The Army gave me 0% on epilepsy and 10% on my knee and never addressed anything else. I am now with 20% on my knee and 100% on my epilepsy. I received a letter from the Army stating my medical discharge is now being removed and changed to Permanent Medical Retirement. I called the PDA and the...

So how long is this process now? Will I get the severance pay back or will the "Retired" title be all I get?

I went to the VA today and they said if the Army is retiring me then my family will lose CHAMPVA and I will need to get TRICARE. He also stated that I will get no pay from the Army to include no return of my severance pay of $58,800. So in conclusion if my information is right the only thing I...

Good morning all, I just got the letter from the Army that states I am now "Permanent Disability Retirement" effective the date of medical separation with a 30% rating. What should I do now, where should I go for assistance? I have read that if you get PATD rating you get paid and get the...

I was diagnosed in the US Army back in 1993 with epilepsy due to an accident in a HUMVEE which was no fault of mine. I was treated for my epilepsy for the entire duration of my time in service with various medications until my medical discharge due to a knee injury in 2005. When I went through...

Okay so I will post my whole case to get more precise information as to what I will get or not get:

So if I get my retirement will the VA give me back my $58,800?

So I served almost 14 years in the Army and if I am retired I get nothing from the Army but a letter of retirement? I was injured in Iraq with my left knee and was evacuated from the zone and sent back to the states. I then was medically discharged because of my knee and given 20% the VA has...

So am I to understand this that I was discharged with a 0% for epilepsy and later the VA found me to be 100% and I will get no money from DFAS or the Army? If that is the case then why should I even be concerned about being retired if there is no benefit from it? I was with the understanding...

I was discharged with a 0% for epilepsy and when the VA evaluated me and all was said and done I was at 100% service connected disability. I am not sure how that will work but hopefully it will be good for me.

I just received a notification that my packet was going to the Army very soon but not sure how long the process will take.

I was discharged in 2005

I was not retired from the Army, I was given a medical discharge and $58,800 and was done. I served over 13 years. I am not sure if it is a good thing that I never initiated this PDBR review but it is in its final stages I guess.

I was given a 20% rating from the VA and I appealed that and after 2 years of waiting they awarded me 100% and paid me like 60k back pay.
