Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Even more fun is when you have a DD215, due to PDBR that changes the character of discharge. Anyway yeah you need to be retired an have VA waiver.

So to mix things up, I actually used Foxit, cheaper and I drew my signature which you can do so my packet was a digital signature with my drawn signature. So that seems to pass muster with the Army. I have my approval packet saved on my phone and just double checked.

It can be under Gulf War, if Functional IBS not structural. And there can not be a clear cause/diagnosis: medically unexplained chronic multisystem illnesses (MUCMIs). Interestingly I was pursuing IBS, but it was determined via testing, (colonoscopy) I have structural IBS, which tanked my...

Well OSA is not a presumptive, they may consider if rated as a secondary to a presumptive. It’s a maybe, but probably better if you explicitly apply for the condition.

Remember this thread is just about announcing the calculator. If you need an estimate just create a new thread asking for such. Calculator works great. It was within $4 of my final DFAS amount, even the DFAS rep was impressed with the accuracy.

Thanks for the update, this is BS! They basically skirted the court order that Soto spent years fighting. NVLSP is suing over this. So now they penalize everyone because their BS 6 year limit didn’t stick. What rubs me is we have to wait on the VA. You have to have a VA rating before you can...

Likely this will land back in the courts unless congress does something anything and legislates. Still wondering what the $2.5 billion a year paid in taxes to fund congress actually goes to.

Congrats on your approval. Someone really needs to do something about the NAvy’s 18 month processing time. Everyone should be letting their congressional representatives know and asking why navy is 18 months, everyone else is 4.

That’s great, I’m glad for most it’s not like it used to be. I think mainly probably with questionable and long shot claims having most of the issues these days.

I think you will get your backpay before end of month. If they don’t make the cutoff which I think is around the 20th you’ll start getting your regular monthly payment in January. This is based on by experience in August and September. Same. I went thru meb/peb, got screwed, 10%. Went PDBR...

Congrats. About the 25th check my pay: CRSC tab, should get backpay first then your regular payments should start. Yeah the Army is around 100 days. Be thankful you are not dealing with the navy, be looking at 2027 (aholes).

not a VA claim, buddy letters have no value. Maybe a memo from a commander. My outspoken opinion you have a long shot. Not impossible shot. Start gathering supporting documentation. Medical documentation from when you were in would help.

Don’t fall asleep on crsc calculator | crsc This was within a dollar for mine, when I talked to DFAS and got my exact payout while waiting for it, they were impressed at how accurate and said they get calls all the time and usually not that close.

They ask for code sheet, but you do not need it. I requested mine still waiting, 6 months and counting, comically I got my code sheet faster from CRSC as it was in my decision paperwork.
