Have you heard from your son? What a difficult time to have a loved one in theater.

Hello Mr Perry, I so look forward to a response from you!
I’ll keep this short as possible. What are the chances of the VA giving a favorable rating to any ailments being presented “NOW” after retirement from civil service and the reserves of 38 years. No prior medical documentation in service records. Only claims went to civilian doctors. I guess working on collecting medical now to present to VA for delayed submission. Claims: ptsd, hearing, shoulder impingement, wearing leg braces due to drop foot (lower back issue). Thank you!!

Hello Mr Perry,

Can a Formal board be approved one week and denied the next? im HYT (Navy ) my eaos was 15 mar 2020 and im still in waiting for results from my FPEB. would they not grant my unfit after 17 years cause im HYT? my IPEB was fit for ptsd, anxiety , my back and knees .

Hey man, I was digging through some of the decade old stuff just now and am very impressed with the professional quality of your posts. I recently applied to the NDRB and was granted partial relief (OTH upgraded to General); however, the narrative reason remained misconduct. I petitioned in Feb of 2020 and received my decision last week.

While this is an incredible accomplishment, I feel as if reapplying for further relief is warranted. Hopefully you wouldn't mind to weigh in?

I served in USMC Infantry from 2008-2012 and deployed to Afghanistan twice. I sustained a TBI that is documented in my Admin Sep paperwork. I never received any negative counselings or page 11 entrys. I was discharged due to possession of spice. Nothing else or additional to that. Simple possession of spice. During the required screening (simple yes/no questionnaire performed by a Physician Assistant) for mitigating PTSD/TBI, I only answered yes to having headaches. At the time of my petition, I had been service connected by the VA for Combat PTSD at the 50% rate.

My argument was that the discharge was inequitable because drug seeking behavior is a symptom of PTSD in the DSM-IV under the avoidance category. Additionally, the no answers were actually also evidence of my PTSD because they are also avoidant symptoms. This, in addition to the VA rating, is evidence that I did have a condition that mitigated the misconduct.

The board gave their decision and stated that full relief is not warranted because they do not feel as if the severity of my symptoms completely mitigated the misconduct.

During the time that I was waiting for their decision, I was reevaluated by the VA and my service connected issues now are:
Combat PTSD 70%
Traumatic Brain Injury 40%
Migraine Headaches 50%
Ulcerative Colitis Secondary to PTSD 30%
Degenerative Lumbat Arthritis 20%
Tinnitus 10%
Left ear hearing loss 0%
Bilateral Bunions 0%

Considering all of the above do you think that I have a shot at making a compelling argument for full relief? I would think that this qualifies as new evidence that hasn't been previously considered.

I also found that the USMC updated their Admin Sep order to state that those being discharged while having PTSD/TBI are supposed to have a mental health evaluation done by a qualifying provider. I obviously did not have this done. Would this stand to offer any sort of credible argument for upgrade? Perhaps an actual Psychiatrist might have been able to spot the signs of PTSD in me better than a PA who asked a short yes/no questionnaire.

Thank you for your time.

Hello Mr. Perry,
I am currently being medically retired with no service connection. I was on Title 10 orders for more than 30 days and was deployed to Kuwait. I am a Guardsman and Civil Technician at my unit. I am being denied service connection based on EPTS. I am looking into 1207a "eight year rule" and everything I find on it says that i have 8 years active service. But there is so much room for interpretation. I can't find any case law aside from i case that was denied because the eight year rule didn't exist at the time of the SM's injury. Basically, what counts and what doesn't and how do I prove that the days count to my FSS office and my Lawyer? Thanks for your Time!

Good Day Mr. Jason Perry,
I have over 20 years in the National Guard and am a Title 32 Technician for 13 years. I like many other have sucked up the pain but it's at a point now that I had to report it. I am currently marked as MND and am going through the Med Board process. I have been told this can take a very long time. Is it possible to continue the MED Board and get out of the guard but stay in the Technician side until the Med process is completed? I have arthritis, Degenerative disease, Nerve damage, blown disk, bad knees, temporary paralysis, and hip issues. I believe they think I may have MS as they are requesting me to be seen by a neurologist because of some of the symptoms I have. I don't want to have to go to drills anymore as the 2 hour drive is painful for me and I have to make this same drive for my medical appointments. If I have to stay in do I have any options for not attending drill, as I don't get paid because I receive 90% from the VA?
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give to me, I'll be looking forward to your reply.

You seem very knowledgeable. I wanted to see if you could maybe answer a question for me. I got injured March of 2020 doing the deadline during a diagnostic ACFT. They never did imaging but I did do 4 months of physical therapy. After months of PT didn’t help I finally asked for the third time if they could do imaging. They did in Sept and found a wedge deformity with fragmentation and Schmorl nodes and I got sent for a MRI. It showed the “chronic” appearing wedge deformity, bulging disc with annular tear etc., and intervertebral discogenic disease. I tried a few other things that my PCM wanted and then was sent to pain management. The doctor there basically said my diagnosis was early age appropriate splondylosis. My PCM is discussing med board. If it’s considered age appropriate would I even get a DOD rating and do you think the wedge deformity went undetected due to them not doing images and now they are sweeping it under the rug?

Dear Sir,

I have a question on my case. May you give me an advice?

I have joined Army for a year and 3 months, and got out on August 2014 under medically separation on DD214. I have gone through MEB process under VARR and got 10% DOD and 100% VA on Combined Medical Symptoms since September 2014. However, at that moment, I was under medical treatment and got serious medical conditions, so I did not know that DOD rating is too far different from VA rating. The end of this year 2020, I have discovered that I could get other unfitting symptoms to my DOD rating based on VARR during MEB process.

Therefore, do I still have a chance to increase my DOD rating to get Medical Retirement?
Please, give me an advice or instruction. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Thai

Sir,

Can you explain the financial statement you made in my thread? Thank you!

Jeff

Good morning, Mr. Perry. Any chance i could share my NMA with you to get your thoughts on it? ( will discuss in more details when in a more private setting). Thank you.

Have a question for you. I am at the PEB stage and have199 but I have not signed and returned it yet. The PEB rated me at 50% but soon after that the VA raised my percent to 100% for my main cause of medical retirement. Being in the nation guard and have served 21 years should I do the VARR to get the 100%?

Sir, I know this question has been posed before but it seems like the SECNAV 1850.4E is now 1850.4F and has been chopped down, my questions pertains to being an active duty Navy O-3 who is 2xFOS. I'm currenly undergoing medical treatment for the injury i've been referred to MEDBOARD for. Millington is telling me i have to have Assistant SECNAV approval to stay in past my statutory separation date. Is this correct?

Hello sir, I'm new to this website. I was wondering if you had any contact information to the BCNR to look up the pending status of a case? Like a email or phone number? Mine has been there for 1 year now (submitted in mid January 2019) and I'm still not seeing anything or hearing back yet.

Sir, I'm about to sign for SECAF appeal to be put on PDRL. Would you be able to assist at this stage? How much would this cost?

Dear Mr. Perry,

I sent you an email on June 27, 2019, in reference to securing you legal service for TSGLI appeal; I don't know if you received the email or not. I would like to secure your service for the aforementioned appeal, what is the process?

Sir, could you please look at my situation.

and my other posts. I think I need a lawyer....

Good NARSUM. however my commander wrote that I was an awesome airman and my conditions do not effect my job. Should I submit a rebuttal to that and highlight my duty limitations. My supervisor also said she would put in some input. I do not want to say too much because it could effect me negatively, but I also do not want the risk of getting a fit for duty finding.

I left you a voicemail, I'd like to retain you for my MEB

Jason- I'm looking for the law that prescribes the time limits for the government to resolve cases. I seem to recall language similar to '90% of all cases in 10 months and 100% of all cases in 18 months'. What is the law?
