Shane, how was your experience getting an ID and enrolling in Tricare? I have called the 1800 number for DEERS and local number, and Tricare and they insist on my DD214. My family is already listed but we dont have any coverage as of yet.

As a traditional reservist

Thanks for your response. I have heard from a few people that this is what happens. Minus receiving the flag and certificate. I am going through an Active duty base. Its good becasue the people are here, but I dont' think no one really knows what to do with a regular dilling reservist thats not...

OK, I understand now CoolWifes. I have never heard of that being done before. It makes sense and that is good because you can't predict with the VA.

Did your husband do 20 years or is he going to be receiving combat related pay? I asking because you mentioned a retirement check, why is he getting a retirement check if MEB?? that may differ though. He may be able to claim unemployment too! Yes you can expect things to officialy begin the day...

I am being medically retired from the reserves 17 Oct 14. I was previous active duty (07-11). Anywho, I received my orders and I am trying to enroll in DEERS. They asked for my DD214 but I do not have one for this discharge yet or know if I will even get one. Does anyone know or been through...

Hi, I will share my experience with my husbands situation. They do hold your last check, I believe it may have took 3-4 weeks. It also depends what day of the month the ETS, that can depend when they submit the payment paperwork. The VA will start the month following active duty, so Nov should...

Sorry you are going through this. I think you need your 199 and to speak with an attonrney in order for you to detemine if you want to dispute anything. If your dispute would make you get a higher % I'd say go for it. It took me 5 weeks to receive my DA 199. I called my PEBLO a lot too, but I...

I think tart getting your VA check soon (that also has to process). I would try giving them a call Im sure they will tell you something. I heard it could take a few months to get your 1st check. Im a reservist and I was already receiving VA comp, I got my back pay within a week of my VA ratings...

I called a number I got from the HRC website a few weeks ago and it was very helpful to me. I had been waiting almost 5 weeks for my 199. My PEBLO didn't seem concerned at all, so I called. No one had downloaded my VA ratings at all. Needless to say the nice lady I spoke to had my paper...

Thank you for the info! It has been 5 weeks since my VA rating was done. I had to contact the PEB myself yesterday, and the nice lady said my document were there but no one had downloaded them (she began working on it). Obvisiously my peblo did not call anyone like he said he did for the past...

Hello All, I am a reservist going to a MEB for asthma and was awarded 40% once I got off active duty (30 for asthma). My new VA claim was completed 2 July 14 and I recieved the letter and the back pay. My question is how long or whats next after this. I know I am awaiting the 199 but its been...

Its not really fair for the people that want to use Post 911, but at least they say one day ou can get it back. I choose to stay with the MGIB and the kicker because I am a reservist and am able to use TA, I also can use all 36 months of the MGIB and get a year of Post 911. That worked perfect...

You have to elect post 911 and you can NOT switch back. The education reps say you can get your $1200 back once you exhaust the post 911 benefits.

I am a reservist with just about 7 years going through the MEB. I was active duty also. Yes you will have to do the VA claim all over again. I received my Unfit memo about 2 weeks after the VA C&P exam was done. It took 6 months for the VA to rate me and I am still waiting on the DA199 (its been...

My claim went to the VA 12 February and I was sent a letter to submit evidence on claims that were previosly denied ( I added them to my new claim as I am a reservist going through MEB) in May. I submitted the evidence and a few weeks later they sent parts of my claim for review at "Pugert...

I meant I was 40 combined (2011) and now 80 combined (2014). I was active and got 30 for asthma from the 1st va claim, and for the va claim I did for the meb

Rated according to medication

Gsfowler That is interesting. That is exactly why I'm so anxious to know. I got diagnosed with it while in service and it was found unfit by the PEB. In my paperwork it was written thatI can't train to standard, deploy, or do the APFT

Hello, I am a reservist going through MEB for asthma. I started the process 26 November 2013 and my VA ratings were completed and mailed to me on 2 July 2014. I assumed my PEBLO would call and tell me about the VA and Army ratings, but he said he had to wait for the DA199. I was already...
