Yes this is true and you often hear it said "why sell back leave you only get the base amount". If you take leave you get your normal pay but, you would get that same pay if you work. If you sell it back you will in fact get a high net amount of money for the same time period and that is truly...

RikersIsland - I was on Active duty when I was injured

Golden I was on Title 10 AD when I was injured at worked. I had a LOD and was going thru the MEB process. I was kept on orders (it was a fight at times) for 2 1/2 years until the FPEB retired me. They took me off orders for a three month period well actually 7 but then realized I was right and I...

I am looking for the reg that keeps an Air Guardsman with a LOD on orders until the completion of the MEB process. Thanks for the Help

Jason I would have to agree that the number of people on this site should be much higher. The trick is how to spread the word. I heard about this site from someone else that was going through the same thing but not until my FPEB was only a few weeks away. Then 5 weeks later I was gone...so no...

We do need more info to try and help you out. I went through the MEB process last year while in the air guard so I would be more than happy to help as would the others on this site

Robs I would get a lawyer at this point. I have applied for SSDI and if turned down I will hire a lawyer. Many of them claim to have pretty high approval rates which if true means they are worth it. As far as cost...they can charge 25% of the back pay or $5300.00 which ever is less. The ones...

Wildblue, Welcome to the forum. I was recently medically retired from the Air Force for back problems and this is what I learned. I was an E-8 so like you I had a flexible work schedule. My CC also told me to work when I could. It was better than not being there for 30 days at a time which is...

From what I uderstand you can get the money back that was paid in taxes but I am not sure how you do it. Keep in mind that to get the money and benefits from the VA youwill have to pay the severence pay back. This is normally down back them collecting the money from you VA monthly check until...

Naaa you would have had to have been in the guard to lose your retirement pay but only until you are 60.

Welcome Maria and sorry to here about your diabetes. I spent 28 years in the Air Guard so please remember that my thoughts come from that perspective and as you know that can be very different from the Army Guard. I was injured while I was on active duty and needed to have back surgery. When I...

You need to get a points rip and then add up all of your active duty points. Divide that by 365 and you will have the years they will use. Example: 2350 points divided by 365 (days in a year) = 6.4 years Next you take 2 times your base pay then multiply it by your years and that will give...

I would try to get in to the VA and get your Back rated by them before you go. It should help your case. When I went thru the AF MEB process my PEBLO (???) had no clue. I didn't know what to do or ask for from my Dr's or what was expected at the board. I had to Dr's claim that my flexion was...
