Great news! How many sponsors are needed to see it move forward?

Great read. Shared on my social media pages. It's about time that we start seeing some articles written about this.

anyone from Northern Colorado that's interested in emailing Congressman Neguse please let me know. I know the more people from his district that blow up his email will help him see how many of us are invested in this bill!

Awesome template! I met with Congressman Neguse from Colorado this week for an in person roundtable discussion with other veterans. I made sure to bring this bill to the table and emphasized how important it is. He shared that he is a co-sponsor of the bill and that he would contact Congressman...

Thankyou for the reply. i was med retired 2 years ago with 75% DOD/100% P&T VA/ 90% CRSC. If MRSA is passed, my understanding is that my offset between VA and DOD would go away and I would receive both VA and my full (75%) DOD. I am not sure if my CRSC will remain, but ill gladly trade that for...

if the MRSA gets put into law would veterans that it benefits be subject to back pay?

Can anyone speak to a question one of my Marines that got out a year ago asked me? He go out honorably after 6 years. Just got set up with VA for his own medical but was told by VA his spouse could not enroll in tricare. He is 40% VA rated. What are ways that he can achieve getting his spouse...

Good Morning Veterans! I am recently medically retired from USMC in July. I was awarded 75% DOD/100% P&T VA with SMC-K. Does anyone have any experience or guidance with regards to the VA Pension Program? I am getting familiar with the VA.gov site and E benefits and found this. I think I...

Ron, All great information. This pandemic has resulted in many of my questions and concerns to be unanswered due to closures of offices. Due to this, I am appreciative of your dedication and support. Thank you. I did not know that benefit existed in Colorado for retirees, but that certainly is...

my basic calculations that I hope you can confirm are this. DOD retire pay- $6634 (base pay) X 75%= $4975/month VA Comp w/ spouse, 3 kids under 18 and SMC-K- $110.31+$3406.04+$86.05+$86.05=$3688.05/month DOD offset= $4975-$3688.05= $1286.95 DOD offset X Colorado state income tax=$1286.95X...

Hoping to create a discussion as to steps that need to be completed prior to EASing. I was unfit on MEB and awarded TDRL. Since then my command has more or less forgotten about me and due to COVID i have felt alone during this transition about what I need to do. My questions that I need...

Thanks Ron for the prompt reply. I am still AD with my official retirement date on 30 July 2020. I have received my final ratings decision from both DOD and VA. I was told by my Peblo that I cannot apply for CRSC until after my EAS date. Can you confirm? Also, does DFAS automatically start...

Good Morning all, I was deemed unfit through PEB and awarded medical retirement through TRDL. Can anyone provide some guidance on what my expected payments will be monthly based on my ratings? DOD unfitting conditions- Migraines-50% and PTSD (combat related) 50% Marine Corps Captain O3 pilot...

congrats! that's awesome. so whats next?

I started the MEB process back in late September 19 for PTSD (combat related) and migraines. I’ll spare my timelines, but can provide if requested. 26 March case was closed out with VA Received findings 14 April: TDRL -50% for PTSD & 50% Migraines -80% DOD -100% VA Not sure when to expect...

It just happened to be the right guy I was speaking to. I attempted to have a real person conversation with him. Something that is uncommon when speaking with the VA it seems. I explained my frustrations in not knowing what was happening and then I just asked if he could tell me what the total %...

Thank you all for your responses. It has been well past the “7-10 business days” I was told to expect notification of my disability percentages as stated by VA.gov I called them today and a rep over the phone told me that an electronic version had been sent to my PEBLO.I have not heard from him...

Still Active duty. I understand what your saying. That makes sense. Is there a way to see what decision the VA made with regards to any ratings prior to getting DD214 and before my PEBLO contacts me?

Hey y’all. My claim was received 28 Oct 2019. My PEBLO told me that since my claim was sent to VA then that means the PEB found my case unfit. VA.gov lists my claims as being closed as of 26 March and that my claim is being mailed to me in 7-10 business days. It also instructed me to go my E...
