They kept saying $9 billion, making it sound like this would add that much to the NDAA, it would be less than $1 billion a year per CBO estimates. That’s nothing for a $927 billion dollar defense budget, fraction of a percent...

As title says looks like like the FY 2026 budget and NDAA Maj Richard Star act has traction. Bipartisan support, Contact your congressional reps. I contacted all 3 of my reps. This would impact about 50k veterans who are getting taxed by having their CRSC reduced. The text seems to read if...

Had a rough day, bad IBS episode. So getting some good news was needed. I’m just going to do the basic timeline -22 APR, Notification Army HRC in email CRSC packet was received. This aligned with USPS tracking as I mailed. -23 July- checked IPERMs and saw CRSC approval. YAY! 92 days. I now...

Probably COL Mike Question. Appears yes. I only applied for 2 PACT conditions. Sinusitis and Rhinitis because they were service connected and rated as presumptives for my services in Iraq. Along with those 2, I have 8 service connected disabilities. I think realistically 3-4 should be combat...

Why not. I think I know, I used the estimate website and the spreadsheet.appreciate it. Both methods above land around $550ish a month, just asking for a second look -NOT BRS(2008 discharge) -years of service: 6, 11 months (I was less than 2 weeks shy of 7 years) -DOD pay: 955(dfas gross before...

https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rules-unanimously-in-favor-of-back-pay-for-disabled-vets Soto fought this since 2016. The services limited backpay citing barring act. All those CRSC websites need to remove references the 6 year limit and barring act now! Soto along with Rudisill...

Yes I am somewhat aware of the 6 year retro pay limit the services using the barring ACT are applying. that is also being argued at the Supreme Court. So I fought the VA for a decade and got retroactive rating with an effective date of 2013 and a decision date of 2023, yes this did and does...

Preferably vets who have first hand experience with CRSC claims with PACT ACT. How did it go? Did they grant or deny? What did you claim? Reason for grant or denial. I am getting ready to wade in the CRSC arena. I am so used to fighting, that I feel weird when there isn’t a fight such as my...

Looking for success stories with CRSC sinusitis after PACT ACT passage. How did you win? Seems like you have to contend “instrumentality of War” seems like the Army has strategized since Pact Act passage and found creative ways to deny. member. I won PDBR and was granted medical retirement...

So I am 100% VA rated. I also realized I have had IBS, for quite a while. I started the diagnosis process with the VA. Been on IBS meds for a year, several sets of labs that show normal kidney and Liver function. So next is GI tests. They want more labs, stool, colonoscopy. Sounds all normal, as...

Hearing mixed things. The VA notoriously denies Gulf War claims. Anyone have success here? So the gulf war presumptive law 38 U.S. Code § 1117 - Compensation for disabilities occurring in Persian Gulf War veterans https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/38/1117 (B) A medically unexplained...

Seeking help and if worth it. Check my math. Thanks! I’m 100% p&t with VA. I’m 30% medically retired with 6 years 11 months. My info is below. I’m considering filing for IBS which is gulf war presumption. I have the diagnosis with the VA. The calculator below is based on 10% IBS rating. I...

I posted a thread about this already, but. So I started getting retirement money 3/1/2013. I got about $5K back pay for years retirement. This was out of $41K. So here is where that money went. $40,996.40-total gross pay -$7,314.00-total VA debt -$27,862.20-Total amount retroactive retired pay...

The VA has been recouping severance for about 4 years. My PDBR was settled, PAID and I get my monthly retirement starting this past March. I figure the VA owes me about $5K and counting they are still recouping even though DFAS used my back retirement money to settle my severance and DFAS paid...

Ok I did one of these before, but I have an updated one. I was discharged in 12/2007 with 2 conditions, only 1 was rated for 10%. I got severance. I applied for VA compensation in 11/2009, yes I know I was foolish to not apply within my first year. The VASRD was changed in 12/2008 and this...

From reading other threads on here, some of my fellow vets are making themselves crazy. I learned from my experiences with the PEB/MEB, the VA, and the PDBR, Just be patient. Is it right that they make us wait so long, no. However venting your frustrations with say Mr. Anderson at the PDBR...

So I had success. I filed a PDBR last year, but wrote/called and had them put a hold on it because my VA appeal was still pending. I had to file a congressional inquiry about my appeal which finally prompted the DRO to move forward after over a year. They increased my rating from 10% to 20%...
