    SAH from VA or other Grants

    First off, I hope I am posting this in the right location. I retired in 2016 and was diagnosed with PTSD, Bilateral Knee Pain, my C4 & C5, and bad lower back, which all prevents me from walking long distance, lifting heavy objects, or even enjoying life. We have an established home already. I...

    Requesting MEB Board

    IF YOU ARE OVER 20 YEARS and in order to avoid paying back that time for CSB/REDUX Bonus, does it make sense to request an MEB or will they medically retire you and not get that 50%?

    Doctors do not know the reason

    Found Fit For Duty

    Mike, Thank you! No I do not have an issue staying 20. My goal is to retire. It states that in order to qualify for CRDP you have to have a VA disability Rating. Since I have been found Fit For Duty my questions are: 1. If I can do this before retiring then I would go for The Quick Start...

    My PEBLO told me that if I request a FPEB then my COAD(Continuation On Active Duty) may not be approved. Which in my case have a great case since I am 42A and Just got done with 4yrs of recruiting duty. Please keep helping me with suggestions. Thank you

    Narsum Review with PEBLO

    Jason, Ok well I was asking because from talking to different soldiers, all I hear is appeal, appeal and appeal.

    Narsum Review with PEBLO

    Everyone listen to JASON PERRY. He hit the nail on the head. I went to see the MEB/PEB Lawyer and he stated the same thing about "NOT BEING PROTECTED EVEN IF YOU HAVE 18YRS OR MORE". He did say that the more time you have after 18yrs the better the chances of approval but not always certain...
