    Promotion for combat disability medical retirement

    Hopefully this will be some use. But I had these same questions. I asked my PEBLO up front and she said “ The PEB won’t promote you unless you have been selected” which may or may not be true on their side. However my G1 was very helpful in putting in a revision. (I don’t know the form number)...

    Timelines will change quite a bit on you. They probably gave you the average timeline. The army gives an online bulletin of your case as it progresses but its not all that accurate either at times. I submitted my signature on my narsum on June 29th, Aug 30 I had my PEB results. However other...

    Fight for retirement or just be medically separated with severance pay

    I personally was wanting the 30% DOD because I wanted Tricare. That is huge especially for a family of 4. If that is not really a concern to you then don’t worry about it. If it is I would try to appeal it. With 100PT you can get ChampVA. But you will need to read up on all that covers.

    AF - MEB Denied Admin Discharge

    I’m really sorry that this is going on. It sounds like a lot. I would definitely recommend recording phone calls and utilizing email so you have a date and time stamp. Keep everything in order. I hope the best for you and I hope legal can give you some more specific answers and be a good advocate.

    Was the warning for pot? Nobody knows you here so don’t be shy to say why. People on here may be able to help you better if they can understand why the admin discharge is being talked about

    Is this VA MSC's advice good?

    Of course. That’s what this sites for. It’s all really a matter of choice man. I can only tell you what I would do. I would list what you believe you can increase ( if that is what you want). Yes you can list whatever you want. However if you don’t have a P3/P4 profile for those things the DOD...

    Is this VA MSC's advice good?

    Thank you. I finished OCT 2nd. My opinion is that they work for the VA. There’s good ones and bad ones. Just like PEBLO’s. I would try to communicate by email because personally I like the time and date stamp on it. I think you should be in pretty good shape if you have multiple referred...

    Is this VA MSC's advice good?

    How long ago was your back awarded 40%? I was awarded 40% last year in AUG. This year I went through the med board and what they wrote on the DBQ was going to set me to 10-20%. I wrote a word document explaining the vast differences in between one CP exam from an MD with the DBQ's rating me at...

    Please somebody help me

    Yeah definitely make sure all your stuff is green as well. My PHA had just lapsed and I had to do another before the provider could finish the P3 as well. So maybe log on to medpros or whatever system it is in now and check to make sure that’s all good.

    Please somebody help me

    Different strokes for different folks on that one my friend. Unfortunately some know what they are….some don’t. You either need a cool Peblo to tell you or get lucky with one of the 1800 operators. However you can match your DBQs against the 38 CFR which is on the VA website. You can kind of do...

    Please somebody help me

    Yeah it sucks that they make you think they actually started. Once that snag is done you will be automatically referred and the PEB begins officially

    Promotion for combat disability medical retirement

    Hey Top. So I wrote this in another thread as well but it can still happen. Get ahold of G1 on post or a retirement service representative. I am enlisted and was on a promotion list and got “promoted” my day of medical retirement. You need to get ahold of them now so they are on the same page...

    Please somebody help me

    I would check with your P3 profile to make sure they are not doing an “amendment” to it and or creating new P3/P4 profiles. I was waiting on a second signature for my P3 amendment for over 2 months before I got started.

    Can I be promoted if I am medically retiring?

    I know this thread has kind of concluded with the answers individuals were looking for, however I just wanted to give more of a rundown for future viewers on how the enlisted side is working at least for now as a guardsman. obviously if you are flagged before the Med board you more then likely...

    Can I be promoted if I am medically retiring?

    Yeah I just went through this as well ( I am guard) they gave me my original orders. Then after my retirement date did an amendment to the orders to reflect my new rank. I had to wait for all that to happen to get my new ID card. But I’m pretty happy with it. It was a nice bonus to leave out as...

    Possible upcoming MEB

    Yeah I tell them all the time that I wake up in the middle of the night multiple times but I didn’t think about sending in a sleep claim I guess. Thanks for the tip. Good luck to you.

    I got mine from retirement services. They got ahold of me before orders came through, told me my date and to sign up to tricare. Then I asked for them to be emailed and mailed to me. Personal email is good at that point.

    How long is a C&P good for?

    I had my back rated last august. They still did a new CP exam because it was almost a year however after comparing DBQ's between the 2 physicians I argued that the first doc who was also an MD, was more detailed the The second physician (a PA) they ended up going with the previous doctors DBQ...
