I think elsewhere here @johnbgately has advised doctors being medboarded to not work as a civilian doctor at their former Military Treatment Facility; however, I’m not sure why and don’t want to misquote him.

What do you mean Sir by “decided indirectly”? How so?

What branch are you?

I’m in the Navy so they only assess as fitting or unfitting the conditions you were referred for. I believe in the army and some other branches they assess as fitting or unfitting all conditions you claim, whether they were actually referred conditions or not. Anyways, I was diagnosed with a...

As @chaplaincharlie stated, you should ask your MSC. My MSC let me add on other conditions very late in the process. I had a C&P exam for another conditons I added on, after I already got my PEB results back.

I am having surgery with Dr. Buly at Hospital for Special Surgery. I was referred to him by Dr. Sink, who is considered one of the best hip surgeons in the world. You will have to send his (Dr. Sink’s) office all your imaging before he will take an appointment with you, he only does PAO’s, he...

Boston Children’s Hospital and Hospital for Special Surgery will do total hip replacements on patients as young as teenagers. BCH does surgery on patients up until age 35, even though it’s called “children’s hospital”. Both of them take Tricare. After my terminal leave is over I am getting my...

I had almost the exact same timeline as you (referred in March 2021, got sent to PEB in DC in early September) and I was expecting to hear back some time in April-June 2022. So, I wouldn’t say yours is like totally out of the ordinary. I know others whose have taken 18 months total. My lawyer...

If you re-tore it I would highly advise looking into having PAO surgery.

I got 30% for my bilateral FAI and labrum tears and got medically retired. Referred conditions: left hip pain, right hip pain DOD ratings Left hip impingement 10% Left hip strain - limitation of extension 10% Left hip strain - limitation of flexion 0% Right hip impingement 10% Right hip...

I got the draft a week after my terminal leave started, one of my friends got his 2 weeks after his terminal leave started. It’s pretty much dependent on whether your command has their sh*t together, fortunately mine has a lot of med board/Limdu service members so they are better at handling...

You will get an email saying a draft of your DD-214 has been uploaded to NSIPS. You have the option to either click “accept” or submit proposed changes. That way you won’t have any errors.

The narrative on my DD-214 (for my reason for separation) says “Disability, Permanent.” Does anyone know if this is the correct narrative? The VA rep is saying that in order to be eligible for my GI bill it needs to say “medical discharge.” However, when I Google possible narratives, it...

I’m staying with a friend in the area until I can afford to move.

I will have Tricare thankfully due to getting PDRL but even when I was active duty, I went out in town and tried to get therapy with Tricare but no one was really competent to treat PTSD, so I gave up on getting therapy. But now that im out of the military I realize I could use some mental...

I never got separation orders eithrr

Thank you so much

I’m really sorry for you that you reached that level of disability but I’m happy you got SMC, that is nice to be compensated. I got SMC-K and even though it’s only $118 extra per month, it feels like validation from the VA.

No idea. But that’s nice of your PEBLO to let you know your VA ratings. My PEBLO and I didn’t have a good relationship so she never kept in touch. Hoping for the best for you!

According to the VA website there are 3 criteria (you have to meet one of them) to get 100% of the GI bill, one is getting a Purple Heart after 9/11/01, the next is getting discharged for a service connected disability and served more than 30 days, the next is serving more than 36 months Well...
