All, I am trying to understand VA C&P benefits. My brother in law served 27 years as a LTC in the Air Force (active). He just received 100% P&T at the end of November. He started this claim as an appeal in 2011 and won in November 2014. For some reason he will not receive any back pay. I am...

Tony292, I am confused, if it passes the senate and not the house isn't that dead in the water then? Does the house still need to pass it as they control the money? Your right about crossing the fingers. I know myself and 550,000 Retirees have been waiting years for this to happen. I know...

From my readings this has been passed. Please correct me if I am wrong!!!

I am not sure what is going on but I am part of the Chapter 61 group on facebook and this was posted today. Not getting my hopes up yet but we shall see. If anyone has any information please post. I also want Jason and LTC Parker to chime in as well...

I wanted to inform all veterans going through PDBR. If you are retired make sure you hand carry your documents that you received from PDBR and your branch to the VA. Make sure they stamp them especially if you guys have an open claim. For me it changed everything. Make sure you give them copies...

AvnSgt, The unit affiliation has nothing to do with it. My last duty station was in Virginia and my retirement ceremony was at Ft. Sam Houston. The RSO is supposed to inform the retirement section and they schedule your ceremony! Now it is up to you whether you want to do this or not. For some...

Make sure you get your retirement ceremony, retirement certificates, and your flag!

Fiasco007, The election year and promises that were made that never happened took a lot out of everyone including me. You would think there would be more especially when the count of 350K plus chapter 61 retirees are denied there retirement. I would say more but I will refrain!

I highly recommend all Chapter 61 Retiree's take a look at the link below. Once you get there make sure you are viewing the "action center" HR 333 and 303 are back on the hot seat. I am trying to cool off after a hell of year 2012 and will keep political crap off this board. But I will say this...

Well folks I thought I would post since the Commosgt needs clarification on a few questions. Here goes, I am 90% disabled through the VA and retired through the PDBR at 30%. I have had two C&P examinations 12/19 & 1/3. If I am granted 100% schedular or P&T does this qaulify me for CDRP or CRSC...

grizz13, I am having the same feelings grizz. Companies and Jobs are leaving this country by the truck load especially businesses are laying off people, closing down! Once the politicians have done there bidding and there is nothing left the only thing that stands is another revolution. It...

Why do we continue to vote for politicians and presidents that continue run our country into the ground, treat veterans like rats giving only bread crumbs, still have claims backlog etc etc. I could go on with my rant. Why is that people!!! NDAA 2013 is a sham job. I am sure there is many...

I cannot confirm or deny this but we have been left out in the cold once again. This is based on what other boards are stating. If anyone can confirm this please post an update! If this is true, it just confirms all 300,000 to 500,000 chapter 61 retiree's need to march on washington!
