I was retired last month, I submitted my paperwork for Survivors Benefit Program, I have not heard anything in a month... I have no clue how long it will take until I get my retirement orders or DD 214... However people, I have good news, I really wanted my Tricare benefit so I made a couple of...

Does anyone know if the letter for approval for retirement will work to update DEERS fro Tricare, or do you have to have the updated DD214? The reason that I ask is, I do not see an updated 214 in the mail anytime soon but would love to have tricare. Its to bad that Obamas proposal for...

I received a letter today FED EX, I am retired at 30% from the Air Force. I received the PDBR recommendations along with a signed letter from Office Sec of Air Force. I was discharged at 10% for Asthma and retired at 30%. My other conditions that were on my PEB were not rated, PDBR said that...

Does anyone know is Traumatic Arthritis is rated seperatly from Degenerative disk disease? I think that I got shafted but not sure

I received a letter that my complete packet was mailed to PDBR from the intake unit in TX. Does anyone know how long it will take once at the Pdbr?

Big Will, whats your facebook link, I will add you bro

Also remember, is you have a pending comp and pen claim as I do, the claim has to be complete with your most updated record before getting sent to the PDBR board. Basically, if you want to go thru the PDBR first then do not start a claim... Such a pain been waiting since January and the PDBR...

Jason, no 5 years active duty e-4. I wish you would have answered for both

Big Will Any ideas for my last post about retirement va comp?

Any ideas people? Say the PDBR retires you at 30% of base pay, say you get 1000 for retirement and 1000 a month VA Comp. You should receive the retro pay to date of PEB. That being said, do you think all retirement pay will be offset by what you have received from date of seperation by the va...

Big Will, My deferrement for medical opinion already came back and is ready for rating, that being said, it was pretty quick.... Do you think it is a positive thing? I mean the va is suspose to give the benefit of the doubt? I took your advice, I constantly bugged the va and they jumped right...

Big Will, I have an idea, just resubmit all of your paperwork to the PDBR and see for shits and giggles if it makes it all the way thru the process again. You never know, it might make it thru and there may be a different outcome.

Hammer, While waiting for DFAS to complete your pay etc, are you able to get Tri Care benefits commissary etc right away? To wait several months for that would be BS.

Hammer, I sent you a private message to send a copy of the PDBR letter to my personal email. Thanks looking forward to reading it
