Hello, I have a question about the retirement pay that I am eligible to apply for since my DOD% is 50%. I was told that there was a website that I would have to use to apply for that benefit. I'm not talking about the disability pay that kicks in 30-60 days after I separate but the one where I...

Thank you for everything! Happy thanksgiving to you as well! I hope that it does help.

Yes. Thank you for your input! I will submit the request on Monday. I will not have to do another C&P exam, from what I understand they will base the decision on what my provider wrote and my medical record probably. I will find more out when I do submit it, hopefully the counseling will provide...

Yes. Well, if all goes well, the request would increase my DoD rating to at least 50%. My provider wrote a letter that aligned with a higher percentage rating, providing examples that aligned with the 50% verbiage, instead of the original 30% that I was given. I definitely thank you for the...

Yes it was. He did give me an option of submitting evidence after I separate but told me if I was able to provide a letter beforehand I wouldn’t have to wait a year to get my findings re-evaluated.

UPDATE: I was advised to submit a DAV with a letter from my provider. Any thoughts?

Oh ok thank you! I think I might have worded that differently, I was more focused on attempting to get opinions on whether I should accept my findings or not.

Thank you so much for the help!

If they separate me while I’m out on TDRL will my other disabilities still apply? My other conditions total 50%, but if I’m understanding right, you are saying because the mental health condition is what I was referred for, that is the basis for my TDRL.

Yes it does. How often do they do exams? Is it common for mental health conditions to be on TDRL or PDRL? I will definitely update once I talk to legal. Thank you!

Thank you! I will definitely try to reach out to them first thing Monday.

It does retire me temporarily. I just don’t understand how TDRL works in long term.

No as of right now temporary.

Did you get your findings? Are you accepting?

I just received my proposed findings 30% for generalized anxiety but wasn’t rated specifically for gen. Depression and agoraphobia. I got 80% overall. Thoughts on whether to accept findings would be appreciated. Thank you!

Oh also I got a letter from the VA stating that I could file for three more conditions. Should I wait to file them after I get my ratings or can I file them now?

Thank you!

I was told that I was unfit oct 3rd and my va account states that my claim was closed on the 21st of oct. How long has it been taking to get ratings after that?
