So I’m a little confused . I’ve been seeing a neurologist for Migraines for 2 years and on a permanent profile and adjusted work schedule because of them . I miss work once a week because of them . It’s documented in my commanders statement as well as medical records . I just received my Narsum...

Hey y'all. I am a prior service guy (10THMTN 2012-2015) who came back to Active Duty in late 2019 which in hindsight was against my better judgement. During training this past summer in Hell Paso, I suffered a form of a heat stroke and was not MEDEVAC'd for 2+ hours, while seizing, vomiting...

I wanted to provide some lessons learned and resources to those going through the IDES process to either make their transition a bit easier or facilitate resolutions to some common issues that arise during the process. 1) Career Readiness: If you don’t know what Operation Warfighter is, you...

If I'm on a Med Board, is it okay to upload additional evidence on eBenefits for my claims? I was wanting to highlight relevant diagnoses and injuries in my med records, then upload them so the VA Rater would have an easier time finding everything. Would this be okay or could it mess up my Med...

Good Afternoon Everybody, I’m a new user but have been reading these forums religiously since starting my medboard process back in September. I’ve seen countless people on here discuss getting their preliminary ratings well before getting their 199. However, I’ve been told by both my MSC and...

Been in the navy for 4 years and have been going through a medboard for the past 5 months or so. I signed my NARSUM a month ago and it was received about 3 weeks ago. From everything I’ve been told, my odds of staying in are slim due to my diagnosis (bipolar II), the severity of my symptoms, my...

Good morning Ladies and Gents, I come seeking guidance. Background: I'm an Infantry Sgt with almost 8 years TIS. In 2017-2018 I was on two periods of LIMDU for low back pain (degenerative L5-S1 disc) and hip pain (labral tear). While on LIMDU I had a hip arthroscopy to repair the labral tear...

What determines fit or unfit for duty? I have been referred a meb for back pain. However I have other serious psychological issues and other problems. I have included everything in va claim, wondering if peb looks only for boarded condition or every thing included in the claims? thank you

Hello PEB forum, I am new to the forum and would like to reach out for some help from the group. I am trying to find a IDES/VA attorney as I do not wish to use the counsel provided by the MED board office at the naval hospital for lack of confidence in the process and incentive for them. I...

Afternoon! Question: How long to exit the Navy if my PEB board was submitted late December. (If found unfit of course ) I was told 4-6 weeks for fit or unfit/findings then as you know 90 days after that a leave date? Lawyer said it’s “often less than that at Great Lakes” and was wondering if...

Hello all. Figured I’d post my current timeline in hopes to help someone out to kinda estimate their timeline like I’ve been doing with others. Current AD stationed at Ft Bliss. This timeline might be a little different than most because I was in MAR2 about 2 years ago and was able to fight the...

Before I start I want to say that I have already talked to lawyers at the DSO and they have told me they are unsure about my case since it is unique. I started my medboard back in July just recently finished my c&p exams back in October. In early September I tested positive on urinalysis for thc...

I'm Active Duty Marines, on a Med Board for Mental Health Conditions. I didn't want to write a personal statement letter in fear of it somehow backfiring, but the Disability Evaluation System (DES) Attorney really wants me to. She sent me a template for guidance and wants to go over it with me...

So... it actually upset me to get this news. Its been about two weeks since I signed my NARSUM so this morning sep 14th 2020 I emailed my peblo asking for an update on my Fit/UNfit memo. She replied with "Good Morning, As of Friday, September 14, 2020 the PEB will no longer be sending...

Im hoping the answers here helps others who have the same questions as me... About how long after you signed your NARSUM did you get your FIT/UNFIT MEMO? After being found UNFIT and getting your ratings what is there left in the process to do (im assuming you just wait for your orders and if so...

Can Med Board discharge you as a "Condition Not A Disability"? I'm Active Duty, USMC and I was put onto a Med Board due to my mental health conditions. In my treatment records from one of the first MTF psychologist I saw, upon arriving to my first duty station, she said my conditions were...

I'm Active Duty USMC and am on a Med Board. If you end up being offered severance pay and not medical retirement (because of a DOD rating less than 30%), do you have to pay it all back before you can collect ANY VA Disability compensation? I was under the assumption you couldn't even collect a...

I'm trying to get ahead of the game, as I haven't been assigned an MSC yet. I heard they will have you fill out part of the VA Form 21-0819 when you meet with them. I was wondering about "Section 11. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS". So, this part isn't a trick or anything correct? This is where I need...
