Got through to OPM and it's sitting at the same office waiting for someone to work it. The guy told me call back in a month and it should have moved by then. I was like nope been told that now two months in a row. He was like you should be finalized in August, I was like I'm not even getting...

That really good for you. I tried to call OPM last couple days couldn't get though. Shouldn't you get back paid to January or maybe they don't back pay tell it's final? You leap frogged me!! Lol

Has anyone made progress on the DR? I haven't heard anything, crickets. I think Friday morning I will call and look into what's going on with OPM. If it's still waiting for someone to work it I will ask to speak to supervisor, from there if I get nothing or just wait a few more months I will do...

I called OPM for an update on the DR. I received my denial letter March 3 and my case has not moved since April 27. I was told it's waiting on an employee to work it. I asked about suspending my health insurance because we paid to use my wife's insurance. I don't want to pay thousands in back...

My wife is paying for insurance out of her pay now. I Would like for them to not pull out 400 500 month for insurance that they did not give me access to for who knows how long. It is really a fubar system FERS has created. I was looking at my denial letter and I think I emailed my agancy HR and...

I received my denial letter 3 months ago. I thought by now I would have interim payment. I haven't talked with anyone from ABC for a long while. I never received any emails from ABC. next week I will do some calling see if I can figure out what's up. One of the guys on this forum months ago...

Thanks for the information. I just got 100% pt from the VA thank you Jesus!!. Honestly I heard many bad things about the VA and overall I had good experiences mostly with going though the process. Had a couple of raters that I felt didn't rate correctly but tried again and it worked out for...

That's really good news for you, they didn't get me the option to stay I had 30 days from some point I don't remember exactly when. But I did have the option to stay in LWOP. I was in LWOP all of January and part of February. If I would have stayed in LWOP I could have kept my health insurance...

That's what I was thinking also. Our situations are a little bit different than other federal employees. I was denied quite a while back and I keep thinking getting close who knows. I found a group on Facebook that follows OPM civil service disability retirement. I noticed the timeline seem to...

I was a WG10 step 5. Yes I will really enjoy the back pay. I should get back paid to the beginning of January. I wonder if we get Backpage when interim payments start or if we have to wait for it to be completely completed?

They talk 60 to 80 days my thinking was from what spot in the process not from when you sign papers. It says in there from final adjudication, if I'm not mistaken that's when it pretty much done. Thanks for the article I'm just bringing out the pessimist!!

Hopefully it helps someone in the future. I called OPM today to see if I could get an update. They told me they can't give me a timeframe for completion. I told her I signed my paperwork back in November so I knew it was gonna take a few months but hopefully not a year she told me she had seen...

No mine was more than 15 less than 20. I had 19 years drill time not TAFMS. It goes though like a normal retirement if you are being pushed out due to medical conditions.

I'm not sure about that. I was told the insurance would back pay me if I save receipts and file the paperwork. An issue I had was insurance doesn't pay full price and if I pay full price? Blue Cross blue shield said they would only reimburse what they would pay. Maybe you can keep your insurance...

Yeah that's how it was for me to Af form 356 then later orders. The HR tried to use that form in place of my retirement orders and the army benefits center that process all that was like nope. They need your orders and AFPC was probably still behind. I had the squadron commander help me some at...

Yeah I went though a process and was found unfit for military not inline of duty, if it was inline of duty I would have gotten a military medical retirement. Basically if you don't meet the time requirements for some type of normal military retirement you get separated due to medical conditions...

Unless you meet the age time requirements for a normal Fers retirement it will be Fers disability retirement. As long as your medical conditions caused loss of military membership it's going to be Fers disability retirement. Your HR will go over it with you when you do paperwork with them. The...

He stated it was not inline of duty so he won't get Tricare. Guard bureau is saying his condition has nothing to do nor was it aggravated by his military service. That's also what happened with mine, you do have a time frame to fight them but it's not long.

Yeah that's correct. OPM will process it as a normal Fers disability retirement which will be denied for the special provision public law one. If you are worried about insurance I would ask your HR about LWOP, I just don't know if it can stay that way tell the end. They really don't let you work...

Well, my recommendation is talk with your insurance company about arranging to keep it up. After you are officially separated I had paperwork that stated OPM will be the agency that keeps health insurance going not the old employing agency. You can try to talk with OPM honestly that's not easy...
