    Back on again after a long break. Fully retired... 100%VA and 90%Army. Now the issue is continued care. My lung capacity is getting worse and my daily nebulizer is my recourse. I'm really worried about the moon dust from FOB Normandy (2 deployments to the same location '04 and '06) and the...

    DFAS is wrong about CCR? pls help

    I recommend looking at the CRSC threads. I'm pretty sure the DFAS person you had on the line is only partially correct, it's probably just the verbage you may have used. I am in the same boat and am already prepared to file for CRSC as soon as my numbers come in. The CRSC should offset the...

    Already VA rated - MEB just started with questions

    I'm on both... right now my C&P Claim Status on eBenefits is all the way back to Under Review with an estimated completion date of 3/12/2015 to 06/24/2015. My address is good in all the systems... If I were on active duty this would not happen. I guess a Purple Heart and BSM"V" don't give...

    Already VA rated - MEB just started with questions

    I'm about ready to go ballistic!!! I'm still amazed that the system is so JACKED UP!!! I have engaged my congressman, VSO, PEBLO, MSC... nobody seems to be able to help. My IDES is at 362 days and I am still at VA Rating. The latest is that Seattle says the original C&P Doctor did not follow...

    Already VA rated - MEB just started with questions

    Question #2 - Already having a VA rating kind of hurt me, because they screwed up my paperwork a few times which ended up costing me another 6 months of waiting. I heard that if you have a VA rating within 6 months of the MEB then they use that rating. My VA raiting was more than a year out...

    Signed 199....Now What

    I am not surprised with any of it at this point. We should all get together and write a book! I got an e-mail 19 DEC 2014, that had all previous e-mails included below that stated my ratings are complete and that I would get my DA 199 the following week (Christmas week... yeah whatever). The...

    discharge orders

    You should be honest with the Commander and tell him that you made plans for that time. Ask to RST the weekend (make it up at another time either before or after the weekend... as long as it is before 12 JAN. It may help to get your senior NCO in the loop too (1SG or CSM).

    Medical records during the MEB/IPEB

    I have the same question. Bottom line is that medical statuses change during the year+ it takes for this process. Since my process started I will have had 2 surgeries, multiple other procedures and appointments 2 and 3 times a week.
