easiest first step would be to change you RNLTD
Q: How do I change my Report Not Later Than Date (RNLTD)?
A: Log onto the vMPF. Self Service Actions, Assignments, and there is an area for you to request a RNLTD change. Your commander will be notified and will be asked to approve the change...
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...
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.

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.

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.
I was deployed and supporting 2/327 NO SLACK when I got blown up in May 2008.
My left foot and ankle sustained multiple fractures and was held together with lots of screws and plates.
Over the next two and a half years I had a dozen surgeries on the foot/ankle including a sub-talar fusion in...
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...
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...
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.
Update 4 Dec 2012, I received my approved VA claim packet today, dated 30 November 2012.
My retirement date was 28 October 2012 and the date of my claim was 26 September 2011.
The weird thing was that the same day they stamped my claim and placed it in an envelope for mailing, they updated my...
