This thread is dedicated to special issues regarding the Temporary Disabled Retired List.
I have a question about the tdrl option. I went to my formal peb and they sustain the claims of those conditions that were asked about at the peb. I'm currently one hundred percent at the v a and twenty percent with the army . I'm trying to medically retire and as we know the magic number is thirty percent I have twenty percent on bulging disk in my l five s one. I have radiculpathy checked on my narsum so the question is on my varr do I request my ptsd be added and radiculpathy and if i do will that put me on the term. Secondly how likely will the rating change affecting my overall ratings.
Thank you
VARR only addresses the percentage of rating for a unfitting condition, nothing else. If you feel that the 20% for you back was incorrectly rated, then you can present evidence to the contrary.
If you would like PTSD or radiculopathy to be considered as unfitting, you would want to request a formal PEB and present evidence why you feel that the condition(s) do not meet the retention standards (AR 40-501, Chapter 3) for the Army.
So am i past the point to add radiculpathy and ptsd
Whoever is currently representing you. It should be a lawyer form the Office of the Soldiers Counsel, unless you have a private attorney.My meb attorney or my peb attorney? There different
I start TDRL on the 25th. 70%DOD 70% VA. I have my first VA appointment in April. I planned on going to the VA for care because it's close. The nearest MTF is very far and I can't drive. When it comes time for re-evaluation will my VA records count as current treatment records/evidence? Or does it have to be from an MTF? Will the Re eval be through the VA or at an MTF? My unfitting condition is PTSD
