I need some help on who to contact to stop/delay my transition. My PEB is complete, 20% DOD for back issues, 50% VA (back, depression, anxiety) signed my 199, received my separation memo (6 JUNE sep date) and am waiting on my DA31 to be approved. No orders yet due to not having my DA31 finished. Problem is I have been seeing my doctor about headaches, which I got a 0% VA rating. After I received my sep memo my doctor referred me to Neurology. Who put me in for a head/brain CT scan and MRI w/contrast. Well the results came back yesterday and he said they found some blood or an adenoma in the area of my pituitary gland. Then referred to Endocrinology. Who can't see me until the end of next month. I am supposed to start PTDY on April 20th, Terminal leave on the 10th of May, ETS 6 June. I need to get off the transpoc list to be able to get the necessary treatment. I really want to resolve this while on Active Duty, and not go the "take it up with the VA" route.
I am trying to contact my Peblo, but have been unable to reach him via phone and email. Am going to drive to his office today as well as see if MEB JAG can provide assistance. Who else should I contact? My chain of command is tracking this new issue, but also has no idea what to do.
Background: 7 years Active Duty Army. Currently at Fort Bliss. Deployed to Iraq in 2008 where I injured my back.
Timeline:
Started MEB Sep 2012 for L4, L5 spondylolisthesis.

Pending Terminal leave 10 May
Pending ETS 6 Jun
