Thanks. The diagnosis' I listed above are already on my NARSUM. The ROMs listed are from my C&P exams. My packet is about to go up to the PEB. I was just wondering, after reading other posts, if radiculopathy needs to be a seperate diagnosis. My medical records attest to the radiculopathy...

I'm sorry....what does EMG evidence mean?

Hello, all. After reading various posts about others with back/spine conditions, I am wondering about mine. My diagnosis' for my back/spine are: --Cervical Intervertebral Disk Syndrome w/degenerative arthritis changes and the most likley involved nerves are the Long Thoracic, Dorsal...

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. My PEBLO told me not to assume this will carry out until September. I can use whatever appeals processes I have available to me, but definitely not taking anything for granted. My PEBLO also said I could still get severance even if I have 20 years but that...

Thank you both for your responses. I am in the Army, and yes, worried about not making it to 20 because that will affect CRDP as well as other benefits of being medically retired vs. severance. I just know my timeline is off and don't want the PEB to come back with severance being so close to...

I just received my NARSUM back yesterday and was found unfit due to cervical disk disease and am now being referred to the PEB. My question is this: I have 19 years and 6 months active duty time as of right now. I will not hit 20 years until 3 September 2013. My PEB will most likely come...

Thank you. I'm just so confused about the whole process and want to make sure I don't mess anything up!

Does anyone know if a prior service enlisted Soldier who received their comission and was found unfit prior to the Soldier completing the 10 year commissioned time requirement applies to this? (I have 20 active duty years) Would I be retired as (and paid) for CPT retirement or as an E7?

I have just started my MEB process and met with my PEBLO for the first time on Monday. Then met with the VA rep yesterday. There was a form that I was supposed to fill out listing everything I wanted to claim through the VA. I told him that I wanted a chance to go through my medical records...

Thank you for the quick reply. I've seen plenty of posts about retirement vs. medical retirement but none that really expalins the difference between the two. And I definitely don't expect to receive 75% but just out of curiosity, how does that happen? Additionally, can I still get rated...

Good afternoon, can someone please explain to me - Barney-style - what the difference is between a regular, voluntary retirement and a Chapter 61 w/20 years. I have 19+ years in and am facing a MEB board soon. I can't voluntary retire because I have an ADSO incurred from transferring my Post...

So if you are a Chapter 61 with 20 years of service, does the VA compensate you for the same thing that DoD found you unfit for? For example, if DoD finds me unfit for my neck/back and rates me at 30%, from what I understand and please correct me if I'm wrong, I will still get 50% from DoD...

MHSO, my situation is very similar to yours and I have a ton of questions as I am just in the very beginning of the MEB process. Is there a way to contact you directly? Thanks!!!
