    Just finished my VA Exams

    I got a copy of my DBQs from my PEBLO. When my ODC JAG lawyer comes back from vacation, he wants to see them so he could give me his advice of what he thinks.

    Brother, I'm sorry for this fight you have. I cannot honestly say that my Wing (Im Air Guard actually 'denied' my LOD process because they just never did it in a timely fashion. But once they started it, mine was found ILOD all the way to my Wing commander. I had to wait for NGB to find ot ILOD...

    I thought I answered this already; my bad; yes. And thus far, he has been nothing short of awesome for me. Now realize this is after my IPEB, FPEB, him helping me with my LOD going through my Wing, and helping it along through NGB. I have talked to him even off-duty hours. He acts like he's my...

    I'm sorry for you, brother. As @cullenrp stated, this issue is is all-too-well as I am currently in the NDDES process (I'm Air Guard- FedTech). I started my process through Mental Health where my Dir of Psychological Health did my NARSUM and turned it over to MDG before they shipped it off to...

    Soto Prevailed Soto v US. No more bogus 6 year CRSC retro pay limit. Supreme Court rules unanimously 9-0 in favor of vets.

    It's about time the veterans get some support from up high. I hope and pray this is a more positive sign of good things to come for veterans...

    Roger that and I understand. As a prior civilian law enforcement officer for 19 years, I'd like to think my bullshit meter still works, but I definitely wouldn't rule out the fact that it may be hard broke... lol! Again, I could be wrong, but based on our long conversation (nothing of which I...

    Trust me, I asked that question specifically because what you stated; this is time delayed for me. He told me that, until the IPEB is complete, there is nothing for me to appeal. He said his office cannot take the case. I sent many documents prior to me knowing that, of course. He seems like a...

    Hello brother. I haven't even made it out of the NGB part of the house yet. My paperwork has been there since January of this year (2024) and I see on my IMR "AAC 31/DAV 41" and "AAC 37/DAV 42" but I don't know what that specifically means. All I know is one means it's temporary and the other...

    Rog, and copy all. I was just curious as to why. I have read what you stated and have been splitting hairs with this. Dont forget to add to the retired O5 Medic the fact that he trains Medical Service Providers, the ones that evaluate our claims in the MEB/PEB phase... lol! Again, thank you...

    So you say don't choose LDES, but the retired O5 Medic who also now trains MSCs (and one of the folks who's advice I followed that got me 100% P&T) tells me to file LDES (I also sent him my VA explanation of benefits,the CIS, and the form 4 I attached here). I've been dealing with him for 5...

    Man, reading all of this doesn't give me hope at all! I definitely appreciate all of the stories and the candor here. This information obviously helps and will help lots of veterans. So my story (I'll try to be short)- 48 years of age, 29 years all Louisiana Air Guard, prior 'E' O-5, multiple...
