Fort Bliss MEB (Asthma)

So I guess even though I'm at 23 years but technically medically retired I won't need to do that either. I made my ID card appointments for 31 October since I retire 30 October.

Correct. Just get the retirement card.

I was going to comment make sure you apply for CRSC but seems like you're already on it.
Why did you hire a lawyer? Just curious. And did you deploy to one of the presumptive/PACT act locations?

Crazy how I was the first comment when you first made this thread and now we're both in the same boat (kinda... I'm still on terminal leave). But as soon as I hit my retirement date and eventually get the VA rating finalized, I'll be applying for CRSC.

Also, I don't think you can get your retirement ID to say INDEF and 100% disabled. That would be a different ID card (100% Disabled Veteran ID card).
But I have heard that people who already have retirement IDs have issues with their TRICARE once they try to get the 100% VA INDEF IDs. I've also heard that some ID offices wont "downgrade" retirement IDs to Disabled Vet IDs since the retirement ID gets you the same plus more, and no need for the 100% Vet one.

You are correct about the ID.. Sorry late post. Took summer off in Jamaica after retirement to reset my mind from the military. If you already got the VR&E question answered let me know.
