My husband is in an E7 AGR. (National Guard)
He st rated having mental health issues and I found this website by searching up information.
He began seeking behavioral health treatment approx. 1 mo. ago.
Never given a command behavioral health evaluation, as his command let him self-refer.
Been going to psychotherapy, psychiatrist and has been granted convelescent leave for first 2 weeks he was out.
After finally getting into a civilian psychologist , (no MTF or military doctors available) he recommended 30 days additional. (Return to modified duty in a month) he's been given a temp profile for Behavioral Health.
So hes been on leave, waiting for the convelescent packet to be submitted.
According to our state, 30+ days must go through NGB. Problem is, this packet has not even been submitted yet. This leave would be ending a in couple weeks.
According to info I have been told, it will most likely be denied and he will be charged the 30 days. (He has enough leave to cover the 30 days, but would have no more leave)
I understand we can submit an appeal, which I would like to start working on now.
Besides the frustrations in general with the entire process and the possibility of it being denied (which I believe is ridiculous) can anyone give me some tips in doing the appeal?
Our state is broken, this whole process has been a mess and I'm doing what I can with my limited knowledge (searching regulations NGR and AR) to help my husband get the treatment he needs while keeping him out of trouble, legal, regulations etc.
Any tips, info would be appreciated.
