As soon as I got my 199 back i decided to appeal which I got the results of that back within a few days. Then I signed it and built my retirement packet to turn into retirement services. They sent me my NLT date and gave me instructions how to change my exit date or what to do to keep it the...

I have 106 days of leave on my LES....Im selling 16 days. Only taking 90 and selling 16. Then using 10 PTDY.

October 2020...My leave ends October 29, 2021 so almost an entire year.

I appealed which took about 6 days to come back. Then I signed and a few days later after I turned in my retirement packet they sent me an email with my date. Once I signed my 199 with my new DOD rating I had to put together a packet and drop it off at retirement services and wait for them to...

I just got my date today...it's set for Sept, but I need to do some moving around in order to use all my leave, but I got it today.

Wait so did you just appeal the 199 and wait for them to make a decision on the appeal and they denied the appeal and scheduled an FPEB? Reason I am asking is because this Wednesday I submitted my appeal to the PEB and was wondering what to expect as far as a timeline goes.

Yeah I wish I had been seen separately prior to the whole process. Legal went through my medical records and highlighted the appointments that I mentioned it prior to the MEB. I got a few people from my CoC to write statements for me on the times they've seen my legs give out at work. We...

I have almost 9 years in and am currently in the MEB process for my lower back as well. If I were you I would pursue the MEB. It sounds like if you stay in the next 10 years isn't going to help you at all. While in the MEB continue to pursue seeking treatment. Go to pain management, physical...

They did not add it. My only disqualifying issue was my lower back. I stopped going to appointments after my MEB that were specifically for my lower back and started making separate ones that were for lower back and another for radiculopathy. That was what legal told me to do as none of my...

Do you think that this is something I shoudl pursue while still in the MEB? I am currently appealing the DOD rating and do not want to prolong anymore than I have too. The VA already has me rated at 100% P&T, but I wanna make sure my CPAP is covered once I separate.

That's good to know. As soon as I am out I will pursue this. Thank you for this information.

Thanks man. Hopefully my appeal goes good. I have command memos for my secondary conditions that I'm appealing so hopefully that will help!

I know this is a bit old, BUT I just read this and went to the website. Is this something Tricare actually covers? This thing seems like a lifesaver. I have a lot of sinus issues and have a really hard time wearing any of the masks as I feel like they suffocate me. Something like this would be a...

I just got my 199 back and it says: 18. Proposed entitlement to service connection of obstructive sleep apnea for Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) benefits. Service connection for obstructive sleep apnea is proposed as directly relate to military service. (38 CFR 3.303, 38 CFR 3.304) A...

Yeah they wouldn't give me anything. Luckily I got my 199 back yesterday though.
