I think you can but I am not 100% certain. You would need to speak with your PEBLO and legal counsel to see if you can forgo receiving disability severance pay.

If the PEB finds you unfit and the rating for your referred condition(s) is less than 30% then you will be medically separated. In this scenario you are entitled to disability severance pay. Here is the DFAS link for how disability severance pay is calculated. <Defense Finance and Accounting...

Transistion PTAD is 20 days and is given to Marines that are retiring or involuntarily separated. You would be entitled to the 20 days PTAD if you were medically separated as well. " F. OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MARINES WHO HAVE AN APPROVED SEPARATION FOR DISABILITY WITH SEVERANCE PAY OR...

If your referred condition is deemed unfitting by the PEB then the 10% rating from the VA will be the rating for your referred condition. The VA provides both ratings. PEB says fit or unfit. If unfit the PEB will request ratings from the VA. The VA will provide a rating for referred...

DoD ratings are often times lower than VA ratings because the VA is rating all service connected conditions while the DoD rating is only derived from referred conditions determined to be unfitting by the PEB.

I wish my PEBLO had shared this with me. He just keeps saying no update and no timeline.

Unfortunately Marines do not have something equivalent. It would be nice if we did though

Entered IDES process in August 2020. Wasn't scheduled for exams until Feb/March 2021. NARSUM came back mid April. Requested an Independent Provider Review and submitted an appeal. MEB rebutted my appeal on 7 May and the MEB submitted everything to the PEB on 14 May. Received an MOL notification...

My case went to the PEB on 14 May. Nothing yet from the PEB but the VA has already proposed a rating so I'm hopeful that I will get something from the PEB soon

You should not PCS while going through the IDES process. They had my orders written up as a PCA instead of a PCS so they could get around the rules and move me. By the order it was still a PCS because I would be changing parent commands and changing bases but they were calling it a PCA because...

I've been told that Navy/Marine PEB cases all go through the DC office (I guess it is the only one) regardless of geographic location of the member going through the IDES process. This likely contributes to the longer wait when compared to the Army/Air Force. I started the IDES process in...

Update: My case has been at the PEB since 14 May and we are still waiting for a fitness determination. However, my VA claim is complete and my PEBLO "unofficially" informed me that the VA rated me at 100%. Nothing shows in ebenifits yet but I can see that my case is closed by using the claims...

Thank you for your thoughts. I came into this knowing it was a long shot. All the searching I've done suggests my odds of a fit finding are pretty low because of the need for taking blood thinners indefinitely. I did speak with legal counsel on my desire to be found fit. Nothing was down played...

Active duty with 16 years in service. Referred to PEB for "Recurrent Venous Thrombo-embolism on Indefinite Anticoagulation I82" and "Migraine headaches G43.001." I desire to be found fit. Post service employment isn't a concern, I just desire to continue my service so I can realize career goals...
