Hello all, My DA199 came in yesterday with the three conditions and % expected, but clearly states none are combat, instruments of war or hazardous duty related. Psoriasis Cervical strain/DDD R hip impingement syn/arthritis The Psoriasis I the main issue, goes way back to being discovered on one...

Just seeing if anyone had experience with appealing at the Formal Board. I’m covering all areas. I believe I have a good shot at decent ratings, but who the hell knows anymore. However, if it came down to it, and a member wanted to stay in service, how would that person go about that process? I...

Hello everyone, long time reader, and first time poster. My VA rating is complete and I am currently waiting on my DOD rating to come back. I was unofficially informed I am at 90% VA rating. I am anticipating it comes this week or early next week. I submitted a sleep study claim with APAP...

I’m in IDES. Still have some VA appointments before getting a rating but I don’t want to get out because my condition has improved (lower back). Has anyone had success with appealing to STAY in the military?

Hello, I’m relatively new to the whole IDES/MEB/PEB forums and I can’t seem to find any help outside of these forums. I’m hoping anyone has any pointers/guidance to share with me. Backstory: I got notified in January that I will need an IRILO. I completed that with my PCM and a NARSUM was...

TLDR: Air Force for +8yr, RLS for +2yr, declared fit, appeal AFRC? Hello all, Just had some quick questions about how to proceed. I recently was refered for a MEB for restless legs specifically. I had hoped smooth sailing as 6130 states sleep related movement disorders with obstructive sleep...

I have 21 years TIS. 8 years AD crew chief F16/F15s the rest as a dual status technician ANG crew chief F15. I bought my time back so my fed time is the same 21 years.

I have a friend that is currently going through the last few stages of the MEB process. He would greatly appreciate any advice on his current situation. His question is posted below: “Any member familiar with MEB appeal/board PEB appeal process? Received my retirement confirmation and ratings...

Hello everyone, I received 20% for my DoD rating. They gave me 20% for my lower back issues which was my referring condition, I filed an appeal to get bi-lateral plantar fasciitis (20%), Anxiety (70%), and bi-lateral knee tendinitis (20%) added as DQ conditions. My appeal date is September 27th...

Few questions I am being booted for PTSD/MDD with Ulcerative Colitis as a cherry on top. I am a little puzzled at the fact that I am placed on TDRL (I do understand most MH cases go the) but the verbiage of my NARSUM and even IPEB remarks is that the condition isnt going to improve (stable)...

Just got my ratings and I am at 20% DoD/100% VA. My severance pay will be around 95-100k and there should be no recoupment as I would still be 100% VA without my 20% DoD condition(if I understand this correctly?). I have a family of 4 (two kids under age 2) so I am trying to make the best...

Active Duty Army. Currently at the last appeal of my MEB. Something I did not catch until the IMR response was returned was that the Rheumatologist checked yes, I could do all APFT events on my initial P3 profile. No where did they mention anything about ACFT events. In the medical...

Hey all, I just received my IPEB ratings 30% dod PDRL and 100% VA. I don't have an assigned attorney to my case, at least not until I appeal so no one has been able to answer my CRSC questions. In fact I've talked to 5 different attorneys and have received 20 different answers but they all...

just received my DA 199 today and was disappointed (but not surprised) that the informal PEB decided to find me fit for duty. I am in a somewhat unique situation because I am a doctor in the army, and they will do almost anything to retain doctors in order to avoid “losing” out on their...

Good morning all, I recently submitted an appeal packet to the Army Board of Correcting Military Records, from what I have read once the ABCMR receives your packet they are suppose to issue you a case number or notification saying it was received and the following action they are going to...

My PEBLO has informed me that they are currently not hearing any formal boards because of Covid-19. Anyone else confirm this? FYI was rated 70 VA and 0 DOD and was in the process of waiting for an appeal. Thanks for the info in advance.

I was rated at 70% VA and 0% DOD. I have a genetic condition that the VA rated since it may have been “aggregated” by my service. The DOD found the opposite, saying that it was the normal progression of the disease. My attorney recommended an appeal because it “couldn’t hurt”. Today I found that...

Hello all. I have been going through the IDES process for about a year. I finally got my findings today. I got 20% DoD and 100% VA. however, I strongly disagree with my rating. My referred condition was lumbar spondylosis (forgive me if i spelled it wrong) with radiculopathy. My PEBLO I...
