Joecool, Who did you call at Balboa to get your verbal ratings? How long for you to see them on paper? I am about a week behind your timeline & going through Balboa as well. My Ebennies states "Pending Decision Approval" as of 22 Oct. Thx

The is the perception but it is not necessarily the case. I was told the same thing and my Ortho Doc refused to refer to IDES because I refused back surgery. Essentially, it was an admin paperwork deal and I was not his patient (post-surgery) so he sent me back to PCM to write referral. PCM is...

Well technically you can only come off of LIMDU, if your MO states that you are Fit for Full Duty. Did that happen? Or did you get referred to Ortho at that point? Bottom line is that you are either LIMDU or back to Full Duty, no limbo... You are only allowed 2 LIMDUs for the same condition if...

Then you should go back to your PCM or BN Surgeon and explain the situation and request another opinion. The bottom line is that if your Command will support that your condition is making you unable to perform the duties of your MOS and Grade (which will become the Nonmedical Assessment) and...

Did you get a memo from Balboa or just a verbal? PEBLO told me that Navy Yard recieved my case Sept 19th, but no word on UNFIT yet!

Thanks Mike, That is a good resource to research cases. What do think or your experience with combined ortho & nero ratings? So from these results I see the following: - ROM L-spine (20 degrees) = 40% - Femoral Nerve RLE (Moderate) = 20% - Sciatic Nerve RLE (Moderate) = 20% - Sciatic Nerve...

I pretty sure that all USMC cases go to Providence... At least that is what I was told in DTAP here on West Coast.

It appears that VA ratings from RI are taking 4-6 weeks to get back to PEBLO if all goes well.

Mike, If you could help me out with my C&P results I posted, I would greatly appreciate it.

Mike, You absolutely correct as far as doing the math and it depends. I should have posted that in my case TERA was not a better option. Something else to consider is that Marines are not eligible if going through medical issues per MARADMIN 155/13 which states "OFFICERS PENDING LEGAL ACTION...

Our situations sound pretty similar except my referred condition is lumbar. I have thought along the same lines and honestly it depends on details of your condition. Take a look at ratings for Cervical Spine & Hips and compare to your conditions and medical records. Although it is a calculated...

Can anyone help with potential rating from the above C&P results? I have some idea but many of you all have a wealth of knowledge on this stuff.... Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I am new to posting, but have been reading this forum for about 6 months now. I appreciate all of the insight that everyone brings to the table as it has been very helpful during this IDES process. A lil more about myself: Marine Corps Officer w/ over 15 years of service referred to...
