    PDRL pay or VA pay?

    So please correct me if I am totally off here. I received my ratings and I got 40% DOD and 60% VA and I am going to be permanently retired. I have been in the Army for 4 years. The 60% VA comes out to around $1,041 a month. After reading what is below, it sounds like I would be paid more money...

    Update on my timeline. This may help others

    Bottom line up front. The VA rated my case right after they received my C&P exam results and BEFORE I received my unfit letter from the PEB. I am active duty Army. From what I understand the army would not request ratings from the VA until after I was found unfit by the PEB not just the MEB. I...

    Question about enlistment bonus

    Does anyone know how they handle the money yet to be paid on an enlistment bonus? I received an enlistment bonus of 20,000. I got the first 10k when I arrived at my first duty station. The rest is given for the rest of my initial enlistment on my year mark. I signed for 6 years and have another...

    Rating for Ulnar Neuropathy?

    One of my unfitting conditions is a left ulnar neuropathy (at the elbow), moderately severe. This is my non-dominant arm. For the life of me I can't seem to find the right way to rate this looking through the VASRD. If anyone could give me some kind of idea how that will be rated I would...

    Question about bonuses

    When getting a medical discharge through the IDES what do they do about bonuses? Do you have to pay back the amount you have received? Do they just not pay you the rest you are owed? Do they still pay you since they are service connected?

    Baltimore VA timelines?

    So it appears that my packet is at the Baltimore VA for ratings. Called the VA and they said they have all the information they need. I'm around 105 days waiting on ratings. Does anyone have an idea on their timelines?

    How to set up Ebenefits

    So when opening an ebenefits account during the IDES process is there anything you have to do or upload before it will update while you are waiting for ratings? I realize people say it is unreliable and not to bother but I am just curious.

    APFT during IDES

    Are we expected to do the portions of the APFT we can according to our profile if we are going through the IDES process? Is it up to the commander? Just curious as I've heard things about not doing PT after your physicals.

    C&P exam results

    I had my C&P exams July 1-3 and I still don't think my PEBLO has gotten the results yet. I didn't need to have anything else done. So how long does it usually take for them to receive the results of the C&P exams?

    Confused on the order of things...

    So I just started the process. I had my meeting with my PEBLO yesterday and the VA claims meeting today. They are saying I will do VA exams before anything is sent to the MEB, then on to the PEB. I realize this isnt for disability ratings, but from what it seems on here people usually meet with...
