It appears that you are one step ahead of me in this process. You have had a reeval for TDRL/PDRL. I do not beleive the 50 to 30 reduction would affect your VA rating. However, I do beleive you are correct in the concern for how it may affect your CRSC if that item is combat related. It is my...

I had asked if I should push getting a re-eval considering I have been on TDRL now for 2 years and have not had an evaluation since placed on TDRL in JUN12. A trustworthy source suggested that I do. This way I don't run the risk of not getting notification and possible losing TriCare for my...

Unless I am missing something it shouldn't matter at your end. You can't collect both VA and DoD payments and as long as you are above 30% with DoD you will retain Tricare for you and your family.

Did you every get an answer to your question? Have you already been rated by the VA?

Hey does anyone know if I coud be found fit if I were to just get my hips replaced? Is there a reg against being on active with a hip replacement?

I am looking for some insight as to what to expect. I would like to be better prepared when all this gets going. If you have been through this and have insight as to what to do to prepare for the interview, what to bring or if you know of a website that has a list of "to-dos" that would be...

Thanks Ed! VA has not completed my initial claim so I don't have the offset yet. Going to see the VSO today....

I received a reply back from DOA regarding my CRSC claim and I am unsure of how to procede. ----------per letter---------------------- Your claim cannot be processed due to the reason cited below. RECORDS SHOW THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE A VA WAIVER: If you do not have a VA Waiver off-setting your...

I agree with ND and NW. To hell with the gov... I'm lookng out for me. If I can get to the point of running again then so be it. It would be worth any repercussions!

Yeah... I would be parking in the handicap spot after just thinking about riding a bull...

No BigWill, it was not questioning your integrity. It was a joke and I do apologise if it was taken seriously. If someone were to recognise your name from you having placed 3rd in the Olympics, I'm sure there would be a problem. Or if they were to follow up from your authorization to request med...

BigWill, That is a good questions for you to ask. Yes, absolutely. They do random sub rosa investigations. You gotta figure the cost of random investigations vs the 100's of thousands of dollars going out to individuals. That's why it is always important to be honest with all claim information...

Troopers, I apologize, I did not read the the entire topic. I had FAI, alpha angle was at 70 something percent with labral tear and cysts. Had two surgeries while on AD. Second was to try to work on the alpha angle and reattach cartilage. I don't know the details but the doc mentioned something...

I just started TDRL. I was told to check with the PEBLOs office. It was also mentioned that if I had problems getting answers to ask for the contact info for the Ombudsman. It sounded to me that in absence of any mail directing me otherwise, that I should contact the same office that I went...

On average, how often does the VA rate a specific condition higher than DoD vs lower vs the same?

I couldn't quite take your advice on the daily sick call, but I did have follow up Dr appt. Well, I found that the 3rd world intestinal parasite that I had at the beginning of the year is gone. Great news, right? So the doc is looking at me kinda funny and asks me to strip down. He takes...

IMO If he wants to stay in I would suggest flying low and staying out of radar. I went for a long time trying to stay out of focus. One day command started putting the pieces together and I ended up going through the MEB/PEB process now I'm losing my job. They are medically retiring me. The...

ND... You're awesome! This may buy me some time. I will see what I can do with it. For anyone that doesn't know, the little DTAP brochure really looks helpful. All MEB/PEB folks should look into this. Thank you all!

Does anyone know if the Disabled Transition Assistance Program (DTAP) is mandatory? I just found out about its existence last Wednesday. Great info but would have been useful if I had known about it back when the med process started.

Well... There are a couple issues left unresolved. One missing award, DD2384 for education bennies that nobody in the unit seems to know anything about, the DD214 errors and the Pre Separation brief that they scheduled me for on 01JUN at Irwin. It is my understanding that it should have been...
