MSG_Raven2-3, I am speaking only about my case only... From my experience, reference radiculopathy it is rated separately. I was found fit with my radiculopathy. hope that helps.

Finally, After more than two years in this process, I am done, starting with NON-Duty-related PEB and then getting a LOD approved. This forum has helped with a lot of good information. The hardest part of the process is the waiting, of course. I am well over 30% and got my retirement orders. It...

Thanks thank4urhelp: Someone told me the very same thing. However, I figure someone may have some better insight. I appreciate the assistance. I believe you are right. What is sad is they are saying my radiculopathy is fitting. It makes no sense. It seems they are always trying to screw us. Thanks

Gentlemen, I appreciate the response; I was given different opinions on how the DOD will rate. I was trying to understand if both medical issues are related to the cervical area. Will they provide one rating for my problems or two separate ratings? Cervical DDD other than IDVS and Cervical...

Hello All, Has anyone been rated for Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease other than IVDS and Cervical Spinal Stenosis? I was wondering if the DOD will combine these two or rate them separately, Thanks

Question, Hello, The MEB found three issues out of 8 Not Fitting. Now, it is at the PEB. I think they will combine conditions 1&2. ....... anyone have a similar issue? Currently waiting on Ratings from PEB. Condition #1: Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease other than IVDS Condition #2: Cervical...

Update: Well, now that I am finally in the IDES process, I just finished my Head & Toe exam and C&P for Neck, Upperback, and Migraines; I am currently awaiting my Narsum any day. It's been almost 2 years since I began with Non-Duty Related PEB. I still have a ways to go. I hope this journey is...

MSG Raven2-3 It has been my experience that even if your injury occurred prior to your military service and it was aggravated on active duty during your service it will be recognized. You mentioned you have an iLOD and witnesses for the day of the incident. I am not sure how they rate within...

JakeTrilla, I can only speak for myself. I received an NDR Memo from the MEB at HRC. They emailed it to me using the SAFE program. They also stated my injuries were not duty-related. I would believe your case manager will have a copy for records once it's received. When you get this memo, I...

Duckmeat, this process is very challenging. I originally started with an NDR PEB. I kept pushing for a fair resolution. I requested an FPEB. I was lucky. I had a good attorney from the Office of Soldiers Counsel. He listened to what was going on and was able to write a contention memo explaining...

Update. I was sent to a Non-Duty Related PEB. This process has been going on for well over a year. I made it to a FPEB on the day of the board, I was offered a reconsideration based off medical documentation which was found in my VA and C-file. The OSC was very helpful in the process. I just...

Greetings, Reserve question, long story short, If you have a recent rating of 100 P&T and you are referred to MEB/PEB will you have to go through a VA C&P exam again while the DOD is evaluating your determination or will they use your current VA records and percentage for a DOD evaluation.

I was scheduled for my Formal NDR board the first week of Jan 2024. the day before, I was informed just before the board convened that the board agreed to refer my case back to HRC for another review if I waived the proceeding. I guess I'm a little confused they are the ones who stated it was...

Does it normally take almost a year to get to FPEB. I disagreed with PEB on Non-Line of duty injury. I received a letter this past May for a Formal board in Jan 2024.. Some ppl on here have gone through in a matter of a few months. this is almost a year. This is insane.
