    Please help.....

    If you unfit through your MTF then PEB is a rubber stamp. Sometime their backed up do to change over of new crews. # weeks is not enough time for alarm. That is, 3 week is generally the minimum timeline when running smooth.

    Lost my SECAF appeal

    Never do a Notice of Disagreement as this puts your packet into a black hole for sometime years. Provide new evidence and do a VA reconsideration then AFBCMR both through a solid VSO. Write your on stuff.

    MEB vs Officer Elimination

    HRC mission is not to decide chapter or MEB. That is the CGs responsibility. When I was at Bragg it was the 18 Corp CG or his deputy who made the call. A GO for sure. If the CG has ruled going to HRC is incompetent. If you have combat try and see if psych will call your condition PTSD and not...

    MEB vs Officer Elimination

    There seems to be a command mismatch, If the CG opted for a MEB Medical Disability requirement then the DD214 should read retirement: Disability. Under this circumstance Post 911 can be used or transferred to children. You should retire with no less than 50% retire pay. Lucky you have an...

    Upcoming MEB; (2)Pulmonary embolisms and DVT

    From my experience, the Army no longer plays a role as judicator but mirrors the VA Schedule which is current MEB regulation. Hence, why MEB individuals receive their VA rating pre-retirement. If this was your referred condition I would appeal through the Military Board of Corrections is you...

    Rating questions

    You can appeal once your 199 returns for a VA reconsideration. I was reading that if a veteran goes a civilian provider that is more or equally qualified and provides an equally complete exam as the C&P they must side with the Veteran. That is, if the independent provider report reflects a...

    RETIREMENT SECTION SAYS "NO" TO NG EARLY RETIREMENT

    I'm currently in the WTU under a 12301 (H) order. This MOB authority allows credit for the "Gray Area Retirement." I have never heard any regualtions stating the being within HOR territory would disqualify you from this credit. I would consult with the G1 PPG Guidance. Can you provide the...

    Any guesses what this means on my unfit memo.

    Not sure if this problem is resolved but sounds like you were wrongfully discharged if you were in the MED board process at the time or even if you conditions are unfit due to AD. Call Ms. Halen Tymes, MHR, Army Reserve Care Coordinator, USARC, G1. Office (910) 570-8292. I understand she...

    Seattle Regional VA Timelines:

    Pay Question: If the max is 75% DOD and you are rated 90% DOD. 75% is combat related injuries. But if, for example, a back is unfitting at 40% and not combat related. Will they first use all your combat related injuries to come up with the percentage before they use non combat related...

    Is my PEBLO right?

    In terms of RC disability retirement with those who have less than 20 years AFS or less than 7200 points but have 20 qualifying years, the only way they can receive both is to give up the AD disability percentage retirement and opt out for a RC point retirement when eligible. A reservist can...

    Army 3947's- Almost everyone should disagree!!

    ALL: I'm in the category of disagreeing with the Functional Activity on DA Form 3349 profile. As you say I could not force the MEB Board to check no on C-I although physical therapy notes report I'm unable to complete these activities. Even my LOD reports the same. I have all orthopedic...
