Also had multiple unprovoked DVT/PEs, on lifelong anticoagulation and need compression stockings. I was rated 60% by VA, Air Force concurred with rating. I was medically retired, for this and 5 or 6 other conditions found unfitting. I've heard DVT/PE can go either way if you put together a...

Fair enough, The only fault in your above equation is you forgot to then divide by the number of alligators ; ) Suppose there is nothing left to do except submit a complete pacakge at this point. Thanks. Good luck to OP, I would also use all your appeal options while.in the process

I had a similar situation. Had clear combat related documentation, and the PEB stated it was combat zone related. Though my DD214 states the narrative reason for separation was "IDES, Combat Related" and there are associated combat related codes listed. I've not yet applied for CRSC, but am...

Charlie, Thank you for pointing that out, I originally misunderstood this timeframe. I've not yet contacted my Congressman. I was trying to get a feel of others opinion on doing so. I wasn't sure if I was wrong in my belief that we are well past reasonable. While I am familiar with others...

Thankfully yes, but it was more of a Lady Luck & God Willing sort of thing. The process timeframes are what saw me through, but you will find others who were not as fortunate. My understanding is that medications like Apixiban/Riveroxiban are considered a bit safer these days. If i recall...

Thank you for the prompt input and very informative link. Elsewhere, another helpful vet shared the link to a Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General Audit Report on the topic: https://www.oversight.gov/sites/default/files/oig-reports/A-15-17-50227.pdf Their own finding...

Context: -2016-2020: underwent two consecutive MEBs - Determined 100% P&T Disabled by Service Branch and the VA, also designated as housebound - 47 collective rating, both Mental Health and Physical -- Even if you were to remove the 100% PTSD rating, I would still have received 100% P&T on...

I was AD.

I was medically retired in August, 100% VA/100% DoD PTRL. The DVT/PE rating stayed @ 60%, and still on Apixiban for life.

Digging a bit deep, so may or may not be value added. I underwent two consecutive MEBs, first I endured unprovoked DVT wil bilateral PEs. The doctor allowed me a trial period to come off of the blood thinners, this helped keep me active duty. Second MEB due to other medical issues, though the...

Thank you Ron & your fellow Moderators!

.....The Hero We Need Solid Advice.......Standard Issue

Excellent and very insightful follow-up information Ron. I will mentally factor that input as part of the rationale of my current reality I may (should) eventually be approved for CRSC myself, but figured I should just work with the facts on hand. Until that day, I will continue to monitor the...

Ron, You are most welcome, you provide a service (with patience and promptness) that is not found elsewhere. YOU Rock! Thank you. While these numbers are lower than I anticipated, I am grateful to have served as long as I have...and would do it all over again. Be well Ron, I always read your...

Ron, God Bless....sincerely! Day after day you selflessly devote your time and patience to answering the same repetitive questions from us simple folk. Mr. Perry, I (everyone) appreciates this forum and I hope it yields a.steady stream of business for your practice. I know you don't comment...

Ron, Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to hear that that im at least partially correct. That said, I'm more than a little dense when it comes to math. So no sense in being ashamed to ask "explain it to me like I'm 5" I can't seem to wrap my mind around the "fuzzy" CRDP math concerning reductions...

Good afternoon, Looking for a sanity check on which DFAS DoD Disability Retirement Formula will be applied. My baseline understanding is taken directly from DFAS: https://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/plan/estimate.html ------------------------------------------- "DISABILITY RETIREMENT The...
