    MEB Process for PTSD and MDD

    I feel you...My first MyFSS came 8 July... and I feel so behind. My MSC told me to f* off in not those exact words but close. Praying that some result will come out by 8 September but each day is harder and harder. I've been in this process since last year July.

    Curious

    From what I understand yes, you would get the lump sum at the beginning and then your "full" VA check will come in once that has been paid in full. I would read some documents though, because I have heard there's an exception if you get 100% VA? But that could totally be rumor mill.

    AF: Anyone choose Legacy DES over IDES? Timeline?

    Long story short, I originally opted for LDES, but the decision was overturned by my base mental health. As I'm nearing the end of my med board, I'm honestly thankful that the system will handle both percentages for me. It's easy to get screwed in this process. Even though I thought I wanted the...

    Diagnosed Today

    There are a couple factors that go into it: will the condition improve within a year? How long have you had this condition? Only your PCM can really get you an answer for it. Some member's records trigger an AMRO but it doesn't go anywhere long-term.

    JBAB PTSD/MDD Timeline

    One thing that I've done recently is taking Monday and Fridays off. Mentally, I've been able to accomplish more like exercising, cooking healthy meals, and doing projects around the house. I'm not allowed "traditional leave" its just "leave aka sitting at my house local area". But its made time...

    Air Force – Overseas IDES MEB Timeline

    I was soooo set on keeping my 69.5 days of leave to add for terminal, but honestly, I just need to get my son to start school on time and my VA benefits to kick in. I have too many meds to leave up in the air. We're moving from the lower West continental U.S. to Alaska, and yeah, there are still...

    JBAB PTSD/MDD Timeline

    I'm right behind you..except my PEBLO is about 6 weeks late to submit my final packet to AFPC. Every week it seems like my package moves back 2 steps then up only one step. I honestly thought I was going insane this week. Eternal groundhog day.

    JBAB PTSD/MDD Timeline

    This gives me a bit of hope that some of my paperwork will at least make it up to the IPEB soon. I haven't heard anything for a hot minute now :( looking at all of the boards and comparing the branches, the Air Force is definetely moving the slowest. I can't imagine what's been happening with...

    Vandenberg SFB IDES f/PTSD+MDD

    The psych evaluation was the worst out of the three... it was extremely tough mentally and physically. She questioned every little thing from the beginning of time. I was in tears about 10 minutes not only from rehashing very very detailed memories but feeling like she didnt believe me about...

    Post 9/11 GI Bill and service connected disability for Junior Officers

    Hey I've been in the same boat, and to answer your question YES if you're medically retired but NO if medically separated. You can get VR&E though in any case through the VA, just depends if yours are service connected.

    Active USAF - Tinker AFB - MH MEB timeline

    I was just going through this, trying to ask for copies of my DBQs. Went through base records, genesis, VA, QTC... no go for all of them. Only the VA said they could release it, but only after I've been given ratings. I would also need to provide a FOIA, according to my regional center. This may...
