Good morning,
I was just notified that my PCM, who actually is no longer my PCM, put me in for a Pre-MEB, although I'm not sure what for. I've been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea, have ongoing back issues and also knee problems that will require a partial knee replacement in the near future.
In the interim, I have applied for retirement and been approved for a retirement date of 1 Jun 2017, which is when I'll have my 20yrs active duty.
I've filled out the Pre-MEB interview although I haven't forwarded it to the PEBLO yet. My Chief wants to discuss it with the commander and see if he will/can ask the dr to forgo the MEB and just let me ride out my time until my retirement.
My question is....if I do have to go through a MEB, how can this possibly impede my active duty retirement? I don't want to lose my retirement. I've heard my friends say they will offer me a severance package which does not suffice in my eyes. My husband retired last year with over 20 active duty and got 100% total and permanent VA rating. That's what I would rather shoot for or at least 50%. I'm afraid an MEB will negate my active duty retirement or extend my retirement date and make it more difficult to get the VA rating I want once I'm retired.
I'm not familiar with the MEB process and what it all can possibly affect.
Please help.
