How long did it take for you to receive your taxes back? I just submitted my Tax Refund claim today through DFAS. I received my severance pay this year and applied for a refund within the same year. What is a general timeline that you could give @female_marineE7 ? Congratulations by the way!

Once I submitted my IMR, it only took about 2 days to get my results back from it. It did delay the process a bit but nothing substantial. Unless you have something you're concerned they may change then it probably wouldn't hurt you. They're objectively looking at the evidence that is provided...

Absolutely, will do. Thank you for all of the input and confirmation. I speak with my legal counsel tomorrow morning and get her input and should know something within the next couple of weeks regarding the VARR.

Per the VA's explanation, they said my ROM is "moderate" since it is less than 15 degrees dorsiflexion. "Marked" ROM is 0-5 degrees and that is what they determined it was during my C&P Exam. I have attached screenshots of the VA's explanation as well as the notes from my C&P exam. I assume they...

Based on this image, what do you think? I believe it’s like you said, 20%. I will submit the VARR for sure but just wanted confirmation before speaking with my lawyer and making my decision.

Looking at this image, what do you think?

I have been found unfit for my left ankle and left lower leg (rated 10% each) as of my proposed VA ratings. My left ankle dorsiflexion is 0-5 degrees and they only rated it 10%. Was wondering if anyone has any insight as to whether that is accurate or should it be 20%? Wanted to see if I should...

That's crazy, but it's awesome for y'all and congrats on the peace of mind. I can tell you from experience that it can be frustrating. I was involved in a car accident in May of 2018 and broke some bones and have difficulty driving. Evidently, not being able to drive, anxiety/panic attacks...

Thank you for the reply! My counselor has written a statement as well as my wife for the IMR. They still found that my PTSD meets retention standards and forwarded it onto the PEB. We are waiting on ratings to appeal it. I do have service provided legal representation and she has been helping...

Good morning everyone, I was recently found fit for PTSD but it is basically a 50% rating alone based on the VA C&P Exam. I have two other conditions that rendered me unfit (left ankle and left leg). I expect those two ratings combined to be 20% or less. If I were to be found unfit for the PTSD...

I have seen so many people take screenshots of this timeline and goal/actual/delta days and don't have a clue how to get that. What is the website and how to do I get there if you don't mind me asking. Thanks in advance. That goes for anyone that can guide me in this because I've been curious to...

I was in a similar situation a few months back. In January of 2019, I was diagnosed with adjustment disorder by a military psychiatrist and later diagnosed with PTSD by my civilian counselor as well as the VA representative that conducted my behavioral health C&P Exam. As long as the VA...

I know I’m 7 years behind here. Just reading through threads. I fractured the Tibia/Fibula in my left leg over a year ago and that is one of my two unfitting conditions. The other is my left ankle. Dorsiflexion in the ankle is 0-5 degrees. What kind of rating would you expect with it? Also pain...

I agree, and it's not necessarily the driving itself that would be unfitting. I am able to drive but suffer from panic attacks regularly. Unfortunately, even when my wife drives or if I get a ride the result is the same and I still stress so it's easier to drive myself to appointments and my...
