So, while we were married, I transferred 12 months of Post-911 GI to the ex. She used them. I have now attended school on post-911 for 2 years, and was concerned about the transfer to Voc Rehab, since i lost those 12m. But I am now seeing on the milconnect website that those 12m are mine...

Like Jason said, it is not supposed to happen, compassionate reassignment or not. But if your doctors agree it would be in your best interest, the PEBLO is in line, etc., then it can.

That all sounds legit, unfortunately.

Do not just accept that they want to adminsep you. You are injured, whether they want to believe it or not. Fight for an MEB, you deserve it.

During a MEB, you will be assigned a PEBLO (Physical Evaluation Board Liason Officer). They will be able to guide you through the entire process. They will make your DoD and VA appointments for you, track where your packet is, and keep you informed of when the status changes. A medical...

40% for your back? That's pretty good, I wouldn't appeal that, personally.

PSYOP, his AR was refering to Army Regulation, not Army or Army Reserve

Hmm, I wanna get in on this tracker, nice comparison tool: Forum name: mike762414 The installation your MEB is at: Fort Bliss The PEB location: JBLM Date of your unfit memo or date it was sent to the VA: 5 DEC Date you received your proposed ratings or date they were sent back to the PEB: VA...

True you aren't SUPPOSED to start working while on terminal leave, but that doesn't stop many people. What are they gonna do, bring you back in and deploy you? So basically, it's 6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other. All depends on your personal situation.

That's what I have heard is a 28% tax rate, just like bonuses. SGT Bob, that is a good point and a good way to look at it. My experience has mainly been with wounded warrios at Walter Reed who already had jobs lined up from all the job fairs they would put on there. They could take 2 months of...

Being retired, you will recieve retirement pay from DFAS based on your situation. After that is computed, if the VA % amount is greater, then you will receive more from the VA. Basically, you will get an amount equal to whichever is higher.

They are two entirely different figures. the DoD is computed based on your current pay grade and TIS. The VA figure is based on their own scale. You should go to this site to determine a close estimate of what to expect.: http://www.dfas.mil/militarymembers/woundedwarrior/disabledretireest.html

Personally, I believe it is better to take the leave instead of selling it back. 2 months of a full paycheck, w/ BAH and BAS, compared to a payout of just base pay, which I have heard they also tax at a premium rate. I liken it to winning the lottery and choosing between an anuity, or the lump...

That's very possible. most likely you will have to sell off some of the leave, I don't think you'll get your BDE commander to approve that much plus PTDY
