I will be retired on 29 January. I am trying to figure out roughly what my CRSC will come out to. I already had the packet prepared by awesome civilians at my SRU. Specifics... I am a SFC (E-7). I will have 13 years and 10 months TIS at time of retirement. My proposed VA rating is 100% and my...

Depends on the restrictions on your profile. My BH profile at the time MEB was initiated had restrictions like no weapon or ammo access and no field/ austere environment. So for me as an 11B SFC I obviously can't be a platoon sergeant with those restrictions.

Your lawyer is just regurgitating what the doctrine says. That is what lawyers do. They stopped doing it that way to our benefit. If they waited to submit your claim for ratings until you were found unfit every Medboard would easily take 12-15 months instead of 9-12. Now I will say that the VA...

Real close man. Multiple people on here who were September PEB submissions have been getting their findings and wrapping up.

That was me. My final paperwork was waiting on a signature from the Army PEB. My PEBLO kept telling me we just had to wait. I finally asked to speak to a supervisor and suddenly there was a way to expedite my case. My PEBLO put my job offer into a 5 W's format in a PDF submitted it and...

Seems like September PEB submissions are wrapping up now. I got my disposition today. My VA case took around 90 days from submission to case closed.

It used to be correct that the VA would not rate you until you were found UNFIT by your services PEB. That is not the case any longer. My MSC told me because of how long it takes to process a claim they start processing as soon as your last exam uploads to Tricare Online. Example...my last...

If anyone has any questions I am here to help. Seems like PEB submissions from September are closing out now.

Not going to lie to you. Its possible. My BH condition has been up and down since 2015 so I didn't have to worry about that. I do know that for BH MEB purposes the term "Chronic" is important. Chronic doesn't mean serious to the Army...it means persisted longer than 6 months and isn't expected...

I would assume that's just a paperwork issue. Not your problem. Step 1 was your BH provider recommending your for an MEB...they should be putting you on a P3 profile simultaneously if you aren't already on one. Step 2 will be waiting for a meeting that is held monthly...sometimes...

Are you active duty and Army?

Also you aren't actually going to get a letter right now. No matter what the APP says. Your PEBLO should give you the letter with your proposed VA ratings when you get your official disposition after the PEB is done with you. After you actually separate you will get the official ratings letter...

Getting the VA person from the hotline to send you your ratings is all luck. Most of them see the note on your case that you are in IDES and will direct you to your PEBLO. My VA MSC gave me my DOD and VA ratings. They have access to the same system your PEBLO does. My PEBLO got super frustrated...

Yeah he was TDIU. It says in the article he was in the VA Individual Unemployability program. He might have been volunteering some of his time but he was definitely getting paid or this wouldn't even be an issue.

All im going to say is they didn't ask for any proof that I have employment locked in. I really do but all they asked for was the who, what, when, where and why. My PEBLO put that in PDF format and submitted it to the PEB as a request to expedite. A lot of people on here were telling me they...

He was definitely TDIU. If you are just rated 100% combined you can work whatever hours you want and make a billion dollars. It doesn't affect employment at all. You are also not obligated under any circumstances to disclose VA disability to any employer. If you have mental health conditions for...

I am hearing no more than 1 business week for orders after guys are signing their 199. You're right there.

My PEBLO and MSC are telling me that the Army's PEB which is in TX is as backed up and slow as its ever been right now. They have a huge backlog of cases right now.

Your disposition and ratings are available weeks before your PEBLO tells you what they are. They play this game where they don't tell you because its considered unofficial until the PEB puts it on the actual document which for the Army is a DA 199.

My MSC gave me my disposition and ratings a month ago. Apparently its a big deal that he did that because its considered unofficial until you actually receive it from your PEBLO. Im waiting on the final signature from the PEB. Its the last step of the PEB. After that for the Army at least your...
