Just an update for everyone. I received my decision from the BCNR last week and my claim was rejected. They gave me 30 days to respond from the date on the letter and that date is 30 November! What bullshit, these guys don’t play fair. I got less that 2 weeks to respond. Not giving up the...

Thank you for all of that! What did they do with your recoupment? Did you continue to pay it back via your VA disability or did DFAS expect a check for the amount of the severance? Obviously since I was seperated with a severance they take 20% from it every month because I was seperated at 20%...

They told me it was a 10 month wait, it looks like that's you had. If you don't mind me asking, was the outcome in your favor?

Awesome, congrats! Seeing this makes me hopefully that my case will go the way I want. Exciting times to get the retirement and the benefits you deserve!

That's disheartening, but atleast the ball is rolling

Thank you guys for the help, I have actually had a tough time getting a hold of a VSO or an attorney, any recommendations?

Do you have to been seperated between 9/11/01 and 12/31/09 to be eligible for PBDR? I have had an increase in my unfitting condition that got me separated and I am looking to see what my options are.

Hopefully it all works out for the way you want it to, keep us posted.
