Well. Got my findings from the Informal board. 20% DoD, 80% VA.......so close. I got 10% for each knee. Apparently the ROM that was noted by my Surgeon and PTA were not taken into consideration. I have my phone call with my lawyer in 8 days (cutting it close, I know). I am happy with the...

Do I speak to my peblo about the impartial review? And does it go to a doctor of their choosing? Is it a military doc, VA doc or civilian doc?

So update time. My PCM suddenly went control freak and will not consider anything else for the PEB other than my knees, even though my Disability Attorney said my shoulder should be included as well. Is there any way to get other things included into the PEB portion of this? The way the C&P...

And this is what I do not like about the C&P process. There are all kinds of things wrong with my knee findings. No pain with weight bearing? No description of pain? No evidence of tenderness or pain on joint? Flexion to 60 degrees without using a measuring device (closer to 20 -30...

Does anyone have good examples of what an NMA should look like when trying for an UNFIT finding? Here is my problem. I have knee issues with both knees. Multiple surgeries, not getting any better (actually getting worse???). I have started the IDES and just got the paperwork from my PEBLO...

So if that is the case, and they use the above mentioned angles, I am good to go as far as retirement/severance goes. And from your signature, it looks like it took 2 months for the examination after your started the MEB? Just trying to figure out a rough timeline for myself.

If that is the case, where does the pain portion come in. Does the C&P not use the above scales for ROM? This is getting a little confusing for me.

To see if I have this correct. Limitation in flexion and extension for these degrees is movement without pain or just straight ROM? It seems like if it is without pain then I am going to have ridiculous numbers as I will (hopefully) have almost full range of motion, but there is pain in ANY...

Thanks for all the information and that website. I will be pouring over that.

I am active duty USMC with 11 years in. I am pending a PEB starting in April. I am on my 3rd term of limited duty following my 3rd knee surgery (1 on left, 2 on right) in a year. My concerns are as follows: My PCM said that if the PEB is only for my right knee, I would probably only get...

Okay. That is good news. I have full range of motion if I ignore the pain. But I had my physical therapist measure me and he had me at like 10-15% before I had ANY pain, and about 20% before it gets pretty bad. Had a buddy who told me to stop as soon as I feel ANY pain, so that is looking...

Bump on this as I am facing the ROM testing and don't want to get screwed on it like my buddy did.
