    When Am I Found Unfit? So Unclear Right Now!

    I was told that as well, but I have also read that the rtd, sep w/severance, permanent medical, and temp medical determination only takes a couple weeks. The rest of that four months is the VA rating each condition, but I could be wrong here. The reason the determination is important to me is...

    When Am I Found Unfit? So Unclear Right Now!

    What a cluster

    Thanks for the replys so far. One of the issues I face is Travis is five hours away but is my nearest anything, as I am remote as an AGR. I know it is all a guessing and waiting game, but having a idea of the process helps ease my thoughts.
