Hello, Its been awhile since I posted here. I was put on TDRL in October 2012 for Nephritis (Chronic Kidney Disease) which was rated at 80% by the DOD and my overall VA rating was 90%. I just had my first TDRL evaluation a few months ago. I received my decision today which stated that I am...

Just to follow up on the original question from this post: Can Junior Officers in their commitment window(4 years ROTC, 5 Years Academy) that get medically retired/separated receive the Post 9/11 GI Bill? The answer is YES! I only completed 3 out of the required 4 years of active service, ROTC...

I accepted and signed my Official PEB findings on 20 July 2012. According to the PEB you get 60 days from when you sign your official findings. Well orders take at least 30-40 days to process so why they give you 60 days is just freaking stupid. I was supposed to separate 21 Sep but I hadn't...

Your 60 days to separation starts when you signed your Official PEB findings for the Navy. Are they allowing you more time than what you requested on your Options of elections form since its taking so long for them to cut orders?

I've been waiting since 20 July and I spoke to a YNC at PERS-81 and he said they haven't received my Official Findings from the PEB... I'm OCONUS (Hawaii) and plan to leave the island to go back to the mainland by 21 Aug so I understand your frustration with HHG and ship car etc. I don't...

Congrats! How long did it take for you to get your orders? I signed my findings on 20JUL and still waitings on orders.

Sullivan, I haven't applied yet. I am assuming that if I apply right now i would be denied since I am still on active duty and in my obligated service window. I plan on applying post-separation. I am hoping that my medical retirement discharge code on my orders will be what qualifies me and my...

I know your original question was about home awaiting orders which I know nothing about... I just wanted to give my two cents on the CKD rating part. Good luck!

In your rebuttal, I would provide a copy of all the labwork done while on active duty showing persistent hematuria (RBC in urine) from your medical record. I did a extremely detailed rebuttal referencing all labwork done while on active duty where I had hyaline and granular casts in my urine...

Thanks for your response! Yes my unfitting condition was rated the same for both DoD and VA (renal dysfunction) DoD - 80% VA - 90% My ratings from the VA were as follows: 1. Renal Dysfunction (Unfitting condition) - 80% 2. Degenerative Arthritis of the Lumbar and Cervical Spine - 10% 3...

Anyone out there with advice on my above post??? My 10 day timeline is almost up! Thanks.

I received my ratings today! I was rated at 80% DOD for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 3 caused by Glomerulonephritis (Anti-GBM Disease, FSGS, and MPGN). VA 90%. I was put on TDRL for CKD. I am not on dialysis but will be at some point in the future 5, 10, 15 years... who knows. My...

As of 06 July I still do not have my findings... MEB started 23 Sep 11 case sent to PEB 23 DEC 11.
