I took a 3 inch binder with the records needed to prove my claim. I had it tabbed so I could find things quickly. It came in handy, I had some things that they needed.

The status online changed several times for me. It showed closed for a brief period then changed back to pending until I submitted my dd214 and they finalized the ratings. When it changed the first time I called and they emailed me my proposed ratings. They sent them to me on the first try, it’s...

They won’t finalize it till you’re discharged and you send them your dd-214

In my case the flight doc initiated the MEB, it seems to me, with flyers, the flight doc would be the one to determine what issues are or are not compatible with flight duties as they are the ones who actually DNIF you. Additionally, if you have a good relationship with the flight doc you can...

Go to the local vet center, they can look in the system and check the status of your case. Your PEBLO should be able to help as well

How long has it been taking for the VA to finalize ratings after discharge?

My last day today, a very odd feeling after 35 years of service.

Ask your MSC, they can look in the system and see what’s going on.

Why not ask for the PTDY, it’s paid time that will help in your transition. If your commander has been supportive I bet he/she approves it. The worst that can happen is they say no.

In my case I was specific telling them I have 15 years TAFMS and around 7800 points toward retirement. Seems this is one of those issues where you get a different answer every time you ask the question. I know a few people who are getting paid and a few others who are not.

I called DFAS and asked and they told me 1405 time doesn’t count And I would have to wait till I reach my reduced retired age of 57.5???
