Though the condition was listed as causing occupational impairment, it was not added to my MEB and noted as “no current diagnosis” but technically I do because it was diagnosed at my QTC appointment. Will this be considered an...

    Has anyone’s else’s mental health QTC exam results matched or not matched their ratings? Like do they go strictly by the QTC exam or do they look at your records as well for ratings?

    Knee Ratings/Potential Reconsideration

    Friends, I am in the MEB process and have just received my proposed rating. Of course, my QTC exam is very inaccurate. 10 of 12 pages have errors. The VA rated me at 10% for each knee. I do feel that this is very "under-rated" (I have severe arthritis in both knees, and have had 6 surgeries to...

    Medical Retirement, Payment, etc.

    So I got my Ratings yesterday. 50% DoD and 80% VA. I got the paperwork saying how much I'll be paid by the VA, but will I get anything from the DoD side? It's all confusing. My IPEB came back with Permanent Retirement so I'm not sure how it works. Do I still get severance pay? Thanks in advance.

    ROM based on initial, repetitive use, or flare-up degrees?

    I just received my C&P exam results. Despite their being numerous issues with the wrong extremity noted, incorrect ROMs, etc..., I am wondering if the VA uses the ROM measurements from the initial measurements, after repetitive use measurements, or the flare-up measurements? Anyone know? TIA
