I had approved MEDCON orders but those were squashed - another story entirely. Since I was supposed to be on orders this whole time, that would make any new condition during this period service related.I got a new diagnosis today but since I'm not on orders, like I was supposed to be, this...

I would recommend staying in through the MEB, you'll be glad down the road. As far as jobs go, there's a possibility you could take some leave, start a civilian job then take military leave from the civilian job and return to your MEB. My company (CACI) has done similar things for new hires they...

My Dr wanted to wait to start my MEB, she thought the more documentation she had, the better they would be able to evaluate my condition. She waited nearly a year, during which time I had 3 flare ups and plenty of documentation, scopes, etc. So, yes, the MEB can be postponed. I asked my Dr to...

So just to clarify, if I was making $2000 a month on while on orders and my civilian job now only pays $1000 a month, would INCAP would pay the $1000 difference per month in lost income? And how are pay and allowances calculated? Based on home of record or the last paycheck (overseas, COLA...

Turns out I wasn't even supposed to initiate my retirement, the PEBLO was and they dropped the ball. Found the correct POC at Randolph that will be processing my entire retirement, correctly, effective 27 Sep 12. Yes, I'll be filing a claim for unlawful discharge when this is all over. Is...

I'm a USAF Reserve IMA with little to no support. My main POC is the same person that interfered and canx'd my approved MEDCON orders, so needless to say I have a very hard time dealing with them, and certainly don't trust them. My PEBLO (RAF Lakenheath) is equally useless. I started getting...

I just got the results of my informal board, permanent retirement at 30%. I have other conditions that didn't make it into my MEB that I would like to have included in my rating but not sure if I want to take my chances and lose the 30% (my condition is rated at either 10% and 30% - I thought I...

I just got permanent retirement with 30% for UC so it's possible you can get 30%. I have other things I need to add to my rating but I don't want to request a formal board and risk getting knocked down to 10%. In your case you can only increase your rating but risk separation. My case on paper...

I just got the results of my informal board, permanent retirement at 30%. I have other conditions that didn't make it into my MEB that I would like to have included in my rating but not sure if I want to take my chances and lose the 30% (my condition is rated at either 10% and 30% - I thought I...

I've been on no points/no pay for a year awaiting the results of my MEB and have an EPR due. I haven't been able to participate for a year and have a failing PT test because my profile wasn't done correctly during most of the reporting period. No doubt my EPR won't be stellar. Should my EPR be...

In June my orders were backdated by AFMOA 2 1/2 months but it seems there's further guidance that's not in our favor. The orders were never cut though because someone in my chain determined since I had a civilian job I was not debilitated, therefore was not entitled to MEDCON orders. Lt Whealton...

My orders were backdated 2 1/2 months (for ulcerative colitis). I asked 2Lt Whealton for some clarification and he gave me this response: Normally AFMOA does not back date but it appears in this case they did, therfore you should be getting some back pay. My orders never got cut because my RMG...

It's not up to your unit because they're not in charge of the money. Any authorization to back date your orders comes from AFMOA, not anyone in your unit. It's not likely it will happen, but they won't be the ones who decide. They can, however, interfere so make sure you keep every e-mail and...

My CMAS was back dated a few months (to 25 Mar - my orders ended on 24 Mar) as if my orders never ended, which is the purpose of MEDCON orders IAW all applicable regs. That was decided by AFMOA, the approving authority for MEDCON orders. The orders never got cut which is another story entirely...

Bollocks. I'd like to see some of their OPR/EPRs, "Saved over $4m by violating regulations and denying legitimate requests for care. "* Is there a way I can get ahold of my case notes? Is there a particular form or file I should ask for? I know who my case worker is, could prob go straight to...

This is pretty amusing. Got this from the "individual not qualified to make a medical determination" who is singlehandedly responsible for having my approved MEDCON orders (with back pay) rescinded. This followed the explanation of how cancelling my approved MEDCON orders was the right...

I was authorised two months back pay on my MEDCON orders but was told that was not common. Never got to go back on orders as some unqualified individuals determined I was able to do my primary duties because I was working in a civilian job and not debilitated. Being a technician, you'll probably...

This is pretty funny, and we could all use a good laugh. I received this shortly after someone explained to me that cancelling my approved MEDCON orders was the right thing to do. The below link is the ARPC Personnel Fact Sheet which gives a lot of personnel information. Please...

I got pretty lucky since my MEDCON request was just approved for ulcerative colitis. Not sure how or why mine was approved when others who have more serious issues were not. The approval came unexpectedly after three months and I was given back pay.* My issue now is my RMG supt who says I'm...

I wish I would've found this forum sooner! Here is my situation-I PCS'd to England for an MPA tour which turned into back to back orders. I was awaiting my extension to take me through my last 120 days and found out, with one weeks notice, that my orders wouldn't be extended due to my pending...
