I have come across WAY TOO many folks in my military career and many multiples of that since I left Army service. What the Actual Fuck? Leaders- It is your sacred responsibility to kill this type of shit in your unit. Historically, leaders have failed and Congress seems like it has passed...

You are best suited to start your own thread. The general question of whether there are any updates to a thread that started in 2018 is unlikely to garner any meaningful answers. When (or if) you do start your own thread, it would be helpful to spell out what is similar. Is it the condition that...

I hope everyone had a Happy Veterans Day 2021 and took time to enjoy the day and reflect on both their own service, the service of those still in uniform, and the common sacrifices that are shared among us in this very special group. My young daughters asked me this morning about the day (they...

Welcome, MCUSAF! I hope you find this community helpful. Based on the separate tracks that the DES works in (though, at times in parallel), and especially based on the administrative and evidentiary standards needed to reduce a rating on the VA side, it is highly unlikely that going through the...

There have been major personnel changes at the Navy PEB. This includes at the higher HQ. the Navy Council of Review Boards (CORB). There have been retirements and replacements of senior personnel (one of whom was a former uniformed PEB President who is now serving as DoN Civilian). I am not...

If you are found unfit for any condition (but, in your case, it seems that is diabetes) if you want to challenge the rating assigned by either the IPEB or the FPEB,(applying the rating assigned by the VA DRAS) you will need to file a VARR (VA rating reconsideration request).

Would need to see all of the details about your case to provide any input. Based on what you wrote it sounds like you waited too long (generally 6 years) to file a claim in the US Court of Federal Claims. In some rare instances, I have gotten client's cases heard in that court past six years...

I wanted to offer just a brief comment on the withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is an issue that is now even more important to me as my son is currently deployed in Kabul. (He has been there for several months with his deployed unit; he is able to text and while he is tired, he is safe and is...

Not going to shill for my own gain here. Maybe contact Jack Gately (@johnbgately ). He is the only attorney, other than me, that I think really understands this area of law.

@Kmr08n, I hope this helps. These are my thoughts about your situation. Understand, my thoughts are limited by the fact that I don't everything about your case and I am only going off of what you posted. You have maxed out your main compensation from what you posted. So this is a good place...

I think you already decided your course of action based on the last post. Here are some comments based on the previous posts. I hope all goes well for you and you get what you are entitled to receive from your service! That seems accurate, however, it also seems "optimistic" that a rating...

I am going to respond with generalities here because I am not sure what you would seek to appeal. (It's not clear what you would want to appeal- the unfit finding? Whether there are additional conditions that should be found unfit? The rating for any unfitting conditions? It is not clear what...

I want to thank Provis for his offer to serve as a PEB Forum Moderator! This forum works only to the extent that members participate and offer experiences and tips about the process for members who may be facing disability processing. Provis has been a long-time member of the forum and he has...

Sandsailor, Welcome to the PEB Forum! I will try to answer your questions based on what information you have provided. I hope all goes well for you! Your question is not very clear, but I think you are asking if the decision of the MEB or the Navy can impact your VA rating. If so, the...
