    Should I apply for a rate increase?

    My MH provider, community through the VA, does MH evals as well. I've been seeing her almost since my MEB from the Air Force, in Nov 2019. Somehow we ended up talking about my rating, because I never gave her any of that paperwork (only my MH history from care in the AF). When I told her what...

    Waiting For Rating

    If anyone else is getting out on Sev pay, OAC says that the pay isn't supposed to be taxed. If the VA rated you even 0%, for your boardable issues, you can send in an IRS form to have the taxed portion of your severance paid back.

    Towards the end of November, on the date I requested. :o I start PTDY and Terminal on the 17th of October.

    Welp, 7 days later I now have a separation date. PEBLO says it will take 7 more days for the orders to show on VMPF.

    Does anybody have an idea of how long AFPC has been taking to cut separation orders, lately?

    I talked to a rep, at OAC, to make my appointment with an attorney. He said that my severance pay will not interfere with my VA pay, since my unfitting conditions are not what I'm getting my VA benefit from. That's sounding really appealing, at this point. I don't have a ton in my savings and...

    Just went over my packet. My mental health issues are combined into one issue, rated at 70%. One other condition was rated at 10%. 77% equaled 80%, after rounding. None of my other conditions made it over 0 and some were considered unrated... which includes the two conditions I'm deemed unfit for.

    Should I? The VA wrote my 2 MEB issues at 0%, in the case file. Apparently, that's what the DOD uses, explained by my PEBLO. It would be nice to have access to base, since I'll be moving to McChord and Bremerton area... also, Teicare would be helpful. I'm calling the OAC now.

    I already have my rating, as of 20 minutes ago. Sitting with my PEBLO, in 2 hours, to discuss more details. What I've gotten, over the phone, is 80% VA and the military decision is separation with severance pay.

    New DoD Timelines for IDES process

    The whole "Fit to Fight" initiative makes me think it'll be DoD wide, eventually, but the document itself is purely AF.

    New DoD Timelines for IDES process

    From what my PEBLO explained, the first 15 days are days you are 'working' but actively wrapping up your outprocessing. There really should be clarification on whether that's calendar or sequential, for sure. 3 weeks vs 2.

    New DoD Timelines for IDES process

    My PEBLO just sent me documentation, dated 28 Aug 2019, of updates to the separation portion of the timeline. This is for AF only, I'm sure.

    Just checked the claim details in E-Benefits. It's currently at "Step 5: Preparation for Decision". I think it might have been here for 2 days, so far, since that is when the estimated completion date changed. From my understanding, reading this forum, the ECD doesn't take MEB into account.
