I was just reading over some of the post I submitted to this fourm, wow last one in Sept 2009... Its been a long haul and a depressing one, many appeals that were denied, then a appeal to the PDBR and in 2014 I got a notice that the PDBR has found that I should be medically retired at 70%.

Just an updated from my Army PDRB "disability retirement 70%"

Everybody situation is different, I would have taken the 30% at my PEB to get med retirement. My time line started in 2006, so weight your options. I just received notification my application was received at the PDBR intake unit. Letter states it could take approximately 15 months to finalize.

The VA appeal I filed came back after at 60%.

I was extended twice while I was going through MEB/PEB I was in PA NG.

Jason Is there any case laws on the appeal process yet for the pilot program. I appealed my rating through the VA, I recieved a SOC, and recently recieved a SSOC. In the SSOC the VA has increased my 0% rating to 50%. They give me two choices: 1) I wish to continue my appeal to the...

I can tell you from experience it is not automatic, I was rated 30% from Phila VA for a service connected injury that I filed on my own. Later I was sent for a MEB/PEB with the NG and was found unfit for duty, sent through the DOD/VA pilot program at Ft Meade. Was then sent to Baltimore...

VA sent me a new SOC this one changes my 0% rating to 50% and back dates it to date left active duty. But it only addresses one condition not both that I appealed. If I take this I should now be medically retired right? Any one going through this process?

Has anyone appealed there ratings from the DOD/VA pilot program?

Just keeping fourm updated. File Appeal to the board of veterans appeals today.

You can request a copy any time you have a claim. It took me over a year to get it, when I requested my C-file from the Philadelphia VA I was told 3 months later they could not give it to me because Blatimore VA had it for the DOD/VA pilot program.

FYI About a year ago I requested a copy of my C-file from the VA so I could prepare for my MEB/PEB. I received it yesterday. I started going through it and found that I was denied a claim because of a medical opinion from a VA examiner. The VA examiner stated my secondary condition was not...

Update: My DRO was denied I now have a Statement of the Case and will have to file an appeal. I will update when I get to next step.

I submitted a letter requesting the reconsideration and reason why. I sent medical evidence, I feel this was a BS DRO review at the DOD/VA MEB/PEB level. The reconsideration came back denied. I was then discharged and now I have to wait for the appeal process with the VA.

Hi, look at a some of my post on here. I went throgh the DOD/VA program at Ft Meade. I agreed with DOD but not VA findings, I'm now discharged with severance and wating for a VA appeal process. ( could take years I was told). My advice use all legal resourses available to you, I was...

Just an update; still waiting for my DRO from VA. I started recieving disability severance payments,this week. Paying me in payments of $9999.00 at a time.

I have a question maybe someone can answer. I went through the DOD/VA pilot program for my MEB/PEB. In my case I agreed with the PEB and requested reconsideration for the VA rating. This then went back to the VA for a decision review officer to review. Within 2 weeks I received a memorandum...

You will have to be on orders to get on base, your reserve unit will proberly put you on travel orders. If still in reserves you should have an ID card, if not get one before you go.

I was rated at 30% by VA before my MEB/PEB; after going through the DOD/VA Piolt program the VA reduced me to 0%. Now I'm in the appeal process. So I would say yes they can down grade you.

Hanging in there Just an update; I'm still waiting for my case to be reviewed by a VA DRO. I'm still monitioring this fourm to stay informed. I will update when my case is reviewed. Oh yea...go Phillies.....
