Aloha PEB family! I’m Looking to pivot my CRSC claim to focus on presumptive as my service can’t seem to focus on the case law supported submissions on a PTSD claim for combat relation. I was aircrew flying into and out of the combat theatre. I was awarded the not so normal…and definitely...

AFBCMR is taking double the stated time. I put in one in FEB 22 and it's still in the works today;-( @nomad TACP, let's link up in the next few days. I haven't read your stuff yet but don't want you going into this blind.

Technically speaking, while you are on long term orders...your chart is your LOD. There is supposed to be a culling of that data upon exit which is the SHPE (federally mandated physical that is often not done) and a formal entry in your chart. My earlier comment is still correct that we are...

While the services SUCK at following this. This is the law DoDI 1241.01, April 19, 2016 (2) When an RC Service member is on active duty (AD) or full-time National Guard duty (FTNGD) for a period of more than 30 days and, at the scheduled end of that period, has an unresolved in-LOD condition...

So sleep apnea was a secondary condition to Asthma. Did she fill out a secondary condition form or did the board just figure that one out for her?

Follow up question. I'm rated at 100% for Menieres disease which is under § 4.87 Schedule of ratings—ear--conditions of the ear. They did not rate me for hearing loss or tinnitus (both presumptive conditions) because it benefitted me to lump those together under that ear disorder section and...

Excellent...and you are right, those are already required so it should make it easier.

Thanks Sir! Do you think that needs to be spelled out in my ratings decision OR is my referencing the 38CFR presumptive list acceptable? I would like to file this ASAP but since it's all back paid...I really can wait and make the package more solid if there needs to be more information from...

Aloha, I'm finally retired after years on this forum. I did have some excellent guidance along the way from Jason. I'm considering applying for CRSC. Deployments plus aircrew should allow for presumptive conditions to kick in but I bow to the forum for any opinions or experience. I'm not...

NGB can and will do whatever the hell they want. Look for a cheat sheet that I have posted. HERE The burden of proof is high for them to deny you if you are over 30 days...but they don't follow the law at all. You can appeal it...and it will probably get denied because they rely heavily on the...

Sorry...clearly I focused on that first part of the COVID vaccine kick out due to the end of Oct kick out. 1. She told him that whenever he wants to retire after 20 years (he has 6 months to go), he can say he doesn't want to be in MEB and just want to retire. Is this true? YES ish. They can...

The armed forces cannot make unvaccinated service members take the Novavax vaccine because it is currently under emergency use authorization, and federal laws prohibit the military from forcing an EUA vaccine on personnel unless the president signs a waiver. Just because they cannot make them...

I mentioned Federal court as I imagine it will apply to all services to include coast guard once they make a ruling. If he did get the Novavax it is a legitimate authorized CDC COVID vaccine (Approved Vaccines). The CG just may not have updated that as the services are kind of myopic and like...

There is no harm to him if he goes out either way with regard to VA compensation and care. He may have options with regard to actual retirement as there are some federal court decisions pending. As of July, There is a federal stay or temporary restraining order for discharge for AF and Space...

I'm sure it feels long but there are others that have been riding this ride for a looooong time. The Prize?? You no longer have to deal with the IDES process and get out of uniform. Only the chosen few have the PLEASURE of going through this beat down.
