Believe me I would of preferred to stay PDRL because in 6 months after I retire it will revert to it anyway. The way I see it they just wants to keep tabs on the ones that get out for mental health to cover their ass. I got my status fixed today and had to call PDA 4 times to do so and they...

This process has made me go crazy. I signed my first 199 for PDRL at the end of June. I called my Peblo every week and no update. On July 17th I get an email that they changed it to TDRL..WTF. I asked my Peblo and was like they changed it because of the mental health being unstable even though I...

Thanks for posting the number. It worked for me.

I had a friend that on the re-eval the BH was raised to 70 with the TDIU.

§ 4.129 Mental disorders due to traumatic stress. When a mental disorder that develops in service as a result of a highly stressful event is severe enough to bring about the veteran's release from active military service, the rating agency shall assign an evaluation of not less than 50 percent...

I have 20 years and 3 months Active. The 60 DOD was back, leg and mental health for 80% which came out to 64% and rounded down to 60%. If on an eval it lowers to 30 instead of 50 for mental health then I guess it would still be 50 because of LOS or percentage.

You are absolutely correct with annoying being the key word, because it the principle for me of it being PDRL when I signed it and oops we meant it to be TDRL. The only thing I stand to lose if anything is 10% if they lower it but at the same time it could possibly be higher as well.

I signed my 199 on 28 June with 60%(64% with 2 other conditions) DOD and 100% VA. It was signed for PDRL. Yesterday I get an email from my PEBLO saying that it was changed to TDRL. Suffice to say I was pissed because I am ready to retire and have over 20 years Active Duty. I was told that I...

Thanks guy. I appreciate the support on this forum as always!

It looks like I am ahead of the Peblo and they do not even know it. My claim closed and on 18 May and knew of my proposed ratings on 21 May. I have 100 VA proposed ratings, and it would be 80 for DOD. Don't ask who I got them from, but it damn sure was not the Peblo. When the Peblo calls me in...

I appreciate it, it is a game changer indeed.

I visited my Peblo yesterday and no update, but just checked vets.gov and it shows that my claims closed and were sent out yesterday. I started my MEB at the end of Nov and was found unfit on 19 April. It would been faster for the ratings but the VA Doctor had forgot to do a DBQ on my feet and...
