    How to address what I believe to be a denial of due process resulting in financial loss

    Also, regarding "Excess Leave", seeing as how I am already medically retired, how does that even come into play?

    How to address what I believe to be a denial of due process resulting in financial loss

    Then there is the fact that that a WTU matrix was never performed in my case. Considering the outcome of the IDES process, I probably would have been a good candidate for PCS to a WTU. Had that occurred, chances are that I would have most likely received better medical care and possibly the PTSD...

    How to address what I believe to be a denial of due process resulting in financial loss

    I have reread Ed's advice regarding the ABCMR. It was nuanced, but if I understand correctly what I am requesting is not that my records be corrected, per se, but to have my records "corrected" so that the additional 55 days needed to attain 20 years Federal active duty service are reflected in...

    How to address what I believe to be a denial of due process resulting in financial loss

    My research has also led me to believe that to petition the The Army Board for Correction of Military Records on this matter is the proper venue for my case. However, I others have raised doubts and indicate in their opinion that my only recourse is to file suit in Federal Court as financial...

    I invite your attention to the following thread for your review and advice. Thus far, all of my research has proved fruitless and no one else seems to factually know how I should seek redress in this matter. Help me Obiwan Kenobi, you are my only hope...

    How to address what I believe to be a denial of due process resulting in financial loss

    I wish to provide a correction to the following statement: It was HRC not USAPDA that lied in their response back to the Office of Senator Ted Cruz. USAPDA was nothing less than 100% responsive and supportive of my case; especially SFC Julian Chaparro.

    How to address what I believe to be a denial of due process resulting in financial loss

    No diagnosis of PTSD, no AW2. As for the information regarding the root cause of the 50% rating being TDRL versus PTSD, thanks for the clarification. The thing is, who exactly makes the medical-related decisions regarding a Soldier's medical condition when they apply for COAD? Who sits on the...

    How to address what I believe to be a denial of due process resulting in financial loss

    Thank you for the input. I had the enlistment contracts and DD-214s to have the corrections made. However, I had to wait until I was on the retirement list to do so, as I had to have the corrections made through Retirement Services here at Fort Stewart. Only then, when I had those validated...

    How to address what I believe to be a denial of due process resulting in financial loss

    I was permanently medically retired from the U.S. Army on July 18, 2014 after having completed the Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) process with a combined disability rating from U.S. Army of 80%, and a combined disability rating from Administration of Veterans Affairs of 90%...

    COAD

    Well, spit on me! A day late and a dollar short for me partner! However, I surely hope you can be of help to someone else who needs it as much as I did. The bastards forced me to medically retire with only 55 days remaining to attain my 20 years of federal active duty and qualify for concurrent...

    My "Unfit" memo from the PEB - Your thoughts?

    I am specifically asking the vague question “Your thoughts?” to see what responses I receive in case something is brought to myattention about which I may not have been aware. MEMORANDUM FOR VA SUBJECT: Request for Rating: SSG X, xxxxx 1. The Physical Evaluation Board (PEB) found...

    MEB now or take my chances?

    That truly is the hardest, most painful part. The sad thing is my unit just tried to find everyway possible to get rid of me and damn near drove to doing something tragic...and I will leave it at that.

    MEB now or take my chances?

    Will do! Suffering from depression, as do you, I know it is far easier to say than to do but find reasons to have hope - hope in whatever it takes to get you through to the next day. Yes, it is painful, it sucks, it makes you feel and act in ways that you do not understand and sometimes makes...
