Ask for VA Retro Pay when you first talk to someone, and they will tell you where you are in the process. I received my backpay after 5 months of waiting, and my case was sent through audit twice.

Just go to the apt. They threw it in my face on my back portion that my BH physician gave me a memo to stay home due to mental health concerns, because they could not obtain a ROM in person. They gave me 2 days to somehow get into my local VA to have a ROM performed by my chiro (yeah, right...

Just go to the appt. They threw it in my face on my back portion that my physician gave me memo to stay home due to mental health concerns because they could not obtain a ROM. They gave me 2 days to somehow get into my local VA to have a ROM performed by my chiro (yeah, right). Whatever, glad...

I talked to a DFAS VA retro payment representative finally last week, and was told my audit is "in its final stages" apparently. She was a real nice lady.

So got my DA 199. I will be placed on the permanent retired list for both conditions. 70% PTSD which I am not surprised about. But my back was lowered from 40% to 10% because I dropped out of physical therapy. After 5 years of their BS stretches that obviously do not work, I opted to go with...

I received my first crsc payment DEC 1 2018, dated from SEP 2017, and no backpay yet. I applied April 2018. Hold times to get through at DFAS to talk about crsc are usually over an hour too. I am hanging in there lol.

I received P&T first, and then TDRL re evaluation.

Well I had the telephone NARSUM today, and it was intense. I am glad I did not fly out. My initial appointment for my NARSUM/PEB back in 2017 felt like 30 minutes, and was completely led by the physician. The C&P follow up that I had this summer for PTSD was pretty much the same (In and out...

My advice is to do what I did. Tell your PEBLO your concerns, and if there is a need to not fly you then they might keep you at home. I just had my telephone NARSUM appt today. I don't know what the criteria is for selecting people for TDRL reexams though. I have friends who got a MEB a year...

Well after going through the meltdown of the holiday season vacation schedules (lol), my PEBLO and I finally came up with a plan. They do not even want to fly me into Ft Leonard Wood for an appointment if there is no need to (complete waste of resources for a 2 hour appointment per PEBLO), so I...

Ill update once everything is over. Maybe my story will help someone in the future.

Yes, I asked. He said they have access to everything on the VA side, and that is all he said so far. I just started talking to the PEBLO a couple days ago, so we are just starting everything.

I just got news via email that the Army wants to re evaluate me for TDRL; however, I was recently given 100% permanent and total by the VA. At what point do they decide if they are going to just go ahead and solely use my VA records to make a decision? I went through prolonged exposure in...

By the way OP, I see you signed your 199 on 30MAR at JBLM. I signed mine on 23MAR at JBLM. Thanks for hurting your peers.

This. Way to stomp your feet like a two year old child though. It is not the system's fault you were job hunting when you were not ready to yet.
