That's a very good start. Thank you. Now I just need to find out in PA law where non-taxable disability income is not to be deducted from unemployment. I'm just confused because UCX is federally funded to the state.

I was medically retired at 50% DOD. My situation is somewhat unique in that I elected to go through LDES and not IDES since I already had done my C&P for BDD so that's why my VA does not match my DoD. I am currently fighting with the VA because they only gave me 10% for my back despite being...

Trying to find a reference that states VA income cannot be used to reduce a veterans unemployment compensation. I cannot find it in any law or reference but remember hearing it somewhere. Is it true? Got out in April and trying to find work. It's difficult due to my injuries and with all my VA...

Hello and thank you for reading, BACKSTORY: applied for BDD prior to going through an MEB. I had DAV and the on-base VA liaison assist in submitting my BDD packet to the VA. I did my C&P and other appointments prior to going through the med board. I was subsequently medically retired at 50%...

I think it was a hypothetical I threw out there in regards to staying competitive. I just don't foresee people in a squadron "looking out" for someone who isn't capable of performing all the facets of the career field. Speaking from experience; I absolutely noticed a difference in the way I have...

But when he is assigned a duty limiting code perhaps. I am just saying the AF wants the "best and brightest" in those positions but that just means you can pass a PT test and you have your CCAF :confused: I wouldn't hold my breath trying to fill one of these positions being "broken" and...

The DOD is rated 40% w/bilateral factor but I assume you mean VA. Doesn't the VA have to take the most current and relevant test (as in performed by a more competent doctor)? I submitted it all to the VA anyways so if they don't accept it then I will request the VARR to get the test changed to...

You want as much documentation as possible for the VA. Claim EVERYTHING. Reason being is that the Air Force will only rate you for UNFITTING CONDITIONS (IE the reason(s) you were referred to the IPEB anyways). So you may have 15-20 items like me with the VA but only got evaluated by the Air...

The older ID cards say INDEF but the newer retiree cards will have an expiration. We were told not to confinscate IDs from retirees because they rolled back the INDEFs in DBIDS for entering military installations (AF side).

I believe it depends on the character of discharge. If you just get NJP'd I still believe you will be extended to finish your MEB. But if its a DD/BCD then I believe you pretty much get let go. Not 100% on the BCD part.

Hello, So I got my results from the IPEB a couple weeks ago. I have been sitting on them for a wee bit thinking the DOD will update the VA. Getting my senses back I realized this was a poor decision and submitted 3 different items to the VA electronically. I submitted my AF Form 1180 which...

Okay so the form is just necessary for a rating. They have all the other criteria necessary but are missing the form. It sucks because I cannot recall every specific detail I spoke to the MH evaluator about. I remember each incident but do not recall the specifics on what we discussed. Think...
