Hey all - new to the forums and have been browsing around a lot lately and learning what I can here and there. There isn’t much information out there from/for Dual-Status Air National Guard members - so I figured I’d share what little knowledge I have and my timeline so far. It’s not much, but it’s all I have.
Up front: I’m a full time Federal Technician, and E7 on the military side with almost 18 years military service under my belt. no clue who my PEBLO is, or when they’re assigned (or even what that role is). My only visibility of my current package progress is from repeated questions to my base medical office.
===Timeline ===
October 28,2016 - return from Turkey deployment with major sleep issues
February 11, 2017 - Contacted Air National Guard medical about ideations
March 27, 2017 - VA Medical Registration
April 10, 2017 - VA Disability Intent to File
April 25, 2017 - Military AD Medical Appointment #1 (guard driven)
May 16, 2017 - Military AD Medical Appointment #2 (guard driven)
July 14 - VA Hearing Test
August 25, 2017 - Military AD Medical Appointment #3 (guard driven). Told they were deeming me ‘unfit’ for my current job due to mental state and medications.
September 12, 2017 - VA Psychiatrist (diagnosed BiPolar and PTSD).
September 23, 2017 - VA C&P Audio
September 29, 2017 - VA C&P MH
October 5, 2017 - VA C&P Physical
October 23, 2017 - VA Disability rating returned @ 80%.
* 70% - “Unspecified bipolar disorder and other specified trauma and stressor related disorder (claimed as anxiety, insomnia and depression).
* 10% - Sciatica, Left
* 10% - Tinnitus
November 02, 2017 - Package left NGB —> IPEM(IPEB?). Found out after asking multiple people and getting the run-around.
Any idea/experience of what the next steps are? Any comments, suggestions, and/or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
