So today marks exactly one month from my ETS date. I went through IDES (Army) and was rated 20% DOD and 90% VA. I still haven’t seen any of the severance pay they said would show up and from what I’ve gathered this is about the point most people have seen it. Who should I call to see if there’s...

I accepted my findings 10/25/2023, anyone knows how long it takes to get your EAS date changed?

I called the VA because it showed that I had received a letter but couldn't see it on the app, they sent me one through the email, opened it up and saw the so called "Proposed rating" .. How likely is it that the rating will change to more or less once my PEBLO calls me up to sign ?? Also I...

I got out on jan 2020 and was placed on Tdrl at 70% I just recently got increased to 100% and placed on pdrl or permanent was wondering now that I get retirement pay would I get backpay as well and how far does it stretch back .

Hello All, I was med discharged from the navy in 2008 at 10% and severance. I knew this was bogus at the time, but I had little recourse. The PDBR got me upgraded to 30%. Back in 2008, the VA also rated me at 10%. I think they were basing that on what the Navy had decided. So now I have 30%...

Would using a highlighter to highlight relevant diagnoses and injuries in my MIL med records and bringing it to my C&P Exams be a good idea? Would it be helpful to the person/doctor/NP to find the relevant info faster for my claim?

I was on a Med Board that ended up being canceled. I'm now doing the final physical and am filling out "DD Form 2807-1 Report of Medical History". On box 29 it tells you to provide an explanation of all the questions you answered YES to. Should I be super detailed with it, or would saying...

Both the closed claim and the one that looks like it is still open we’re both submitted on the same date. I have only seen one of these claims dated for the 23rd of March until a few days ago. I am currently going through IDES and was curious if this is something others have seen, or did they...
