    Info on VARR

    Thanks Tony292, I was actually using your example as a template. At any point did you get information on why the VA rated you as they did? I keep trying to get the VA to send me the proposed ratings package in the hopes that it will show their justification, but they keep telling me that I am in...

    Info on VARR

    I got copies when I got my MEB findings. I raised concerns with my MSC, but was told it would not matter. Well it does. I contacted OSC but they said I had to wait until I get my PEB findings back before I could start to work with them. There are obvious errors on my CP exams that appear to have...

    Info on VARR

    I have been told I am unfit, but I am still awaiting my DA 199. I have also been told my proposed ratings and I disagree with three of them. Will there be information given to me as to why the VA rated unfitting conditions like they did? I am just trying to get a head start on my VARR request...

    Well, I already know my proposed ratings are incorrect. So, I will be requesting a VARR. Not sure how long that will take. As far as drilling, my state has a MTU(Medical Transition Unit) that is a non-drilling unit. We attend our appointments as split train so that we can still get UTA's for the...

    Will VA be backdated

    Thank you for the information. I have been rated 60% since 2003, so every year I have to pay back some VA money. I guess I will see what happens. Since I am not active duty but most likely will be medically retired it is unclear if the VA portion will be backdated to the original claim or the...

    I have seen enough NARSUM's that I felt comfortable skipping legal. I suggest if anything looks odd or you don't understand something, then to contact them. It should only take a couple of days.

    I did not have them review. I know it was an option, but I was more concerned with getting my stuff moving along. I believe I have a good idea of my ratings as long as the PEB finds my five conditions unfitting.
