I'm not a new member here, but it's been a while since I post last, and couldn't remember my old name.
I have a few questions though. I'm on the TDRL at 30%. They lowballed that rating, but I was told not to fight it at the time since I was "retired". Well, I have a week and a half until my 18 month point and haven't recieved any orders for my first re-evaluation. I've done research, and it says under SECNAV that by law they must re-evaluate atleast every 18 months. What happens if they do not? Are there any reprocustions on it? It's BS that if for what ever reason you cannot make it to your re-evaluation benifits are terminated on the spot, but their able to get away with their timeliness.
If they tried to lower me(which they can't unless they say I'm 0%, in the vasrd for my condition the ratings are as follows: 0,30,60, or 100%), could I fight it and use this as grounds since they didn't evaluate me within 18 months?
What are the outcomes of the re-evaluations usually? What records do I need to provide. I was talking to a buddy of mine that got medically retired a few months before me, and he didn't take any records with him(civilian, va, or SMR) and he ended up getting PDRL'd. He's got a knee problem that he was lucky to get 30%(by his own words). My condition is worse than it was before while I was active duty. SSA is giving me SSDI due to this condition. I'm still fighting for my VA benifits. Should I be worried about this PEB?
