Update: After a year long battle with my condition I was “Returned to Duty” today!!!!

Talk to a lawmaker? You mean like a congressman?

Ok PEBFORUM minds, Here is the story........I am currently getting MEB due to Chronic pain syndrome with chronic narcotic use. All paperwork has been sent. On January 20th I talk to my pain mgmt Doc and tell them I have to get off these narcotics so we need to come up with a solution. I get...

I guess I didn’t realize this was his forum.

Since you are a lawyer and I have been reading some of the tips on your site. I am trying to be found fit for duty. If the IPEB determines I am not fit for duty is it possible to go back to the active MTF and start claiming everything to restart the process? The reason I’m asking is because I...

My PEBLO informed me that Air Force cases have been taking about 3 weeks. I really hope that’s not accurate. I will be put out before I get to 20 if that’s the case.

I understand your frustrations on waiting so long because you would like to move on. I on the other hand want the process to crawl or die out.....LOL My PEBLO informed me that my exams are back and she needs character statements and my letter before she can submit my packet to the PEB. If you...

If I can get off of the narcotic pain medications the results will be simple....fit for duty. The condition by itself is not the reason for the MEB. It’s the MEDs that started this wheel of BS.

I am looking at staying in to complete my 20yrs of service. I also have filled out the LAS paperwork as well. I am also looking at switching my medication regimen to help this process. It’s to late to claim all the issues I have because I have already completed my C&P exams. I am also fully...

Charlie, I know only claiming the referred condition can backfire. I have 19 months to reach 20 yrs of service but I also have 95 days of leave saved up as well. So I would have to stretch it to 16 months. I’m really nervous about only claiming the one condition but that’s what was suggested to...

Dang.....you were just separated at 19.....WTH.....did you appeal everything? I think I would have a hard time with that and that’s what I’m going through right now....hit 19 in August and going through an MEB. Any advice you could give me on making my outcome different?

Hello all, I am trying to be found “fit for duty”. I only claimed the condition that I was referred for because that’s what the VA counselor told me to do. He said I can claim all the other stuff if I am found unfit later. Anyway....what do I need to do to be found fit? My CC recommended retain...

If you go to tricare online you can see the documents and sometimes notes. There should be a tab on the left with a bunch of links. Look for the one that says documents. I have read all of my off base appointments to include ER visits on there.

I just recently got my IRILO back from AFPC recommending a full MEB. I haven’t completed my claims or an exams yet. Do I talk with legal counsel before the IPEB?

PMM....yes it will be in the same building as the ADC. They have specialists that help with these kinds of things. Good Luck.
