dang man, what's up?

From the people who run Healthevet, the deleted messages after 14 days go into a database and are stored indefinitely. Mine are gone from that time frame. Poof they disappeared. I did see a private physician around that time and i mentioned it to him that i had seen my VA physician and he...

Thank You. I will do that this morning. Oddly my PCP at Dorn VAMC has stopped responding to my secure messages in healthevet. She use to respond in a 12 hours. Odd

I sent an Release of Information to the Dorn VAMC in Columbia, SC and got my medical record sent to me. However, I was one of the many that was having gastro trouble in late 2011 to late 2012. I was given a consult to gastro from my PCP there and they didn't call me for an appointment for over 6...

Thank you, i will fill it out tonight. I plan to ask my VA doctor for a letter outlining my disabilities and why i need the IU rating. I think that would help. Thanks for the good info!

Thanks, i have tried to call but the VSO i work with..Amvets seem to never be in the office. I am not sure what to do. The Regional Office is 6 hours from my house. It's frustrating.

Can someone tell me how you apply for VA IU? Is it as simple as opening a claim on ebenefits? My VA doctor agrees that i have to many challenges to continue working. I work now but it's very rough on me and i am applying for disability retirement with them too. I meet all the rating guidelines...

nolansgrandpa, I hear you! I got my PDBR results in June of 2010. I never received a DD 215 or a corrected DD 214. I experienced the same thing. I was given no instructions on the SBP, i was just forwarded a retiree package and told to sign the forms and send them to the pay center. I agree...

As stated on the Health.mil website about the PDBR. This is my interpretation. Pretend the VA does not exist. Now, DFAS should configure your retirement pay from retro date of retirement till the day you were notified of retirement. Whatever that amount is, that should offset the severance...

A lot of them do not support Concurrent Receipt for us Chapter 61 retirees either. They state it will lead to other vets not getting compensation as they VA will state some medical problems were genetic and so forth. I don't buy it, i believe we all deserve it. We were wrongly terminated to...

According to the health.mil site, i think the Army should calculate what your retired pay would have been and then apply that to your severance. The VA is still recouping my severance pay and have been since 2003. They won't finish until 2016. HAHAHA! This whole thing is a big mess still, 3...

What it looks like is, DFAS should calculate what your disablity retired pay per year per month to the date your disability retirement was awarded and subtract any severance pay from that. Mine is more than my severance. Why should the VA continue to deduct it from my compensation and me not...

Thanks Mike. Nolansgrandpa, i agree, i am with you on a class action, i would be willing to pitch in money with others to start a class action suit.
