Hello all! Sorry, I am full of questions and I can't get this off of my mind. I was in the Air Force for 9 years and had to get out in 2005, as an E-5, due to a blood clot in my leg, believed to be cause from flying so frequently. I was awarded 10%. Let's just say that when this process is...

Ok. Thank You

I actually already have 50% with VA. I was at 20% with VA when I got out and I submitted a claim to have them raise it 5 years ago.

ChefSal-- so if my 10% gets increased to 20%, I won't see any additional pay? Not even the additional severance pay that I would have gotten if I would have originally been rated at 20%. Thanks!!

Ok, I have been looking through cases on this website. I see where there are some cases where the PDBR suggests that some of the cases be raised by 10%...so from 10% to 20%. Then, below, it says this.... The Department of Defense Physical Disability Board of Review (DoD PDBR) reviewed your...

I saw a statistic today that the PDBR Board is currently granting 17% of the cases to retirement. When I got out, they gave me 10%. I am hoping they at least give me another 10%, totaling 20%. I know 20% isn't retirement, correct? Does anyone know what the statistic is for them raising...

Hello! I got a letter back at the end of July, stating my information has been collected and my case was sent to the PDBR Board to make it's recommendation. Does anyone know how long the rest of the process may take? Also, once the Board sends their recommendation to the Air Force (my branch)...

Sorry! I think I may have put this in the wrong forum topic!

I sent my letter to the PDBR in the middle of March, requesting that they review my disability ratings. From what I gather, I should have gotten a letter already, saying they have received it. Is that correct? Who do I need to contact to find out if they have? email? phone number? Also, I...
