I called the VA today, and I asked them what all this means. All the lady could tell me is that my official ratings are done, and that I will be getting a letter in the mail in 10 days explaining everything. So I asked when I should start receiving me VA compensation and she said there is a...

So I logged into Ebenefits again this morning, and the status changed from Pending Decision Approval to Preparation for Notification. Looks like this is going pretty quick. How will they notify me? Will it be by mail? I am guessing that my proposed rating of 80% from the VA will be my...

Ok so I am probably looking at receiving my VA compensation starting in November, since I am already at the Pending Decsion Approval stage. I should get at least 1000 dollars in back pay as well. Also my VA rep at my base told me before I left in June to send him a copy of my DD Form 214 once...

Good Afternoon, I was just recently retired on August 28th with 12 years of service, and in the grade of TSgt. What is the process now for the VA to complete my ratings. I was looking at my ebenefits and noticed that my original claim that was opened on 9/19/2013 was just closed on 9/22/2014...

Get a load of this guys, let me tell you the day I've had trying to outprocess today. First I go to medical I hand them my sheets the rude lady says you need an appt. for this so she said the first available appt for a retiring physical is 9 June well my final out was supposed to be 9 June so...

Yea I'll let you know man. TMO is what I am worried about the most. I am gonna go there sometime this week to set up shipping for my house hold items.

Well I got my orders today. Two days after I signed and excepted my ratings. My retirement date is 28 August 2014 if you include my 60 days of leave and 20 days of permissive I will final out on 9 June 2014. So I have a lot to do in order to final out on 9 June hopefully I'll be able to get...

Well in my unit I will probably have to ask someone to order my retirement certificates and asking for a retirement ceremony is probably pretty much out of the question. So once I get my orders I will ask someone in my orderly room to order my certificates. Also when you got your orders did...

Is it something I have to ask for or will they give it to me at my final out?

Thank you for this info. I think I am gonna request to have retirement certificates but I think I would be a little embarrassed to ask for my own ceremony although one of my friends might do it so will see. I have done a lot of things in my 12 year career so will see how this goes down.

Wow I am surprised. This is good information. So with me getting ready to be Medically Retired from the Air Force would I be entitled to a retirement ceremony and the same retirement certificates as a 20 year retiree? If that's the case then how many people actually except a retirement...

Ok so I signed and excepted my ratings yesterday with my Peblo and she said it could take anywhere between 1-35 days to get my orders I've had a couple of friends who got their orders within two hours of excepting their ratings however mine was on a Friday and she said the likely hood of them...

Sometimes your ebenefits will change sometimes it won't. It all depends if your VA rarer wants to update it or not. FYI it took my ebenefits 110 days to finally go to gathering of evidence to preparation for decision them another 3 weeks to change to pending decision approval then two weeks...

I just got my ratings a few days ago. I was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 2006 I have been in the Air Force since 2002 so it is a service related condition. It took them 4 years to finally get my thyroid regulated after removing my thyroid in 2006 I finally was on the right medication in...

Yea I am being medically retired. I am gonna have to do this quick. I go in on Friday to sign everything with my Peblo and I would assume I'll get my orders pretty quick. Most of my friends got their orders within two hours after signing their ratings. So I am hoping that's gonna be the case...

Lucky for me I went through TAPS at the end of February. You know what's With all these stupid classes you have to do for out processing. You had to take a pre-sep class then TAPS then when you out process you have to go through a capstone for them to review all your stuff like resumes and...

Well radiculopathy and IVDS was on my original MEB form for unfitting conditions but the base MEB took out the IVDS and kept the radiculopathy. My Peblo said I could fight it to get the IVDS added to my unfitting conditions but then I run the risk of getting TDRL instead of PDRL. I am not so...

Well I am planning on moving back home. So I am hoping I can final out before I take my leave and my permissive. I'm not sure if your allowed to do that though. I really don't feel like taking all my leave and having to come back here to out process. Hopefully they will let me out process...
