1.) Thank you very much for the information as so much information could and should be laid out in one single summary of reasonable expectations IMO... 2.) I will research the following also but, I am 100% Permanent and Totally disabled. does this mean I "Will be awarded SSD if I file and any...

Todays date 29 Marrch 2015 I made it to 20 years and 8 days Active Duty after surviving a MEB in 2011/2012 Ebenefit's states "Decision Notification Sent". So I back door'd the system through Ebenefits/documents while waiting for the brown envelope to arrive and found documents which state the...

Congrats. I faced MEB in 2012, returned to duty. Finished my Pre/TAPS and Capstone last month. Just did my Military Physical and the TSO listed 32 claims for me from my 3 volumes of SR's. Awaiting C&P notification. Should do well with CRDP. Very happy for you. For those that want to hit the...

Thank you TSgt Twitch, this too putts my mind at ease. The support from this forum is unique and priceless. Much respect to all, hoorah. Never Surrender.

Thank you for the input. The Concurrent part is what concerned me. I want to hit 20 TAFMS. Big difference between one, the other and both. Never Surrender.

I have applied for and receioved my OFFICIAL Retirement orders dated Relieved from Assignment 31 Oct 2014. (Yeah) I am about to turn in medical paper work that could otherwise cause a MED (Asthma/Kidney Disease). 1.) I have 6 months before I start Terminal Leave + 2 months before Retirement...

Thanks for the support guys. Cheers. Never Surrender.

Thank you as this is what I needed to hear. I planned to hilight but did not wish to be insulting. Much respect, Never Surrender.

First example. I have Asthma with a Pre Drug FEV-1 of <44%. This under (6602) clearly states 60%. Second example.Chronic Kidney Disease III. GFR = 57.2 "Definite decrease in kydney function" (quote) under 4.115a = 60%. Again my question is if I get a boneheaded rep no matter what I should be...

I take it that you are ready to accept a military retirement if offered to you? My goal is/was to make it to 20 TAFMS in order to receive both concurrent DOD and VA. It is possible for you to do so it seems as I work with an individual that has been in the system for over 14 months and still...

Thank you very much for your support. I agree, it is unlikely that an MEB would get started and finished in time to keep me from reaching 20 TAFMS. My anxiety gets the best of me and I dwell on the negative. I just need to shut my mouth and do my job the best I can every day for one last year...

In addition my doctor just increased (1) medication due to the fact that (1) condition has worsened. Would the military want to wait for the problem to stabilize/worsen/improve (6 month period) before starting a MEB or is that too much to hope for? in fact I have learned in the last 2 weeks that...

Yes Sir, that is exactly correct. Not to mention the slim chance that none of this is perfect and a silly 20% severance could be forced upon me though unlikely. Thank you, Never Surrender

Thank you. The "Ahead of time" and good guidance is what I am interested in. I want to be very careful though not to do anything that may result in a MED process between now and November 2014. I Plan to apply for retirement next month for the following November 1 2014. 60 days Terminal Leave...

In trying to beat the DOD to the punch and better control the findings of a C&P physical, I understand that I can meet with the DAV to file claims while on active duty. I plan to file for term of service retirement in October for November 1 2014 but wish to avoud the MEB machine in the time...

Thank you for the input. Never Surrender.

Thank you Psych. This is in fact the problem in which I adressed. It appears that if I have a rating of < 44 Asthma with a advair 230/21 and a rating of apnea with an assist of a machine and a letter from my pulmonary doctor each may be rated. Thanks guys. Respectfully. Never Surrender.

Indeed it does Sir. Thank you very much. Never Surrender.

Thank you. Yes in fact I would like to know how to ensure that the Apnea (Should it be diagnosed) and the Asthme are rated separately? I have heard of only one being picked over the other in addition to both being rated. Also, I keep great records and have doctors quote the narratives from the...

Last week I also received my latest results from my Pulmonary and Nephrologist. Pulmonary: Asthma Pre Drug FEV-1 = 44 < (Severe Obstruction) Now using Advair 230/21 Should be a 60% rating I believe according to the eCFR (4.115a) when turned in. Nephrology: CKD III GFR is down from 63% to...
