medically retiring title 10 codes on DD214

Question #1. The 20 year letter doesn't affect anything now. When age 60 it can allow you to max out compensation but may not be needed at all. CRSC has nothing to do with 20 year letter. Its another way to recoup the VA offset required by law. If you are approved for CRSC after you get out its possible to max out compensation. If that happens then you don't need the 20 year letter and it doesn't help you at all.

Question #2. Its always nice to have a 20 year letter to fall back on if you can't max out CRSC but you won't know that until you get out. However, you don't get a say in the process once in IDES. You are on their timeline. They will not let you delay it a year. I would be more focused on making sure my IDES is duty related with LOD and that whatever referred conditions you have will be rated 30% or higher. Guard/Reservist have a lot more to lose on that front than worrying about CRDP at age 60. Also, I tell everyone to hire a dedicated private attorney to ensure you get the best result. I will send you some references via direct message. My wife hired one before she was even put in IDES. She had a fit for duty exam scheduled and knew it would lead to being put in IDES. She was AGR so she had to go to the closest AD base to do the exam.
Yeah, i definitely appreciate what you saying. I wil look into ways to max out my CRSC then if I end up with 19 years since CRDP won't be an option.
I'm going to start prepping my CRSC packet because I just got my NARSUM today, so I probably have another 5 months before MEB is completed.

Attached is my NARSUM, it seems like everything is okay except the MIGRAINES. They talking about existed before service, I don't know where they got that from, will be disputing that.

Send me those references for sure, I need everything I can get.

Yes you need to appeal NARSUM with rebuttal or IMR or both. I strongly recommend a private hiring an attorney. It may not be too late to get one that can help you get the best outcome. Free legal will give you advice but you do all the work. You don't have experience in what works and what doesn't. A dedicated private attorney has decades of experience and they write everything up for you to submit in the IDES process.
