Hello, There are some major issues I have ran into after receiving my MEB packet and would like to get a headstart before seeing legal (Army Active Duty). After reviewing my packet I noticed that one of my claimed conditions had no medical basis per the VA. This immediately raised red flags as...

I was wondering if someone could explain to me like I am 5 years old, the difference between the Integrated DES and the Legacy DES. If you elect the LDES which, from what I am seeing, goes much quicker are you locked into that DOD rating forever? How does that effect the medically retired vs...

Hello, I just started the IDES process. I wanna know if I can enroll in SUDCC without it complicating the process. I haven’t done anything to jeopardize me yet, but I’m so close to get getting out, and I really want to keep myself out of trouble. Obviously, it’s really easy to just say no, but…...

My RILO was sent up with "Do Not Retain", so I am doing some preparation for the likely outcome of a MEB. My condition on its own only rates 20% tops. Does this mean this is the most I can get from the DoD rating? Or can I also couple in secondary conditions with the DoD rating (ROM, migraines...

I know this gets brought up every year but does anyone actually know what to expect with the possibility of a shutdown? I’m currently awaiting the final sign off for my case after the VA completed my VARR and sent it out to the PEB on sep 16th. Will there be a total shutdown or just a slow down...

Hi, my MEV process started since January 2025. I completed my C&P exams in April 2028 and everytime I call the VA over the past month they say I’m in step 5. I’m getting so antsy waiting. The VA has had my claim’s for 4 months now and I’m just wondering if anyone else has recently went through...

My NARSUM was sent in on Jan 25th, It has been over a month can anyone give me any details or a rough timeline on this? Peblo keeps saying it is not moving but he see everyone else's being moved and it is just making me stressed out more then a normal person should.

Hello, I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows if folks' severance checks are part of their last paycheck that’s delayed or when one could expect to receive them. DFAS and my local AF base finance weren’t helpful at all.
