I submitted my retirement paperwork and got an approved retirement date of October 1, 2021. I have 21 years of Active Army service. After I submitted my retirement paperwork, my PCM put me in for a MEB due to admittance to a PTSD clinic. Currently claims are at VA and according to PEBLO an MEB officer is being assigned.
I had planned on starting transition leave August 12, 2021. Does this look obtainable? Also I would love to do an internship and I do not want this process to interfere with plans. If the MEB looks like it is going to be longer than the retirement date, can I still just retire? If that's possible how do I go about getting benefits pay from the VA?
