God. You guys are great (as always!) Thank you all!

Hey guys, Hope all is well. I was medically retired from the Marines back in March of this year (2015) with a 50/60% from the DoD and VA respectively, I'm also receiving CRSC and am currently on TDRL. So my question is, can I use my income from all this as earned income for a VA home loan...

Once again, thank you Mike. I always appreciate your help!

Hey guys! So... my CRSC application was received by the USMC today. And I still don't get this calculation... Okay, so let me provide the details. High 36: $2498 (2015-2014=E4@14 yrs, 2014-2013= E4@13 yrs, 2014-2013=E4 6mo & E5 6mo@12years) DoD Disability: 50% Combat Related (PTSD/Bipolar...

Oh, and my lawyer also told me that I could expect SOME KIND of word about the decision about 2 to 3 weeks after the hearing. My hearing was on the 7th of October this year. So... hopefully I'll hear back soon.

YES! Any statement you can get that is in your favor would be helpful. My lawyer had asked for one but wasn't able to get a hold of my psychiatrist in time. My lawyer was a Navy LT and he was helpful. He had little to no prep time and did a good job of representing me in the hearing. The...

Well, thank you Warrior for your quick response! Okay, that's what I figured. I'll make sure to keep checking out the forum for questions I might be able to address. You guys take care, and this forum is awesome.

Hello all! I am an active duty Marine with 12 years of active service. I started the med board process back in May of 2014. Thus far, the process has been represented well by most timeline expectations so that's been nice. I initially was submitted for a med board for Bipolar disorder NOS...
