    NARCOLEPSY RATING

    I have a question for Mike or Jason. E-Profile just posted an updated permanent profile DA 3349 that does not have my Narcolepsy listed on top as a condition. Narcolepsy with Cataplexy was what got me originally sent for MEB/PEB. After 12 months and a stop and restart its morphed into...

    VA 5 or 10 Point Preference

    I saw a woman at the transition office the other day and she told me not to wait on my DD-214 but to start applying for jobs right now. So I applied for a GS13 slot and was told I couldn't apply for a job that needed my VA preference until I received proof that I would be rated with a...

    NARCOLEPSY RATING

    Mike Parker handled a NARSUM rebbuttal a few months ago for someone on here who also had Narcolepsy. At Walter Reed they told me that the Doctors there have been trying to not rate people as even having Narcolepsy. I thought the analogous ratings format was changing and that they should use...

    Finally almost over. My time line:

    This sounds amazing for your breakdown of percentages. I hope mine go as well. I am just about to get my NARSUM read and I would walk on hot coals to get the outcome you have had. Good luck with the rest of the process.

    medically retired vs. VA compensation

    To Joshgo, thanks about that category 6 issue, yes you are correct. I was not saying that he/she would get concurrent receipt, what I was saying was that there are multiple bills being brought to the floor in both houses of congress and the natural progression of things, if you look at the...

    medically retired vs. VA compensation

    Medical retirement is what you want to do. 1. You and your wife will maintain Tricare Standard or Tricare Prime until age 62, then it goes to Tricare for Life. Currently I have a neighbor who just left the navy and he is now a federal employee, his monthly health insureance is $450 a...

    weight carried by a rating already held? (NG)

    All MEB/PEB actions at this point should be with IDES. If that is the case the MEB writes the NARSUM using the complete VA exams. The PEB is required by federal law to use the ratings set by the VA in the VASRD. Now for example, the Army will still decide what conditions do not meet retention...
