Hi, yes is now retired reserves. So we have to go through the whole VA benefits application process again? Because we were literally waiting on whom was reviewing it to make a decision (apparently their decision was no because of the letter we received) but having gone through the process of MEB...

Hi, Short story, hubby was reservist, got activated Feb ’21 and June ‘21 was started down the MEB/PEB/FPEB route (PEB was Dec ‘21 and FPEB was June ‘22) via IDES. His deployment ended Nov ‘21 before even the first board convened, and he was deactivated and sent home. This is where things start...

So, after digging through the vast number of emails and documents, I decided to see if I could track down someone helpful on the paper trail of his formal notice of separation. It took a little while but I did manage to get hold of a very helpful enlisted gentleman in the relevant RSO and he...

We have gone all the way through the process - we started in the BIG army as he was in deployment when the MEB process began. That quote I put in my original post was from HRC with the NLT separation date, and although he’s been trying to contact someone (anyone?) about it, everyone he’s spoken...

Hi, so I’m on here trying to find out information about post PEB/FPEB timelines as we have gone through that process and failed. We received formal notice that my husband should be separated from service; “1. Under the provisions of AR 635-40, paragraph 4-27 (7) d (1), the Physical Evaluation...

It wasn’t so much the local choice that of interest, but the fact that they were the only one to get back to us. Our election of options must be submitted on the 24th of June, so time is of the essence. Even the local attorney who has replied to me has only asked for the VA rating doc and the 6...

I have reached out to a couple of attorneys, one of whom is local but seems to have good reviews, results, and such. I am just having to wait on them to get back to me, and I guess I am just stressed and anxious about this. The other was Jason Perry, but considering what a hot mess this entire...

Ok, at this point the DA199-1 has just landed and I am thinking our best option is to use the (according to what I understand of the form) post FPEB VARR request. All his VA info for the rating was done in July of last year and he has got progressively worse (talks suicide every week, I am his...

So, to start from the beginning; hubby was originally in the army for 7 years as a regular. Had a few knocks and bumps from there and was discharged back in ‘03 from Germany. Finding any records from his time then - especially his deployment to Kosovo has been impossible. We have been trying to...

Thanks for the heads up - I double checked all my info and realised I was using the original DA199 so had to go back to basics and redo everything that I thought was right…

Thanks for the advice. It helped keep me going, and therefore keep the hubby going. I just wish we had a better outcome.

We had the board this morning. We lost. Not an unexpected event, but disappointing nonetheless. Its taken almost a full year from the time he managed to see a doc about a prescription and they started down the MEB/PEB route. In the end, they just didn’t think we had enough hard evidence of his...

So, I have been digging further into my husband’s documents from his PEB, and his VA medical records, trying to ensure we have a complete packet to send to our JAG council and have discovered a few extra things that I am hoping I can get direction with. We are intending on continuing on with...

Thanks for your advice. It took a lot of digging and research to find information about this (I’m not American, and we don’t live anywhere near a military post - we are so far in the middle of nowhere that the nearest Starbucks is a 45min drive) and now I am trying to work out what his pension...

Hi, this is kind of a Hail Mary pass as our FPEB is 6/14 and we have been left adrift for the majority of the process. I found this site yesterday and so am now hoping that someone can point me in a good direction so my husband (US Army Reserve, and the one going through the FPEB) has an idea if...
