No, I never got any of that. My command was never helpful in the past, now that I’m out I don’t expect them to be of much help either

Yeah, theoretically. I want to know if I’ll be fighting the VA forever for my money or if they really do pay on time

For those of you who have already medically separated/retired, how long did it take for the VA to pay you your first payment?

Like I mentioned, starting your terminal leave is dependent on how much leave you have saved up. It will be different for each person. Once you get your retirement message, you will have to count back from the date you see on your retirement orders. It can take a few weeks to get your retirement...

It depends how much you saved up and, if I’m not mistaken, whether you are medically separated or medically retired. I was told that since I was medically retired I would be entitled to 20 days of job hunting/house hunting leave, so I got a free 20 days. Basically, they count back from your new...

A year ago today I was an inpatient in a military psych ward, frightened and heavily medicated. Today I medically retired. Life can change around and be wonderful. I’m still working toward recovery but I have hope for the future. Just don’t lose hope.

Throughout the check out process, my command has had me fill out various questionnaires asking me where I will move to. I did some more research and decided I would, in fact, like to move out of the area. However on these questionnaires I wrote down I'd be staying in the area. I asked someone...

My VA claims never closed online. I got my proposed ratings along with my fit/unfit decision and my DOD percentage.

It also depends on the D-RAS rater. I was supposed to get an extra 10% because the examiner checked off the box that I am not able to cross my legs but I never ended up getting that extra 10%. I didn’t care in the end because I got 100% P&T, plus SMC-K.

Yes my whole process was very fast. Thank goodness. Your separation date won’t necessarily be 90 days out, mine was less than 60 days out

yeah. The world’s greatest Navy. Now it’s time to treat myself to some Netflix, wine, and pizza delivery.

Unfortunately the VA has to “approve” the surgery in order for me to get any care from them. I was medically retired for my other injuries but my main injury that I’ll need surgery on first was deemed not service connected for whatever reason. What can I say, my C&P examiner was a bag of ass...

I’m in a fairly unique situation and would appreciate any assistance brainstorming ideas what to do. First of all I am single with no friends or family in the area. I will need multiple major surgeries. I was medically retired for my issues, PDRL. I am not concerned with VA disability, I have...

OK, please delete if this is not allowed. I went through a lot of mental anguish in the military and have hopes my PTSD will calm down after I leave. The med board process was extremely stressful for me. I enrolled in college starting only a few weeks after I leave the military. My academic...

Same, every time I called, they wouldn't tell me, so I just gave up calling and trying. I do know a lot of people that got lucky but I wasn't one of them.

I got an email.
