    Individual Unemployability

    Hello All, I just wanted to try and wrap my head around Individual Unemployability. I know I qualify based on the fact that I have 1 service- connected disability rated at 50% and a combined rating of 70%. However, my main question is do I need to file a completely new compensation and...

    DOES ARMY PAY DLA FOR MEB?

    I just medically retired from ft bliss, they will cover all expenses with a dity move. They do not pay DLA, however. Also, when you go to transportation the ladies working at the desk will tell you, you cannot get advance pay for moving. But this is not the case, after sitting through the...

    Veterans Preference

    My advice is to print whatever job description you're applying for on USAJOBS read all the way to the bottom and make sure under "required documents" you submit everything they ask for! Often times, each job wants different forms. Also, the systems they use for reviewing resumes are computer...

    SSDI, should I start off with a lawyer?

    I submitted the application on line and within about a month I was contacted via phone by a social security counselor. She went over my packet, clarified some dates, and corrected a few things. Around three months later I was called by the same counselor, told my benefits were approved and went...

    Ft Bliss

    Signed my NARSUM in September, got my ratings back around the 20th of December. Close to 90 days all in all. Hang in there, once you get the ratings and sign your 199 it is very quick from there!

    Time from signing 199 to terminal leave at Ft. Bliss?

    It's just a formula of your monthly base pay x months in the year / days in the year to give you = daily pay rate. Only difference would be during leap year. Days in a particular month is not a variable here. Only the days of leave.

    Time from signing 199 to terminal leave at Ft. Bliss?

    The formula is monthly base pay times 12 divided by 365 that will give you your daily pay rate then multiply that by your number of days. I tend to lean towards selling days myself. In my case my unit is pretty cool as far as leaving me alone and only having me there for formations and piss...

    Help interpreting this from unfit memo.

    Yeah, my PEBLO called me when she received it and I just asked if I could get a copy of it for my records. Thank you both for your replies. I assumed that is was referring to two different diagnoses but I have learned not to assume anything in this process.

    Some new developments today. I got word from my PEBLOS assistant that my unfit memo came back and shocking they found me unfit for all referred conditions. She also told me I should receive my 199 within 120 days from 12 November. It's not much but I guess it's at least something. 120 days seems...
