Ah, see I am not sure how it will work for you because I was active duty Army. I didn't have 20 years yet. From what you describe I think it will work out for you. It sounds pretty slam dunk what your problems and causes are.

Rick, my situation is very similar to yours. I got a severance from the Army and my initial overall rating from VA was 80%. My ratings were for several problems derived from one systemic cause. I just talked to Al from the Army review agency and I have been approved for retirement at 60%. When I...

Guys I just got off the phone with Al and he told me that he has my packet and I am now medically retired! I got 60% and I am already 90% through the VA.

:D Awesome!

Question to any of you that have been upgraded to retired. The PDBR website says "You may request to have TRICARE retroactively reimburse your previous medical expenditures." Have any of you done this? how hard is it to get reimbursed? Could you get your medical premiums reimbursed as well?

I got this email a few moments ago. Your application was recently considered by the Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR). Our agency has oversight of the PDBR. The application identified as AR20170000XXX has been considered by the PDBR and sent to the Army Review Boards Agency for final...

I am about ready to get a congressman involved. This is stupid and unacceptable that these packets are being sent from one organization to another and for months and/or years no one knows where it is. Sounds like yours is a bigger mess than mine.

Awesome!

I wonder what there process is? Let me know if you hear anything. I will post when I hear something as well.

I misread your reply the first time. This makes a lot more sense now. Thanks!

My address did change in Dec of 15, I did contact the Air Force folks and update that information and they confirmed that it had been updated. Whereas your packet was sent in Dec of 15 and signed off on in Feb of 16 (2 months +-) mine was sent to the Army in Nov of 16 and the Army says they...

This is why this is all so confusing. I got an email from the PDBR stating that they had sent a recommendation on 11 Nov 16 and that once it was received by the secretary of the Army DDA they would have 45 days to render a decision and 10 days to notify me after that. Now, I emailed the ARBA and...

Good afternoon! I am an Army vet, I just found this board and I have a couple of questions. I am going to post a couple of emails to help explain as I go. I filed a DD 294 that was received in April of 14 by the PDBR (Air Force Folks) I did the customary "4 month check backs" until late 2016...
