WOW!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS INFO! I have not yet heard about this.I have filled out the application, but it doesn't list that I need to mail in anything else with it- I guess I have to wait until the come back to us for more. But thanks so much! A monthly stipend would be so helpful...

Thanks everybody! Very good advise from all and it certainly eased my mind. I didn't know I could go to appointments with him. I had already thought of writing a supportive statement, since I am really the one on the back end having to compensate for the effects of his TBI/Migraines/PTSD...

Hello again! It has been a while since I posted- since posting last, my husband was medically retired, and has received a combined rating of 90% from the VA as follows: 70% PTSD 40% DDD with chronic pain s/p surgery 30% TBI with migraine headaches 10% right knee 10% right shoulder So- here...

Hello again! Just realized I might have miss-posted this in the wrong forum- my apologies... It has been a while since I posted- since posting last, my husband was medically retired, and has received a combined rating of 90% from the VA as follows: 70% PTSD 40% DDD with chronic pain s/p...

DFAS link does not work for me on a Mac Computer... But your example gives me a pretty good idea how to calculate it. Thanks... Ursula

Thanks for the clarification that the Army makes the determination which of the disability ratings are "combat related". And also thank you for the links. If all of the 90% from the VA is determined to be combat related (which we have solid documentation that it is), can you help with the...

Hello all, my husband was medically retired Jan 31, 2012 (Chapter 61) with 40% (combat related) for 1 disability (multiple back surgeries after IED blast). He did receive a purple heart for the incident that cause the disability. He had 9.6 years in service as an E5. his retirement pay is...

Of course this was the PEB results, not MEB. Still getting it mixed up ;)

Hubby FINALLY received his rating today after over 108 days of waiting. Happy to report that he received 40% PDR for DDD and chronic neuralgia Now hopefully we won't have to wait long for the release message and orders, so we can get on with our lives. Thank you all for the support:)

Husbands rating finally came through today. See new post for more info.

Just as expected - NOTHING although he is told over and over that he is to be rated next week...

Still waiting...who else is? According to our PEBLO, we are listed as waiting for 107 days now (our count is a few days less, but if that is what her list says....so be it). She saying that we are on #4 on our installations list to get rated and that the SFC in VA told her we should receive...

NARSUM only lists 1 condition as chief complaint, when i believe it should be mor Corey, as far as I interpret your description of facts I would say that sadly, they are right. If your other condition don't call for a "3" on your profile, you will only be rated for them with the VA. I am...

Our PEBLO said they were operational three weeks ago. Then supposedly their electronic submission system was down. And now, no one answers phone's or emails. It's just so frustrating, guess I needed to vent. But thanks for your input, guess I am not the only one waiting!

Hello all, the MEB was received by PEB in Walter Reed JULY 1. As of this afternoon, no rating. 95 days and counting!! PEBLO unable to reach anybody in WR. I am wondering if anybody else stationed in Germany has been waiting this long? Any suggestion what can be done? Thanks!

That's great news! So they are actually up and running at Walter Reed then?..lol. I guess there is hope that they might get to ours sometime soon then... Update us with the results!

"They" did the same to my husband. Changed it from degenerative disc disease after 2 herniated disc surgeries to "chronic pain status post surgeries". I believe it is in the favor of the Military, I don't see us getting over 30% for chronic pain. After 2 years of waiting for a P3 profile, my...

Urworshipgal: Thanks for your fast reply. I contacted the person in lieu for the PEBLO and she was able to get the AKO info updated. So, obviously they received it the same day it was submitted (since it was done electronically). Anyway, with looking at your timeline and the move of the...

Dear Forum Members: it took some time and a few AKO-Tickets to get my husbands myMEB feature on AKO to work. Finally, we were able to check it this morning and the last update is Date MEB Forwarded to PEB: 07/01/2011. We are a bit concerned, shouldn't it have some type of update that it has...

Good Morning, thank you all for the responses. The PA agreed to change/update the profile and resubmit it. Case Manager and Med Board Doc are aware of it too- seems to be too easy to be true, but we shall see. As far as the "ratable" conditions go: has anyone gotten a link to the referenced...
