BigBen, That is the logic...I talked to the folks at DFAS and the supervisor I spoke to stated that since we (disabled folks) are NOT offered the chance to build our retirements back up to what it would have been through longer careers, we are waived and DO NOT have to pay back the money (if...

Thanks for all of the input. I've learned that I will NOT have to retire under REDUX but WILL lose one point from my COLA until age 62. So, having 23 years in and taking REDUX, my retirement percentage will be 57%. I received my retirement orders Monday and will retire 28 July. The MEB...

Ben&Dee...not sure what is going on. I recieved my Disability Retirement Orders yesterday and my eBenee's status is still stuck in "Reviewing Evidence." I wouldn't hold that site as that reliable for updates as to what you need to do or where your case is in the pipeline. Mine started in...

Can anyone clarify how the REDUX Retirement plan is affected when being forced to retire medically after 20 years? I'm at 23 and took the REDUX at 15. Now, I've been found unfit and just received my proposed VA ratings yesterday...Permanent Retirement. I expected the retirement piece but no...

Will do...but thought the flavor was the same. Retirement and REDUX is in this discussion...I'll figure this site out yet!!! :)

PittPann2005, Do you happen to know if the REDUX is waived for members over 20? If so, can you site the regulation where this is written? I am at 23 years and was found "unfit." Yesterday I went to discuss my VA ratings and was told by my PEBLO that I'll retire under the redux plan...I know...

Just a point of reference...my package went to the VA (after being found unfit) on 31 January. I JUST got the call yesterday that my ratings were back. Took just about a month to the day. Now I have 10 days to accept or rebut. The system seems to squeak some packages through quickly and then...

Anyone know how my personal leave is calculated in the mix? Does AFPC do the math prior to setting the retirement date? Trying to work with my boss to get a replacement in and trained but timing is ify as I can't give him a clear site picture. :confused: I'm thinking that if I get my ratings...

How true...I'm not one for sitting around and waiting for someone else to manage my affairs. Doesn't sit well with me to know that other who hold the key to my future are sitting around and waiting for a computer to flag them into action. I find it funny (sarcastically of course) how we've...

Cool...thanks for the quick hit. I'm always amazed at the difference in timelines. Looks like yours was fairly seamless compared to some on here. Mine seems to be rolling along but lately it is acting sluggish as I'm now anxious for completion. I've been in for 23 years (all active) and this...

SERE/Aviator, How long was the process from the time you were found "unfit"...hate that term...until you recieved your ratings and ultimately retirement? I just found out on 31 Jan that AFPC deemed me unfit. I'm hoping to be out the door by late Spring/early Summer but can't get a good gauge...

Sicotic, I'll be interested to follow your timeline...I was just found unfit on 31 Jan so my ratings will be coming shortly...knock on wood. My memo was sent to VA on 1 Feb so we'll see. Best of luck!

Agreed...this whole "new improved" process seems to have started out with a bang and had good intentions but I fear that its timeline is getting pushed to the right just by the nature of the beast that is the MEB! Thanks for the insight. I'm beyond the 45 day mark so I'll start tracking my...

All, my package has been at AFPC since November 26th...still waiting to find out if I'm fit or unfit...retiring or whatever. How long did it take for AFPC to come back with a fit/unfit finding on your cases? I'm getting impatient but don't know who to call...some on here say they have called...
