dang man, what's up?

From the people who run Healthevet, the deleted messages after 14 days go into a database and are stored indefinitely. Mine are gone from that time frame. Poof they disappeared. I did see a private physician around that time and i mentioned it to him that i had seen my VA physician and he...

Thank You. I will do that this morning. Oddly my PCP at Dorn VAMC has stopped responding to my secure messages in healthevet. She use to respond in a 12 hours. Odd

I sent an Release of Information to the Dorn VAMC in Columbia, SC and got my medical record sent to me. However, I was one of the many that was having gastro trouble in late 2011 to late 2012. I was given a consult to gastro from my PCP there and they didn't call me for an appointment for over 6...

Thank you, i will fill it out tonight. I plan to ask my VA doctor for a letter outlining my disabilities and why i need the IU rating. I think that would help. Thanks for the good info!

Thanks, i have tried to call but the VSO i work with..Amvets seem to never be in the office. I am not sure what to do. The Regional Office is 6 hours from my house. It's frustrating.

Can someone tell me how you apply for VA IU? Is it as simple as opening a claim on ebenefits? My VA doctor agrees that i have to many challenges to continue working. I work now but it's very rough on me and i am applying for disability retirement with them too. I meet all the rating guidelines...

nolansgrandpa, I hear you! I got my PDBR results in June of 2010. I never received a DD 215 or a corrected DD 214. I experienced the same thing. I was given no instructions on the SBP, i was just forwarded a retiree package and told to sign the forms and send them to the pay center. I agree...

As stated on the Health.mil website about the PDBR. This is my interpretation. Pretend the VA does not exist. Now, DFAS should configure your retirement pay from retro date of retirement till the day you were notified of retirement. Whatever that amount is, that should offset the severance...

A lot of them do not support Concurrent Receipt for us Chapter 61 retirees either. They state it will lead to other vets not getting compensation as they VA will state some medical problems were genetic and so forth. I don't buy it, i believe we all deserve it. We were wrongly terminated to...

According to the health.mil site, i think the Army should calculate what your retired pay would have been and then apply that to your severance. The VA is still recouping my severance pay and have been since 2003. They won't finish until 2016. HAHAHA! This whole thing is a big mess still, 3...

What it looks like is, DFAS should calculate what your disablity retired pay per year per month to the date your disability retirement was awarded and subtract any severance pay from that. Mine is more than my severance. Why should the VA continue to deduct it from my compensation and me not...

Thanks Mike. Nolansgrandpa, i agree, i am with you on a class action, i would be willing to pitch in money with others to start a class action suit.

Ed, I wasn't necessarily referring to the SBP. I was referring to issues with the VA. A Senator in a state i lived in, his senior staffer told me point blank that they cannot do anything but submit a request for information on a persons behalf, they cannot force a department to act on...

I received a bill for 2000 dollars for the SBP. I never received a retirement briefing, i only received a packet in the mail, i had no idea. I am whizzed and i am not paying the 2g's. I have now been medically retired for 2 years and for what? Nothing. I quit fighting, i contacted Congress and i...

Do you have a link to that DODI?

I was never even asked to waive my military retirement in lieu of VA Comp, though my VA Comp is more. I am retired Coast Guard, we have our own pay and personnel center in Topeka, KS. I think i will open a trouble ticket with them and address it again since maybe it's a little more clear now...

Did of you guys/girls figure out the deal with severance pay recoupment for PDBR retirees? I read on health.mil that they are supposed to calculate what your retirement pay would have been and subtract that minus your severance pay, think that is correct? I want to address it again but i don't...

Movement of Household Good after getting ret. orders via PDBR (UPDATE!!!!!) Good i used my PCS move and only had issues when i filed my travel claim but got it quickly resolved. I also paid $1,996.00 for the Tricare Continued Healthcare Benefit Program. I am getting a refund of that too due to...

I was awarded PCS move to my retirement home of selection and travel entitlements for my dependents and myself. Thank You!!!
