Your PCM does not write up the actual VA 21-0819. That is done by your PEBLO. If your PCM has noted 3 conditions that meet your regulations disqualifying standard, check with the PCM and make sure each are clearly labeled in the system and contact your PEBLO. Tell him your PCM listed 3...

New PDRL, TDRL, VA, Severance Calculator in Excel Just wanted to give you a head up. The combined ratings calculation is off. I suspect it has something to do with the way the rounding is. For example, my rating is 90% total. But the calculator states 100%. This is the breakout on how it should...

Scott, It is impossible to say how long it will take unfortunately. I'm not sure on how the Navy works. Maybe Jason could provide more input on this. From what I understand, if you enter the MEB process, they will extend your DOS until the process is complete. You will have to check your regs...

Gomez, That form is used to start the IDES process. It will only contain the disease/disorder that disqualifies you from service. After you sign that, you will meet with your VA rep and list all the individual issues you wish to claim. If you want, you can list further conditions in section 11...

Welcome to the forum Broham! It is very hard to guess what an outcome will be. A lot of different factors will go into it. Couple of questions: 1. Which service are you in? 2. Are you enrolled in the IDES or "Legacy" program? 3. What would you like the outcome to be? 4. How do these conditions...

If they enrolled you in IDES, here is a quick rundown of how it will play out 1. Coded For MEB: Meet PEBLO and VA Rep. Schedule VA Appt 2. Attend VA Appt 3. PEBLO Receive VA Claim Summary and tasks PCM for NARSUM and CC for CC Rec Letter 4. PEBLO will compile package (CC ltr, NARSUM and VA...

Trust me, I know how you feel. Hopefully they get moving soon.

I'm not completely sure how the ANG differs from AD AF. I'm a little confused on why your Psych is sending letters bi-weekly. Are you enrolled in IDES (VA Appointments and Evaluation) or are they having AFPC assign the ratings?

The Members CC can't, but the Medical Group CC can. They have to sign off on all packages.

My initial package was for: 1. PTSD (combat) 2. MDD (combat) 3. Myofacial Pain Syndrome 4. Sleep Apnea I was rated: 50% for PTSD w/MDD (the combined the two) 20% Myofacial Pain 0% for Sleep apnea and was not found unfitting There is a couple ways to see where your package is at. First, you...

Hey Mike and Lola, Your PEBLO does have access to contacting the board directly. However, they don't have access to contacting the VA. If you PEBLO is not helping you out, send me a PM and I can give you suggestions on who to contact. But you really only want to use this option if your PEBLO is...

Finally got my results. They offered 60% TDRL. Breaks down to the follow: 50% PTSD w/ MDD Combat 20% Myofacial Pain Syndrome 0% OSA 10-Nov-10 - Coded for MEB 29-Nov-10 - Notified of MEB Proceedings 02-Dec-10 - DAWG Decided I need full MEB 13-Dec-10 - Signed MEB paperwork and met VA to...

Well, I got my stuff all worked out. I got 60% TDRL Woot

The the hits just keep coming... I just talked to the Chief of the Disability Branch at AFPC. They acknowledged they received my results from the VA on 27 Apr 11. They also mentioned they forwarded my results to my PEBLO on the 11 May 11. For some reason, my PEBLO and his office did not receive...

I hate you both...J/K Congrats on you ratings. I'm glad the system worked quickly for both of you!
