Congrats, man! (As long as this is the outcome you wanted)
Thank you so much for explaining that to me and i think it is 100% VA p&t
awesome! temporary just means you will be evaluated when you're out for a little while to see if there are any improvements in your condition. As long as you maintain your appointments when you're out and nothing juristically changes, they will reevaluate to see if your condition is permanent as well change the retirement to permanent or whatever deems necessary.
yes on the second email from FSS it outlines it all. hopefully you can still do a going away or something you still supported the military and deserve to be acknowledged.
Appreciate it. Yeah, with help from some of my colleagues and medical staff I was able to overcome the feeling of guilt. Though there's still plenty of people in my shop who think I got all the benefits for nothing and think it's bullshit.
BUT you are on top now and all the hard work you've done to get to this point is what matters, CONGRATS and I know its hard because of course you have those who dont understand but you matter!! Thank you for always helping me through this process you kept me sane lol
I'm glad I could be of help! My buddy at the shop was joking with me saying I'm only on reddit and these forums for my own reasons. I said that initially yes, but after I got my answers and figured out how PEB worked more or less, I was happy to answer people's questions too and ease their minds a bit. I hated how out of loop I was for first couple of months.
Honestly, this site has been huge for me and probably my biggest resource. I'm usually able to find answers by just searching and looking at timelines, and there are a lot of resources posted throughout. I also know two people that have gone through it so they were helpful in the early stages before I got a PEBLO. If you don't know anybody, do a quick search here and if you can't find an answer then just create a post. People are usually pretty quick to provide help!
Are you planning on doing a VARR? That's why you didn't sign them today I assume?
My Peblo wouldnt let me sign anything until I talked to a lawyer, so just waiting on that.
The issue with my VA claim which is just how they do it but my two main issues with me compound each other so they are both rated at 70% and since symptoms can't be identified differently they put them together therefore 1 rating of 70% and then the rest was little stuff so 50% 30% 20% 10%.
Yeah, they did that with me too. They lumped my Idiopathic Hypersomnia with Mental Health, even though MTF Neurologist diagnosed it and I'm prescribed Xywav.
right, its super weird and kind of annoying, but I do intend to sign no matter what lol.
Yeah, you have up to a year after DOS to add anything else or appeal the ones you think were rated lower than they should've. I was going to sign as well whatever the rating was.
Did your claim ever appear close with "BEL"? Mine says closed and the document only has BEL with it. is that the benefits estimate letter that gets sent to AFPC?
