I signed off on my formal PEB DA199 (50%), then found a technical VA error in a rating. One of my rated conditions, which from day one 2 yrs ago was carried by VA at 30% dropped to 10%. This VA reviewer quoted from a C&P exam which wasn't mine (oveworked, I'm sure). The request for VA to...

RicK: realized that I hadn't fully answered your query. Where you are in the process is the MEB reviews medical issues and states what you have, if incurred in service, aggravated by service, etc... the next stage would be PEB (physical evaluation) which will produce definitive fit/unfit and...

Rick: RUN, do not walk, to a JAG office. Or call. If your file is in process at MEB level, then you have a covering MTF which has JAG assigned to it. If you aren't sure which one covers you, or extremely remote, any JAG office can and should track it down for you. You are entitled to a JAG to...

I'm not an expert but a fellow Soldier that had been at crossroads, too. In 5, 10 or 20 yrs will it matter if you stayed on or if you got some help to optimize yourself? With an appreciable decision to make, you may not have your head in the game so to speak, because of distractions. You are...

Those morons are the ones that make our own legit claims so hard! I hope he does Leavenworth. Sad, just sad. PDR 50% VA 100%

Thank you Jason. My JAG underimpressed me at my MEB stage. I'm working w/ my AL rep now on appealing to the formal PEB. I plan to refer to their error and recommend the appropriate break-out in a list-style then comment on how one in the bundle is actually closer to 75%, not 30%. Can you help...

I'm so confused I think I greet myself coming and going ~ any guidance or suggestions would be warmly appreciated! The PEB findings % is too low and they bundled 3 different category unfit for duty findings into dental/oral. How do I appeal to seperate them as they should be? Just re-list them...

I am currently in the same situation - MEB'd with a MEB doctor that couldn't be bothered to read my file. At the last minute, a surgeon found a condition that might be 100% responsible for major cranial neuralgia and got permission to operate. After 6 weeks, its a minor improvement but not the...

Thanks for the insight, its appreciated and makes sense. the vago is painful, the rest are an Annoyance with a capital 'A' that interfere with lots, but hey, there are folks that would give love to trade problems, so no complaints....Ok, complaints, but no whining. Thanks so much, Chem! I...

My concerns are really 3 items, but I have to work them concurrently. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I have Vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia as 1 of my diagnosis which is unresponsive to RX and unpredictable w/ daily baseline of 5. (cranial nerves going rogue that exceed pain scale or...
