Afternoon,
I'm new to the MEB process and I can't get answers from my MDG. My chronic pain, migraines, and running issues have increased to the point of not being able to keep up. I'm on a daily narcotic for pain. My Guard Doc has started the MEB process. All I have done is give them VA and Civilian doc records from the last year. I also have PTSD but they didn't ask for therapist notes.
I'm most stressed about whether I'm going to be medically retired or medically separated. I will have 23 years total in Dec 2021. I have 11 yrs. 6 mon. 22 days active. Because I have a 100% VA rating will I be medically retired? Or, will only the percentage of the conditions making me unfit for duty count towards hitting the golden 30% required for being medically retired? Also, my brain is already checked out from work and I'm struggling hard to concentrate. How long will this process take?
Thanks!
