Just curious, how long did it take from you accepting PDRL until your pay was updated? Thanks.

Did they give you any idea how long it would take to see the change in pay?

That seems to be a complex change. Not sure what all it will accomplish.

Support Bill Authorizing military retirees with service connected disabilities ra One of the problems is that the current CRDP applies only to members with 20+ years of service. If someone is medically retired at 15 years, they don't get CRDP. At least that's my understanding.

Support Bill Authorizing military retirees with service connected disabilities ra In my opinion, it's more important to fix concurrent receipt for the Chapter 61 retirees.

I received my final PEB results and the rating for one of the conditions was increased to above where the VA rated. I have an appeal pending for that same percentage with the VA, and am thinking that I should just submit the board's findings to the VA as evidence that I warrant a higher rating...

HH1, any update? Similar situation except they decided to rate me 40%, even though I've been on systemics for over two years. Thanks.

I had a TDRL review give me low ratings so I am requesting a formal PEB. I am wondering what the processing time looks like? Is this something that happens in days, weeks, months? Thanks.

What was your outcome? I've had problems with the board with psoriasis, they don't seem to know if it's a disability or not.

Thanks for the insight. I've heard everything from don't bother bringing anything with you, to bring everything you have and bury them with paperwork. I've got a pretty chronic condition, and it comes and goes. I can't control it, and the thought of a one day evaluation scares me to death...

Jack, Thanks for the information. I guess I should be more grateful, but I've heard too many horror stories of the Services NOT following the VASRD, and issuing whatever rating they want. The whole thing is just frustrating. I do appreciate the response though.

Nice to know that the Navy has to follow the VA rating for at least a year before they can low ball the rating and toss me. This is such a nightmare.

I was processed under the Pilot Program late last year and am currently on TDRL. Does anyone know what happens at the 1.5 year mark? Do I get re-evaluated by the VA, or will the Navy do my re-evaluation for a new percentage? I'm just not sure what happens with the next step, and I haven't...
