Thanks I gave it a look and got some advice. My main thing I am looking for is pros and cons to the comprehensive exam from the SSA. Thanks

So I applied to SSDI about nine months ago right after my MEB began and I was denied. I just recently re-applied and now have two SSA people asking me for information from two different offices. I have also completed my PEB and will be retired in 80 days. One just asked for work history because...

So seems like an easy enough question but if I am 100% VA can I still work? Thanks in advance

Yes I understand how the P3 works it was that the VA did an exam on it and it was the only condition not listed anywhere on the VA % sheet or the 199. They just completely forgot it, and it was one of the unfit conditions. I am trying t do a VARR as Warrior644 stated to hopefully correct it. I...

So I got my ratings back (after 4months) and the VA did an exam (or their version of one) and then never rated the issue which was one of the issues on my P3. Has anyone else had this issue? I am looking to have them look at the exam and EMG to add the issue. I am currently sitting as seen below...

Even if you find something through this weird way of doing it you need a provider to give you a profile for said condition. Your PEBLO should have nothing to do with this. Your provider will write you for whatever is unfitting and sometimes the NARSUM Dr. will also. Sounds weird to me and I deal...

Omg somehow it popped as new...lol hope its fixed

Yep pt advocacy, ombudsmen, open door with command, IG-not really, this needs to be fixed. I would bet this is not his first or last time to do this.

Ok I guess you know all. Heaven forbid they also call the last two in your social as terminal digits. We know the government would never use the same nomenclature for more than one thing.

MEB group? If that is just other guys whose packets went up around the same time that's not a good way to tell. There are teams of raters that take the last two digits of you social and then it goes to that team or person. These are called the terminal digits.

Yes there is zero vetting, and it's similiar witht the VA. I have actually been looking into getting a job as a rater due to multiple degrees in the medical field and being senior Medic in Army. They basically said oh you would probably be good at this. But I could never leave up there. The...

Honestly someone's time from even 6 months ago will vary. Someone's from 2012 are like ancient history. Right now Seattle times for ratings is as short as a 24 hour turn around to 116 days. It all depends what your last two of your SSN are. That's how the cases are handled at VA. Some rating...
