    FINALLY received my findings!

    I received my findings on August 25, and called HQMC MMSR-4 on September 31 about my new EAS. Their info is here...

    FINALLY received my findings!

    They will take my entire seps pay $133 at a time, until my $73,000 is repaid lol. Good for them. I'm not aware of a situation where they would take more than the 20% rate, but I am sure there are. I've learned a lot about this over the last nine months, but I have only focused on and really...

    FINALLY received my findings!

    100% disabled veteran with spouse and child is $3187.60. Add $80.52 for each additional child under 18. That comes to $3268.12. My boardable unfitting condition was rated 10%, so the VA withholds the "10% disabled rate" until my seps pay is recouped. The 10% rate is $133.17, which should leave...

    FINALLY received my findings!

    Neither the PEBLO or the VA rep mentioned it. I have to meet with a hospital case worker next week, and she will schedule my initial VA clinic visit in Michigan right after my EAS. I assume they will discuss that there. I was rated for depression/adjustment disorder and I know they usually...

    FINALLY received my findings!

    10% DoD and 100% VA. Officially it was 45 days Post-VA QA and I received my proposed findings. It's really a best case scenario, since I don't need a military retirement. I only have to pay back $133/month of my $3268 compensation to cover my seps pay. I will be receiving about $73k in seps so...

    SSDI Focusing on Wrong Condition?

    Yeah I definitely understand the 12-month requirement. I just can't understand where, in ANY of my paperwork, they could have found October/November 2016 as a "start date". Seems totally random. Also, I am EASing and moving from California to Michigan next month, so I don't know how that will...

    SSDI Focusing on Wrong Condition?

    My case was deferred until November 1st, 2016 and I have no idea why. The paper I got in the mail states that that would be my 12-month mark of not performing substantial work. My caseworker won't answer the phone or call me back. I can't find anything in my own records indicating what would...

    How to Contact PEB?

    I called them this morning. The LT that answered said packages are taking 60 days right now. What really pisses me off is seeing things like how your package was accepted by the board 48 hours before mine, and I am still waiting for my ratings while you have already denied and requested a FPEB...

    How to Contact PEB?

    I have heard there are some phone numbers floating around to contact the PEB. I am a Marine, so my case goes through the Department of the Navy. I am post-VA, just waiting on my DoD ratings so I can get out of here. I would like to see if I can contact the PEB to see what is taking so long. As...

    "Pending proposed rating decision"

    My timeline is in my signature. Very frustrating and taking forever.

    Timeline at VA

    I'm at 9 weeks today and I don't see a phone call coming this afternoon, so I voted 10+ weeks. I did find out about 3 weeks ago that my initial proposed is 100% VA. My PEBLO can see that in her system. But that is unofficial because the DoD side is still holding my package and I have received...

    SSDI Focusing on Wrong Condition?

    Thanks for the info. That is what I was thinking might be the case.

    SSDI Focusing on Wrong Condition?

    I applied for SSDI for both of my wrists, which are extremely bad. Like, can't like more than 4-5 pounds ever and chronic pain on a daily basis. I didn't say anything about my sleep apnea anywhere on my application. When my package went to the determining authority and they pulled my medical...

    Frustrating Timeline, Very Slow!

    Well my IDES claim went historical today and my dependents were added to my original claim. Hallelujah!

    Frustrating Timeline, Very Slow!

    You can see my entire timeline in my signature. If you can't see my signature for some reason, I will post it below. I have seen other people that had their boards accepted around the same time as me actually get some info back, but mine seems to be moving at a snail's pace. Marine Corps...

    Average wait time

    It's crazy how much it can change. You can see my timeline in my signature below. But there is a guy on here in the Army who sent his package in the same week as mine, and he had his last day already. I am still waiting on VA ratings for a month now.

    Lost the fight...MEB time

    Your Non Medical Assessment that your CO does can make a big impact. If you state your desire to stay in, and your CO supports that you can still perform your job even with some limitations, it leans in your favor. Request Permanent Limited Duty Unconditional.

    Finally Received Findings

    I would rather have the lump sum, because it will be a down payment on my house. I will be able to start building my dream retirement home and be debt free on everything except a mortgage. However, the advantage to Tricare is that: A) you have been using it your entire career so you are...
