    The most recent law that affects it is the REMOTE Act, which basically says that any classes through June 2022 that were going to be offered in person but were forced online due to Covid will be considered as resident training by the VA. You should check to see if your school has a...

    Finally got my DD214 last week! Got it sent in to my VA rep so they’ll have it on file. Official retirement is this Friday! Big question now will be to see if I get an MHA payment (GI Bill BAH) on February 1st since I’m in grad school. I’ve been using my GI Bill for awhile, but now I’ll...

    Just make sure that you get everything possible documented in your medical record while you're still active duty. As long as it's in your AD medical record, it should be fairly straightforward to file a disability claim with the VA and establish service connection.

    Lol at this nastygram I got from my senior enlisted leader today. I’m already on terminal leave and am with my family down in Texas, 1500 miles away from Norfolk.

    My command didn’t give a definitive answer but said they were pretty sure it’s a hard date.

    Also, saw a June 16th case receive findings on the fb group just now. Hoping you get an early Christmas miracle, POG.

    Well the good news is that sounds like at least the 70% rating for mental health, but more likely 100%. On my exam I remember they noted that I was not seeking mental health treatment though, so I’m not sure if that counts against you

    Just from your posts and direct messages on here, I think you should really try to get some help with your mental health. I know it's tough to push through the anxiety in order to talk to someone, but if your mental health is as bad as you've described it on here then you really should not be...

    Oh nice, that's exactly where I'll be. Moved the family down to Converse over the summer thinking I would be following right behind them. Only a few more weeks to go now...

    Lol no, that was the actual notification of my findings. No joke, when I saw the email my first thought was "Oh my God this email is already 28 minutes old!" Luckily the guy actually answered the phone though.

    Theoretically the pandemic delayed a lot of people starting their MEB process, so once things started to open up there was this flood of cases that was submitted. Or, like, that's at least what they're trying to tell us. But if it's true, the further out we get, the fewer cases we should see...

    Email from the MEB department head (who I have never met) that just said "I've received your PEB findings, please call me to discuss"

    The PEBLOs are COMPLETELY worthless. Mine didn't even tell me about my findings--apparently the MEB Dept Head sends out all the findings. So I don't even know what purpose the PEBLO serves other than to send your package off to the PEB and then never answer your questions.

    Retirement orders just came in. Looks like my retirement date is January 29th, but I'm trying to figure out if that's a no-later-than date. If so, I'd like to retire a little earlier, maybe the 26th or 27th, just to make sure I start receiving disability pay on March 1st instead of April 1st...

    No, the VA came up with that rating. That's what they decided. It will be finalized when you get your DD214. The only way it would change is if something changed with your status, like you had new C&P exams or something. Those ratings already went through so many steps to be reviewed and...

    Keep in mind that PEBLO's are talking out of their asses 100% of the time. He has no idea when it's going to be approved. That being said, the holidays aren't going to help the backlog. Hopefully you and POG can get your findings snuck in before Christmas stand-down, but it sounds like...

    Whats up marine brahs, I got my findings yesterday. Posted it over in the Navy thread which I know a few of you saw, but figured I'd post here as well just in case. My case was submitted to PEB on June 2nd and accepted the same day as far as I know. Overall my timeline was 159 days from PEB...
