Howdy, just doing some nightly overthinking here and ran across a question I cannot seem to find an answer to. Navy AD 9 years. I am referred to IDES for MH but getting a physical condition added. Based off the 38 CFR, my physical condition should be rated 60% by the VA, and it has been chronic...

I am currently going through a MEB. Today, my case closed on VA.gov. My case is being sent over to the DOD for their ratings. How long does it take to hear back from the DOD? Just want to manage my expectations.

Currently going through the IDES process active duty Space Force. I just signed my Form 618. What is the timeline to see results on fit/unfit? How long does it take from here to get ratings from the DOD and VA? I know my PEBLO has told me there is currently a backlog and I could be looking at a...

Background: I had a shoulder injury while PT'ing at work in February 2019 that finally progressed to LIMDU on 30DEC19, surgery in July 2020, and Medboard referral in March 2021. I was already in the BDD program so I had my C&P exams a few weeks before I was referred to a Medboard. The results...

Hi all, Thanks for the help, support and resources I have always gotten from this forum. I am currently on TDRL for PTSD/MDD at 70% and VA 100% P&T. Yesterday I received an email from QTC to schedule a reevaluation. I was medically retired (TDRL) on 30 OCT 2019 so it has only been about 8...

I am an active duty Army with 4 years of service.. Met with my peggy on Monday and got the following Findings: 90% DOD TDRL and 100% VA (along with a letter together with a form, from the VA that is suggesting that I should file a separate claim for eustachian tube dysfunction). I must admit I...

Hello all, I am having trouble navigating the regulations and rules regarding severance pay due to the fact that I spent roughly 5 years in the Army Reserves (2008-2013), and since 2013, have been a Regular Army Soldier. I reclassed and went full time. My referred condition is genetic, and...

***VA VOC REHAB is seen as full-time job by PEB and you may suffer. *** I have THREE doctors (1 NAVY 1 VA 1 CIV) all agree w/ severity and no improvement. The board at first cherry picked med files, but after new doctor claims were submitted, they moved from looking at medical and commented that...

The PEB first rated me 30% for my back but when the breakdown on VA side didn't match the PEB lowered it and made it 30%. I got hit by a car on base while walking I've been dealing with non stop back pain for 3 years I've had 2 back surgeries all while on active duty. My overall percentage...

Hello quick question I got my findings today but they had to send it back because I had two different ratings for the same injury. I was wondering has this happen to anyone and what could the outcome be? PEB said 30% and Va said 20% but overall VA is giving me 80%

I'm new to this and been reading over this forums for a while now. My question is with SSDI will my ratings and unfit memo be helpful with my appeal since i was denied 1st time go. Second question if I submit the form to be IU will i need any addition documents. My Med Board process I think was...

When my DOD findings came back they used the term not directly related to combat. I was referred to the board for PTSD from combat experiences. Anyone dealt with this and can explain it to me?

Last week I found out the VA had completed my ratings on their side. The letter has been sent but I have not received it in the mail yet. How long between VA ratings and DOD ratings are people experiencing right now? What is the next few steps after that. I really just want to know how much time...

I recently had a C&P exam (C Spine and Lumbar) conducted by QTC on July 12 for a possible ratings increase. Then, two weeks later, I was finally accepted into the IDES process and contacted by my PEBLO. Three weeks after the ratings increase QTC exam I was scheduled by the VA to have my IDES...

Guys... -_- I received my FPEB package today and conducted a review over it today with my PEBLO via telephone. I'm being boarded for MDD and Social Anxiety with Panic Attacks (my only unfitting conditions). All of my medical records support these two diagnoses, including my NARSUM. One of the...

I never understood why DOD ratings always seem to be lower than VA ratings. How does the DOD decide their ratings? What information do they go off of to determine their ratings?

Hi all! Thank you to everyone who always shows support and offers advice in this forum. It is because of you all that others are able to keep their sanity and head in the right direction with their questions. My husband's NARSUM was signed Feb. 22, 2016 for Ulcerative Colitis and UC-related...
