First off, I hope I am posting this in the right location. I retired in 2016 and was diagnosed with PTSD, Bilateral Knee Pain, my C4 & C5, and bad lower back, which all prevents me from walking long distance, lifting heavy objects, or even enjoying life. We have an established home already. I...

IF YOU ARE OVER 20 YEARS and in order to avoid paying back that time for CSB/REDUX Bonus, does it make sense to request an MEB or will they medically retire you and not get that 50%?

Salte I will look into that. I have similar symptoms but I would not think its anything to the effect of MS Jason What is the percentage of both "Nerve dysfunction/pain" and "migraines"

Salte What were your symptoms? Was it similar to mine? They did a nerve test for carpal tunnel but not for my lumbar

Jason If I try to claim "Nerve dysfunction/pain.", will they try to mix that in together with something else? I thought the electrical shock may had to do with me having Tourettes...doctor was not sure about that The docs once diagnosed me with Multiple Sclerosis but then said NO GSfowler It...

I have an electrical shock that runs from the back of my head and down my back. Sometimes down my right arm. This happens about 3-4 times a week and about twice a day. I also have migraine headaches that I do not know if it came from my concussion but the electrical shocks also happen while I...

Pittpan thank you so much. I just thought that I would get a % from VA + a % from army + retirement. is it true that I can start claiming this as early as 9 months prior to retirement?

What is the differece when claiming your diagnosis through MEB verses at retirement?

Mike, Understood... So now that they "found me Fit" I am going through the retirement mode, Do we get a percentage from the VA and the Army or is it just VA and Retirement?

Mike, Also, should I question "FIT FOR DUTY" and ask my PEBLO about "Fit By Presumption"?

Mike, Thank you! No I do not have an issue staying 20. My goal is to retire. It states that in order to qualify for CRDP you have to have a VA disability Rating. Since I have been found Fit For Duty my questions are: 1. If I can do this before retiring then I would go for The Quick Start...

My PEBLO told me that if I request a FPEB then my COAD(Continuation On Active Duty) may not be approved. Which in my case have a great case since I am 42A and Just got done with 4yrs of recruiting duty. Please keep helping me with suggestions. Thank you

I am at 18yrs... I am on Leave and my PEBLO just called me stating that "I WAS FOUND FIT FOR DUTY" I know that this means that MEB stops and that they think I am well enough physically to continue the rest of my career blah blah blah... What happens now with everything I was diagnosed with...
