Yes. You will have to start all over. Sorry!

WOW! Thanks for letting us all know. The marines was the hold out. The other branches did not have that exception. So it looks like now every branch is in the same boat. Need that DOD 30% or to hit 20 years or you are screwed.

I wish I could help but I am less versed in AF. If you have NLT and you are going to go past that you need orders to extend. HRC and JAG should able to get you the information needed. I am assuming the NLT is that you have orders expiring.

In the Army is most likely you will be kicked out. To request an exception you need to be in 15 years and after being found fit submit a COAD packet. The main issue is that if you try to minimize the condition it can hurt your DOD% and that's what a lot of Soldiers do trying to be found fit...

So have seen it go both ways. Its not a lock. How much are losing due to the VA offset? Have you applied for CRSC? If you can recoup the full loss from getting CRSC then that can make you whole. My wife was going to lose $1,500 from the VA offset. She had 17 AFS and a 20 year letter. She...

Check out Mike on here. He is a CRSC ambassador and he runs a Facebook page for CRSC. He should be able to help. @RetiredColonel-MikeT

Most Soldiers its the opposite. Their VA is larger than their chapter 61 pension and so most people are used to saying you won't get anything due to the VA offset. That's the main issue. For those who are high ranking (especially Officers and Warrant Officers) with a high DOD% they end up...

If your medical retirement pay is higher than your VA compensation then you get the difference. My wife is in the same boat. She was a Major and maxed out DOD at 75% and that amount was 6k which is higher than VA pay. So she gets 4k from the VA and 2k from her medical retirement.

Definitely hire an attorney. Most people can work. The bar is very high to get SSDI. You have to prove that you can't do any job at all. If you can sit for example in a chair you are employable for example and they will state that you can work at a booth collecting payments. It's super hard...

What were you referred for? Meaning did they give you a P3 profile for both those conditions? Most of the time the iPEB mirrors the NARSUM and the NARSUM typically has the referred conditions as unfitting. The key is to work on adding the missing unfit condition from the start. Make sure all...

Focus on getting the Meniere's diagnosis. Getting the diagnosis is key. The severity of the symptoms in totality and how it affects your ability to do your job in the military are what matters. Pretty much all these kinds of conditions will result in less favorable DOD% if the individual...

Oh man. Yeah if she checked that it was pending administrative separation then you are definitely going to be delayed. What is your relationship with your commander? Would she be willing to redo the form without checking the box for admin separation? If no, you will just have to wait.

Oh and the HIGH 3 is based on active duty tables. Forgot to mention that.

CRSC pay is based off of VA pay tables. CRSC is to help you recoup money lost due to the VA offset for combat related conditions. Sometimes people don't get any CRSC pay even if approved as there are limits. Your chapter 61 pay is 75% of your HIGH 3. 75% of your HIGH3 is much more than your...

Be careful. Just because the VA service connected your conditions doesn't mean the AF Reserves will determine your health conditions are duty related. Its fine if you are just trying to get out instead of waiting until your enlistment contract is finished but if you are planning on medically...

Everyone is biased. Such is life.

Not sure. Normally getting pinned on the last day doesn't increase pay at least for calculating HIGH 3. Severance is calculated on pay grade at time of separation. So I think you would get it based on SFC but I haven't read the actual text in a while.

So the most you can get is the combination of your earned longevity pension + VA disability. Right now you are getting paid at 70% but that's not the same as your earned guard pension. So you would need to calculate the value of your guard pension and add that amount to your disability pay...

How long have you been in? If in for 8 years or more then everything is service connected. All mental health issues are lumped together and so what matters more is your symptoms and what rating the symptoms will be rated.

Did you concur? Normally you have to sign off on the NARSUM by concurring or don't concur and then do an IMR and or Rebuttal. Nothing you can do until you get the NARSUM presented to you to concur or not. Typically the NARSUM will reflect the condition you were referred for even if you have...
