rating

I am still trying to understand and research as much as I can about the process and likelihood of me getting out based on my current submitted package. Looking at other's timelines is the only thing keeping me sane and my anxiety somewhat in check. My NARSUM package doesn't fully exhibit the...

I have seen several past posts about specific language to include on the election form for IDES vs. LDES. I'm on the cusp of entering the DES and have an existing VA rating (100% P&T). PEBLO thinks I should elect LDES for the sake of time. I've read some compelling posts on this forum to NOT...

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...

Good Morning Everyone, First time poster and need some insight on what to expect going forward. I am active duty Air Force and have been in for 12 years. I've suffered from depression over the years and last year, it got the best of me. I self harmed, became an alcoholic, attempted to self...

I am currently at 17 years in the National Guard, with 8 years of active duty included in the time. Currently a traditional drilling guardsman. I am also rated at 90% (likely soon be at 100%) by the VA. Largest rating is 70% for PTSD (combat related) and 50% for sleep apnea. 20% for a shoulder...

I'm an active duty 26M E5 in the Navy with 7 years in and my EAOS is in 2 years. After experiencing severe pain in my shoulder I was diagnosed with Bursitis from urgent care. After a shot of Lidocaine I went on my way until the pain returned the next day. My PCM was informed of my insomnia...

Good morning to all, Can someone guide me on how they determine the rating for mental health. I thought I was being MED boarded for PTSD, but it's for MDD. Long question is, if my they rate me for MDD at 50%, do they even look at the PTSD. I just don't understand how they rate mental health...

Finally received my findings yesterday: 20% DoD/80% VA Timeline: 31JUL22 - Entered IDES process after 1 year Limited Duty MAR23 - VA Exams 18AUG23 - MEB complete, submitted to PEB 15SEP23 - VA Claim closed 05OCT23 - Found UNFIT by PEB (Email from PEBLO) 04DEC23 - Received DoD/VA Findings My...

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 was medboarded for cyclothymic disorder so that's what I claimed with the VA. Since then, the diagnosis was changed to Bipolar II. The va rating is 90% and the peb rating is 70%. Will filing an additional claim to add Bipolar II bump the VA rating up since it wasn't included with the original...

I'm going through a MEB, but I'm still waiting on my rating to come back. Just curious to see how long some people have had to wait before being paid disability after separating/retiring.

Va rating will be back in the next month. Curious to see if I should take leave now or wait for the rating.

Good evening, I just started the IDES process for referred conditions as “knee pain” and “knee instability.” I tore my ACL, PCL, and MCL and had 2 surgeries — all ligaments are now reconstructed. My questions is, with the VA rating chart for knees and ligaments, if someone has a prescribed brace...

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?

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...

Hello there, I'm new but in the process of being medically retired from the Air Force. I just received my findings and have gone over my options with my peblo, but I"m curious as to what happens to my compensation amount while being on TDRL. The Peblo mentioned that while on TDRL that my...
