    DoD 90% TDRL VA 100% p&t - appeal?

    I should have been more clear! I’m thinking about an FPEB appeal of the (unstable status) TDRL recommendation. I have the max scheduled ratings for three referred conditions - a 60, 60, 30. I was thinking of a VARR to buy a little time and to get a PTSD rating bumped up, possibly. I’m not...

    DoD 90% TDRL VA 100% p&t - appeal?

    Thank you Ron, I need those 700 dollars! I’m more concerned that the future re-evals will cause the rating to drop, impacting the $700 - or if the result is below 30%, impacting VA monthly payments due to severance pay recoupment. Any idea how often folk are successful at the initial appeal...

    I need help with the outcome of my MEB. I have an appointment to sign 199 on tuesday and think I want to appeal - The reasons given for TDRL: . 1a, this disability is unstable because the medical evidence supports there is at least a 50/50 chance that within the next three years this condition...

    I have been calling 202-685-6422/27 - others say that they always answer but yesterday and today no dice.

    VA claim check says 2nd claim closed

    I’ll know more when I get my ratings but my DBQs omitted 1/3 of my referred condition. I sent in a supplemental to fix the error (PEBLO’s supervisor did not want to wait on the front end for another c&p exam) - so I guess I might need to appeal, which will make everything take longer...

    VA claim check says 2nd claim closed

    Im going to try for 20 days by a COL but I have 60 days of leave and am staying local so I have a feeling they won’t be sympathetic to the “job search” angle

    VA claim check says 2nd claim closed

    Please remind me - how long until I hear from my PEBLO to sign 199? Do the proposed ratings go to the PEB first? AKO has a 12 day window “PEB Findings” - does that mean something will happen in the next 2 weeks? I am giddy with excitement and relief!

    Anxiously waiting

    Hey afangel, Thank you for the supportive words! Sometimes it is tough to see the forest through the trees over here. You are right, I can see the DBQs and NARSUM when they are ready and can ask for an IMR and add information. This should alleviate some of the anxiety. And I can challenge the...

    Confused where I am at

    My PEBLO was pretty good at forecasting when I’d get the MSC call. It was about a week after I finished all of the “inprocessing” including the mandatory meetings and briefs. Once the form went in it was about a week before QTC started calling and I have had all 6 exams in 2 weeks. 26 Mar - p3...

    Anxiously waiting

    Not sure if this is the right place to post - ong time lurker, first time poster. Finished C&P exams today. Was referred to a contractor for 6 total appointments. Nervous because I do not feel that the exam was complete. I know this is typical. Specifically, I noticed that one QTC DBQ form was...
