Another great state list, http://www.longtermcarelink.net/ref_list_state_county_veterans_service_officers.htm

I thought you could turn down the IPEB and go for a PEB?

If you have tough questions go to your county Veterans Service office - they are a wealth of free info - http://www.va.gov/vso/rpt_statelocal.cfm and start reading this forum - use the search feature most questions have been answered before...

Try and get your Sleep apnea evaluated, diagnosed then another PEB or challenge the IPEB and go to the FPEB - that should buy you a few months - make sure all of your unfitting conditions are listed on the MEB. If you don't get the result from the FPEB you can challenge to SECNAV, very...

You really need to hold on and retire - way more benifit for you and your family, do what ever you can to get over 20!

To anyone, My local VSO thought the 75% rule had been changed and now it was possible to recieve a full 100% (retirement) if time or disability were proven - any info on this (Fact or Fiction)? Thanks,

Jumper, I am doing mine backwards - went through the MEB-SAF process for one item and was found fit for duty, I challenged the DES to rate all items (my PCM listed 8 in the NARSUM), finally forced to retire "In the Best Interest of the Air Force" without returning to my original AFSC. AFPC...

Quick question about the unfitting items; who or where was it determined the items were unfitting?

Greetings All, Scheduled to be at the AF FPEB in Lackland (Tuesday 26, May) only 43 days from the request for formal action from my IPEB. Any word if the board works a holiday schedule – contacted the JAG and they advised me to have an IMA review my package and resubmit. Memo NDAA 08 2 PM...

See17fly, glad to hear it is working out for you! I am in the same boat, so to speak, 22 AD IPEB found me 20% next stop FPEB (May 09). I am being told the only benefit to challenge the 20% is to try and increase my LOS 55% up to to the 75% max. Does the VA make the determination if your...

All,:eek: IPEB result returned today Permanent Retirement – finding of 21% total - 10% for each knee and 1.9% for the bilateral factor. Looks like the PEB only rated the single item on the 618: OSTEOARTHRITIS BILATERAL KNEES. All involved tried to keep me on AD duty but this did not sway...

Jason, Great information – keep up the good work -- this is the most comprehensive resource I have found, if for no other reason a real person responds to your questions. Thank you for the reply, yes I am retirement eligible - AD 22 yrs, my current enlistment is up in December 2010, but...

Greetings , I have been lurking in the background trying to absorb as much info as possible and now have a few questions. I have been in the PEB system for 6 months now and am curios how the board will review my case. Does the IPEB only go by the PCMs recommendation on the front page of the...
