Actually this is not exactly correct. According to the milpers 1050-120, terminal leave is as follows. d. When separation processing has been completed and the member has departed on leave, such leave may be voluntarily terminated only if the member returns to the command or the separation...

I'm assuming you where gonna say you couldn't see the letter? If so, I am 2 weeks from retirement date, VA stuff is all setup for post retirement, I have orders and dd214. I still can't see the findings letter on va.gov and never got it in the mail. I had to get a copy from my peblo.

I was told the same thing. God and country swore I would have 90 days from my message. I had like 39? I was pretty shocked. It actually all worked out as I'm on terminal, got my orders the day before terminal started, and got my DD-214 today. I am all set with the VA now

So I am far from an expert but lurking around these boards, and doing some research on my own seems to point to a few things about being designated as P&T. First, if you are TDRL then you would not be P&T since you are on the temporary list. My understanding is the initial assessment is all...

If it's anything like I just experienced, little to no chance. I accepted my findings on 15March23, message received on 22Mar23, final get out date was 28Apr23. I started terminal/PTDY on Friday 31Mar23. Don't forget that if you got a medical separation you have (iirc) 180 days to execute...

I know it probably doesn't help, but you are going MUCH faster than a few unlucky souls. For example my package was sent off 10aug2022. I received no information from anyone until 15Mar2023. That's 217 days. When I called my peblo I was told no new information. When I called VA I was told...

You will get VA compensation at the 100% rate. You are not entitled to severance as you are over 30% dod. That means you get all of your VA compensation plus any dod that is greater than the VA. Your DOD compensation is done with the Average of your best 3. At 30% you will NOT be anywhere...

Basically yes. The DOD will my its own decision of fit or unfit, but if it decides unfit than the VA decides the %.

I just started my terminal leave for medical retirement due to a chronic migraine condition. I had gone through 1.5 years of treatments prior to being referred to MEB. Arguably the biggest thing that helped me with a lot of the process was that I kept a headache log that specified intensity of...

My understanding is it's a mix of your medical record, your referral statement from your pcm, and your non medical assessment from your CoC. The severity, likelihood of recovery, and affect on your ability to do your job are the factors used. I, for example, just started my terminal leave...

I just finished all this fun and started terminal leave Friday. It took 7 months from the day my package was submitted to the board until the day I received findings AND unfit status. After that a week to recieve my get out message. That message gave me 39 days (including PTDY 20 days and 8...

If you want to add it to your IDES claim, you have to do it at the end and basically restart a bunch of the process. On the flip side, you can prep all the paperwork and submit it the day you separate (or within a year of separation) and any claims that get picked up will back pay to the day...

Also, not doing MEB doesn't preclude you from getting VA benefits at all. It just doesn't let you get medical retirement benefits, which don't matter much when you get actual retirement benefits.

I would assume the ides process will take 6 months minimum ONCE IT STARTS. My stuff took over 1.5 years to start the process, and I am medically retiring a year to the day from when I was submitted for MEB. Only 1 month of that last year was not ides time. I know that timeline differs for...

My 2 cents on this matter is 2 fold. First, if neglecting the problems is going to make them significantly worse it's probably a bad idea to just wait it out. 2nd, the MEB process in many cases is taking close to a year, so you don't have to wait out 1.5 years to get all of your benefits. If...
