    Receiving SSDI, heard a nasty rumor please help

    I started getting SSDI in 2008, applied while I was at Walter Reed. I got it until I retired from the military. After I retired I landed a government job, GS-11, and notified SocSec right away. Since Nov 2012 I have been in a trial work period. Luckily for me I have not had any problems with...

    Finance office still sucks even after the Army

    yep, they put a hold on paying you to give themselves time to see if anyone says you owe money (equipment issue, library, etc.), then they pay you. 30-45 days after separation is about right. system sucks but it is much harder to get money back after the service member is out.

    Mystical Mythical 30% VA Letter

    In their system you don't have a VA rating until you have a final rating, you get your final rating when you are retired. Use the period before then to apply for a few federal jobs, refine your resume, figure out the federal hiring process. I landed a federal job based on my military...

    No worries there, I started my meb, had surgery, recovered, restarted meb from scratch. Talk to the doc, find out his opinion, get a second opinion either way and tell your doc that.

    Question about 10 Point Preference for Veterans

    If you are a Vet but your retirement was not because of Combat wounds, you can still get some of your military time counted towards the service computation date for leave. You will fill out an SF-813 and list all the campaigns or deployments that you were a part of and they send the form to your...

    Question about 10 Point Preference for Veterans

    I ended up at DoD in Wash DC, didn't get preference until I had my VA letter the week after I started working. I'm listed as 10 point in the system so I'm covered for RIF if it comes to that. Just this week they updated my Service Computation Date for leave to March 1996 due to my being...

    Pretty good pace so far...

    Yes, special POA. easiest is get ahold of DAV, VFW, etc. and get the POA form from them, get it notarized and give it back to them. They take care of everything really.
