Hello! New member here that has never posted in a forum before and could use some help. I defiantly hope that I have this question in the right thread and if not, I would be grateful to be pointed in the right direction. However I could absolutely use some help from someone who has been through the TDRL process before.
I am recently medically retired from Active Duty with the Marine Corps, as of SEP 2020. I was placed on TDRL with a DoD rating of 70% for mental health. I was given a 100% P&T rating from the VA while going through the IDES process in Wounded Warrior. I understand that within 18 months to 3 years, I will need to do a revaluation in order to finalize my DoD ratings to determine whether or not I will move on to PDRL or get separated with a severance. My questions are, while I still have time, what would I need to do to prepare for my evaluation? What documents are recommended that I prepare or keep ready or if I need to establish a letter of recommendation from the Doctors assisting with the condition I am being evaluated on? ( I understand that the DoD is only looking at my most ratable condition, which in this cause is my mental health). Lastly, although I have come to understand that my VA ratings will not be affected by any future determination by the DoD, I am unsure as to if my ratings will play any sort of factor in determining my eligibility for PDRL.
Any help would be substantially appreciated.
