Ok, lets say I went the limited duty route and retired at 20 as an E-8 ($5009 in todays dollars). I'd retire at 50%, $2504, and I'd add the entire VA $2139.48 for a total monthly benefit of $4643...yes? Now, if I just went PDRL at 18 years for a total entitlement of $3217...I would add in a...

I probably will depending on what OAC says.

I may explore the LD option. My PEBLO mentioned in 30+ years she has only seen one approved. So assuming I don't take that option or it is denied, are you saying there is no way I'll get the combined VA/DoD amount that the calculator indicates (assuming CRSC is denied)?

Update: Was found unfit at 30% for asthma. VA justification mentioned the two conflicting exams and they went with the most severe basically. Reason for 30% decision from VA was because of "daily inhalational therapy and inhalational anti-inflammatory medication". They also mentioned "When...

Just received PEB results. Recommendation: TDRL 70% DoD, 90% VA. Ratings came back as expected. I didn't expect TDRL. I also didn't expect my PTSD to be rated "Combat, NOT combat related". I've accumulated 3 commanders' letters detailing deployed combat ops and mentioning immediate PTSD...

Check my timeline. I've "heard" you can get order within 2 weeks if you don't appeal.

Help me out here guys....after about 2 years on this forum I'm still confused. Just received word from my PEBLO today that the PEB recommends TDRL for "PTSD (Combat Zone, Not Combat related) 50% and Reactive Airway Disease/Asthma; DVA rated as asthma" 30% for a combined compensable percentage...

Update: Notified 14APR16 findings of TDRL "PTSD-Combat zone, Not Combat Related" 50% and "Reactive Airway Disease/Asthma; DVA Rated as Asthma" 30%. Combined Compensable percent of 70%. VA ratings came back at combined 90%. Pebforum and vets yuku have been awesome in getting me ready for...

Day 15...right at the average AF processing time for receiving initial Ratings. Just notified on the phone that I'll be TDRL. Going in for specifics. I'm a little bit pissed....

Day 15. PEBLO just told me I'll be placed on TDRL. Going in for the specifics soon. But right now....I'm hot.

Nope...I'm on day 10 now.

I've seen 6 to 9 days (for AF) between VA sending ratings to IPEB to member notification. I called OAC yesterday and they took my social and looked it up...but didn't see any update. I'm on day 8, so I hope to probably hear something next week.

VA sent my ratings package to IPEB on 25Mar, so I'm right behind you. I haven't been notified yet.

Congrats! Looks like the VA got your ratings sent to the PEB alot sooner than mine. Was thinking of calling OAC to see if they'll spill the beans before my PEBLO does.

Received unfit notice on 17FEB16. Ebenefits and phone call to VA verified ratings returned to AFPC on 25MAR16. Waiting for ratings....Hoping for/estimating 70%+ PDRL.

I have roughly the same timeline. Notified by PEBLO that on 17FEB16 I was found unfit. Since 17FEB16, my ebenefits has me at "Preparation for decision". What's interesting is my VA status page estimated completion date started at 4/14/2016-4/26/2016 then went to 3/16/2016-4/14/2016...now it's...

Posted originally in vets.yuku I hesitate to ask questions related to this subject due to the consistent negative comments related to drone operations, but I need assitance...so here it goes... I'm an 18 year, E-8, active AF RPA operator currently in the mid-stages of the IDES process. My...

Wow. That's some BS right there about the guy with the broken leg. As for my case, I'll be claiming chronic PTSD and tinnitus. PTSD from many many weapons employment directly onto enemy force. Tinnitus from taking cover during a rocket attack...right under a very low base speaker tower...
