Not sure if this was part of the question, but there are (usually) cost of living increases.

This research report from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research contains a breakdown of metrics in the DES across the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. (No Coast Guard information, and no breakdown or inclusion of Space Force cases). It includes metrics and analysis of types of...

Jason Perry submitted a new resource: Disability Evaluation System Analysis and Research (DESAR) - Analysis of DES from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Focus on metrics 2017-2022 Read more about this resource...

I am currently fighting this issue of "NDR" processing for an Army client. For cases where there is no period of active duty of more than 30 days or an injury incurred while at IDT or ADT, there a fewer issues you can fight. Basically (and here is the "rub") if your disabilities weren't incurred...

I am really glad to welcome JMATTK as our newest moderator. The goal of the site is to inform, educate, and provide a community for those facing military disability evaluation system processing. The members provide the questions and share their experiences, but the "glue" that makes this work is...

Ideally, the PEB will make this finding in the results of the board. That is where you normally see this determination. It is often stated as "administrative findings" (along with Federal Civil Service crediting of points. It is not the same as a combat-related finding. That determination is...

THe previous answer ("No") is technically correct. There is no option to elect a lesser degree of fitness or disability rating than awarded by the PEB. However, I have had a few cases over the past 18 years where a client wanted that result (to get severance over retirement). And, in some cases...

It's looking more certain that a shutdown will happen. I wanted to share what I know. I just read this from a Military Times article: "Navy leaders said that all physical evaluation board processes for sailors and Marines will be paused until the shutdown is resolved." I suspect that this will...

Court orders new PEB for certain Sailors and Marines This is a very good option for affected DoN personnel.

I hope everyone has taken a moment to reflect on the sacrifices of our Brothers and Sisters who have given the ultimate sacrifice in military service to our Great Nation. I also hope that you all have enjoyed the day. To me, the day is best served by taking time to honor the fallen and also to...

The rules apply the same to all classes of retirees. There are defenses, though. The case linked above mentions 30 year retirees. I don’t think that’s been tested. All in all, I wouldn’t worry.

That’s right, I had forgotten about that case. Here’s a link to it: https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/89582D07D5E9CBB78525889200515BFF/$file/21-5012-1957468.pdf While he was retired for length of service and transferred to Fleet Reserve, the connecting factor with the military...

Yeah. The AF lists 3 Categories on their PEB findings (AF 356): CATEGORY I - UNFITTING CONDITIONS CATEGORY II - CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE UNFITTING BUT ARE NOT CURRENTLY UNFITTING CATEGORY III - CONDITIONS THAT ARE NOT UNFITTING AND NOT COMPENSABLE OR RATABLE

I am following up to make clear two points. Most everyone provided answers that make sense and would apply to the baseline issue of appealing a TDRL finding based solely on MH condition. However, there are rare instances with nuances where a member is not always placed on the TDRL with MH...

Congratulations! I hope that's a good outcome for you and properly compensates you for your disabilities!

There's a lot to unpack here and the usual caveats apply about not knowing all of the facts of your case. I am basing these comments on what I know from what you wrote and without knowing all of the details. Still, I can make some educated guesses. First, understand that the language you cited...

Technically, if you are retired, you still fall under UCMJ. The basis for this is long and somewhat complicated, but essentially while retired you are actually receiving “retainer pay.” That is, with the right Presidential finding about a war, you can actually be called back to active duty when...

This guy puts out a lot of good short vid clips. This one on mental health in the Army is great: https://www.facebook.com/reel/267295055747696?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&mibextid=cQhAVf

As a general comment for all those with questions about anything to do with legal/administrative questions, the starting point is to look at the applicable regulation(s). In your case,AR 635-40 states: "6–9. Disposition at end of continuation period Approval authorities for COAD/COAR Soldiers...
