No. If you are medically retired from active duty, then you are medically retired, period.

Officer orders chop goes through more people, such as community manager and detailer.

No difference at PEB and the separation message for officers, but orders process is different. Also different if you are RC.

Just keep in mind that only works for Army processes. Doesn't affect the VA portion, and doesn't work in other services.

Unless you're using language I don't understand, non-duty related and non-compensable means you don't *get* a medical retirement. You'll be separated because your condition makes you unfit to serve, but you'll have no retirement and no DOD benefits.

Screenshot of the reference instruction:

Yes, will affect. After you sign your findings, PEB has to process and put together for the index. Plus Navy PEBLOs are civilian, as is the message-writing group at NPC.

If there is a government shutdown at the start of the new fiscal year, that timeline will be extended. Once NPC gets your index, you can expect a separation message within...

Been through several shutdowns in the past, in general. That's basically what I've seen, just a pickup of work wherever it was left. Of course, it usually takes a couple of days to get synced back up.

Oh, I don't know....4 years ago? New to the military?

Short version, yes. PEB and PEBLOs are largely civilians.

TDRL isn't something that can be appealed the same way a rating percentage or a referred condition can be. The determination for whether you are placed on temporary or permanent retirement is based on medical documentation of the stability of your condition. Yes, there are laws that govern some...
