Yeah they can pull it but you have to have had a C&P with the VA already and you need to reach out to them and notify them if they’re trying to schedule you with a MTF.

The VA was first so that’s how I was able to use the VA rating. My rating came in from the VA about 2 days after my C&P. About a week after my VA exam, I got the e-mail that I should be hearing from a base MTF to schedule my appointment. That’s when I created this thread and reached out to the...

I’m not sure what a RAS is, but I didn’t need a waiver. I just contacted the TDRL team and they pulled my VA stuff and sent it to the PEB.

Yes, it affects your retirement. Since I went from 50% to 70%, I will now get 70% of my retired grade’s base pay.

This is accurate and thank you for adding on!

Update: I heard from the PEB today and they accepted the VA’s 70% rating and are transitioning me to PDRL. I had been TDRL for 13 months.

They will reach out to you. You’ll get a message through MyFSS regarding a reevaluation. It will be around your one year mark.

This is for the Air Force***

Update: at the 12 month mark, the TDRL team looks into your VA case to see if there has been a change to your rating and then they’ll refer that to the PEB. If there is nothing from the VA, they schedule you for an appointment for reevaluation. Both happened to me at the same time so it is...

Thank you for the information! I'm confused because all of these appointments are happening over a short time period and I wasn't sure if they were related to each other. I should have my MTF appointment in about a month. I'll get updated medical records from my provider for that appointment and...

I am pending my TDRL reevaluation. I chose the MTF option. However, I was also just reevaluated by the VA and my disqualifying condition went from 50 to 70% (MH). Will the DoD accept the VA rating and will I still have to go to the MTF appointment? What if the DoD doesn’t agree with the VA rating?
