2019 (while I'm going through some severe personal issues that makes matters worse)
21 Aug 2019 - Received a Statement of selection letter (non-duty DES) for rights to separate or be referred to the DES for fitness determination only..(WTF this all happened while I was on AGR status!!!)
22 Aug 2019 - new AF 469 accomplished Code 37 MR and FR
27 Aug 2019 - Received new impact statement to review - This one states do not retain.... yay!.... wait a min what is this? Section V of the AF 1185 states I was not in a military status when my conditions were Identified or originated, and that I had the conditions prior to me joining the ANG????? um no... this all started happening in 2015, and the last impact statement stated I was on orders so my comments below:

Note: Block V No. 1 Should be Yes and AGR orders 1 May 2008 - 15 October 2018 resulting in non-retain on AGR due to limited mobility status due to profile. Block V No. 2 Should be YES. Block V No. 3 Should be a No the member was diagnosed with original foot conditions (resulting in surgeries), back conditions, and Mental health conditions while on AGR orders (1 May 2008-15 October 2018), and while enlisted with the Fresno ANG from April 25 2008 to current. Please see Previous IRILO completed June 2018, and medical records. Currently 90% Service connected disabled (for Mental health and physical disability) and receiving VA benefits after AGR tour removal. AFSC is 6F071. - UPDATE: This has been corrected.

17 Sep 2019 - Found Unfit by NGB
19 Sep 2019 - Contacted by PEBLO
23 Oct 2019 - Contacted by VA MSC and PEBLO - IDES Processing elected. awaiting all appointments. I already had a scheduled for Psych eval due to possible PTSD non combat 31 Oct 19 and this links with the claimed conditions; (anxiety and depression, and the bilateral foot issues with arthritis)…. now the fun begins....
 
31 October - First C&P exam this one was for PTSD. The last one previously done was told "you don't have PTSD you only have anxiety and depression". This one seemed more like you have a lot of trauma... so see what this does for the MEB process... more appointments to follow...
 
Just got a call about a short notice appointment tomorrow.... not sure which condition this is for but I'll find out.... already did the PTSD exam which should of covered my anxiety and depression (currently Rated at 30% for those 2 conditions combined by the VA but referred unfitting conditions), and the joint fusions in my feet (also at 30% by the VA and referred as unfitting). I'm guessing my feet. however would the current VA ratings somehow affect what i might expect for a DoD percentage? I hope it's a good sign I'll be retired, and I'm only 1 percentage point away from the 100% VA tipping point (currently 94 based on calculator). fingers crossed for it all to go well.
 
well that appointment was cancelled. it's supposed to be the cast one before it gets pushed to AFPC.... now waiting on QTC...
 
well More fun. VA evaluated me for PTSD.... Here is the C&P results:

I would take this as... well you Do have PTSD but it is not service connected....

well I didn't have these issues 20 Years ago... How else would I have gotten it??????

Seemingly they are linking it back to my anxiety and depression I'm already rated for (I Hope)…. Confusing.... can anyone help me figure this piece out?
 
I just had the exam for my feet today.... apparently I also have a mental health and hearing..... The saga continues
 
I'm still alive. Have my Gen Med on wed 9 Jan 20. and the Med Board is due to AFPC on 14 Jan.... this is going to come down to the wire.... and the unit wants me there next month....
 
Gen Med is done. Talked to PEBLO and she stated she would put money on this being an approved medical retirement. 3 conditions I'm already rated at 30% each by the VA and 2 of those should be increased to 70% due to the last MH exams.... I'm guessing if I use the calculator... Best Case 90%DoD 100%VA, Worst Case 70%DoD 90%VA (that I'm still fighting hearing loss and requesting increases due to mental health.... so hopefully ill still hit the 100%). I just hope nothing goes wrong and I get hosed....
 
This is encouraging....
