Personally, I got fed up with it all. Took my paperwork to my local Congressman and filed a congressional against the VA and DOD. None of my exam matched up. If I was a civilian I could have sued and won my lawsuit on how screwed up my paperwork is.

From the Army site it states once you go to formal that all prior offers are null and void. Good luck.

Sorry after re-reading it was referring to the phase in period from 2008-2014. I thought it meant that the program was ending. Thanks for fact checking me

Yes, I am aware of all the points mentioned. I want to thank each of you for your support. I am by far not an expert, even if things are repeated, it still helps me and other people reading this blog. In my appeal, I had JAG write it up the way I wanted which is that my back injury (20%)...

Tha Thank you for sharing the rational. I have learned numerous things from this site. Knowledge is always good.

Mike, thanks for your input. Took everyone's advice and filed the appeal. Also went the next step forward and started a congressional inquiry into the IDES system here at Fort Gordon after trying to speak with DCCS and being put aside. The VA rep for Congressman Allen office told me I was the...

Welcome to the site. I am curious why psoriasis would be considered unfitting? It doesn't interfere with your duties. Plus, I would find a homeopathic doctor and see what they suggest. Dumping drugs into your body isn't always the right answer, it's just what drug companies want. Personally, I...

Ok, from what JAG told me is that as an officer I may not be able to do my job as a nurse but I can do administration therefore the MEB could say i meet job requirements. I think that is were their coming from. You can do other jobs within your grade. Plus if your within a year of retirement...

VA has to review, PEB has to put their stuff in. Mine sat like that for around three weeks. Then peblo called me in two weeks later to go over it. It shouldn't be much longer.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I think the other people gave you some sound advise. Stay strong, prays with you.

See your PCM and get all things you want listed as unfit. They will only talk to you about what is listed. Even though per regulation they are suppose to go through everything.

I would take the offer. Don't sweat the VA stuff because when you get out and go to your VA appointments they will add it in to your reconsideration. Don't be surprised too if they lower or change other things. From my understanding from listening to other people it happens. Their not looking...

Thank you for your input. I disagree with your first thought. It did go through 10-12 people at the IPEB for checks. It was signed by the COL who sits on the board. My whole frustration is that after being checked by all these individuals it is still wrong. I would not have known the real damage...

Okay everyone here is the latest. I went and signed saying I concurred and after signing just as I was heading out my peblo calls me back and says "I didn't know you have reserve time, therefore what their offering isn't valid". Therefore, since you signed you have till tomorrow to decide if you...

I have nothing for V1 or V2.

Yes, your right Mike. V4 states combat zone but still qualifies for non-taxable severance from what I have been told and read.

I hear what your saying and I have been struggling with this but the boards are doing screwy things and I just don't want to chance it. Where I will reside the nearest base is 5 hours away. And even if I outlive the 14yrs I will still have VA, SS and my investments. Financially, I will be okay.

I will forego my retirement by taking the severance. I just went over twenty years this past month. The severance will equal the same payment of being medically retired at 30% for about 14 yrs. It is non-taxable. I will be able to collect social security at that time. I think I can invest it and...

I feel your pain. My MEB was for right hip issues which have not resolved to this day even after surgery. Like you I was given a 0% rating but found unfit. JAG recommended me to appeal on my PTSD percentage but it appears lately that they are even rejecting that argument. I feel that something...
